Brown Italian HorsehideContinued to wear occasionally with most attention on the Milne boots. Leather feels surprisingly dry considering they haven’t been worn that much or on wet days

Customized based on measurements.
Minimal heel slip out of the gate without adjusting straps and wearing medium-thin wool socks. Decent arch support and fits well all around my feet, which is rare for my narrow, low volume and instep feet. I like my shoes to fit more snugly, so Brian’s sizing is spot on.

Why did you choose this item?
First off, I think Role Club makes one of, if not, the best designs for engineer boots. I absolutely love his design in the Italian brown horsehide, and I wanted a custom fit. I’ve struggled to make pull-on boots work because of my narrow, low volume feet, but he did a great job with sizing. I really love the passion and subtlety behind his boots, such as the unique soles and Role Club stamp. The design is perfectly balanced. I prefer to save for and buy the best if I can. Hoping I can wear these for the rest of my life.
How did you determine your size?
Sized by Brian at his shop in LA.
What was the ordering process?
1/2 down deposit followed by a store visit for sizing (option to send in measurements as well). Originally quoted November 2025 delivery, but they arrived about 2 months early.
