Why did you choose this item?
Slimmer profile than my other engineers and came up on eBay in my size. I gambled and it paid off these have been a game changer for me. These are hand made and cost the price of a pair of redwings.
How did you determine your size?
Their website is very good and then just went for it
What was the ordering process?
I won them on eBay and two days later they arrived
Use & wear
Worn everyday and at work sometimes.
Leather
At first I babied them so scared to get get a scratch in the wrong place. The eased a the leather just moulded to my feet from day one. The smell of this leather is next level.
Fit
Very comfortable hardly any heel slip removed when straps were tightened and new holes made.
Craftsmanship
These are hand made boots a few mistakes but nothing major.
Sole & heel
Grippy and low profile these have both.
I’ve enjoyed wearing these boots as much as possible over the last 5 months.
Final thoughts
I was lucky to get these in my size for the price I payed. Briselblack and Benzein are doing a fantastic job in suppling the world with handmade boots that not only look good last a lifetime and don’t cost the earth. Thank you Briselblack please continue in making boots the way you do best.
