Man, these are gorgeous. I'm curious how they compare to the non-Hikaku in dark brown version that's out there. I think I prefer the darker heel finishing on this version.

[@UrbanLadUK]

I choose these boots precisely because the heel looks to me smarter compared to the other models

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Top notch boots

[@SlavaT]

Great video! Very useful for me! It was important for me to understand their size guide

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!!!! I’m happy that it was helpful 👍👍👍👍

i have the lofgren duke roper in the same shinki horsehide they have become one of my favorites to wear hoping to add some of there engineers at some point.

[@mooseko467]

My choice also :-) .. Except for Clinch, but they are double the price ....

[@casuallyworked4698]

another boot that looks very similair to john lofgren is the flathead engineer

[@UrbanLadUK]

And the Real McCoys looks very similar

[@toneohm]

my pick is still Wesco Mr. Lou.. or Role Club.. I like the Lofgrens about the same as the Clinch ones Julian's look nice too.. Moto.. Attractions.. (im referring to shape mostly.. bc i only have the Mr. Lou's personally) thanks for the video! i really admire yours... the Shinki.. and not having that storm welt.. looks way better without it!! hah i really want to try something with Shinki leather

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! I want to try CXL. To me, all these brands are good quality the difference is the shape and the fitting

[@CsawBoots]

@@toneohm If you want to try Shinki horse, I’d recommend Lofgren. They consistently have the best Shinki has to offer.

Excellent review Diego. Loved listening to your process of selection. It seems like engineer's are the most difficult boots to get a good fit. I've heard others describe the Lofgren's as difficult to get on and off. I wonder if pull tabs would help? I wish that I could find a pair to try on. An expensive purchase if they are not correct.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you!! Engineer boots are tough to find the right size and proper fit for. I have watched most of the reviews, and I have read the forums, and most of the people complain about the fit even with the correct size. In my case, I bought the JL because of the fitting, and on the first try, I failed; I needed to exchange for a larger size; the pull tabs help you if the boot fits well 👍👍👍👍

[@telemarktumalo6978]

@@UrbanLadUK Update: Diego, I took the plunge and received a pair these gorgeous JL's in this same makeup from Standard & Strange. They also advised 1/2 size down from my Brannock. I crossed my fingers but knew I could send them back or exchange if they didn't fit. They arrived and first try on was perfect. Gorgeous boots and I'm breaking them in with more hours of wear each day and have had two hikes of 2+ hours. Length is perfect. Just right across the instep, moderate arch support. A small amount of heel slip. Initially, the left boot was snug at the ball of my foot, but already molding to the shape of my foot. I have no issues taking the boots off and on and pop right in with only mild push down and a wiggle of the toes. Thanks for your excellent review as it was instrumental in helping me select these. Yes, they are expensive but the cost of ownership value will be appreciated in 5-10 years. These are keepers!

[@UrbanLadUK]

It is so lovely to hear that you have found the proper boots for you!! Enjoy them until the next pair catch your eye 😉

[@telemarktumalo6978]

@@UrbanLadUK Ha... isn't that the truth! I'm about to enter a pair of boots in the Patina Thunderdome for the first time and will do my best to honor the tradition of wearing a pair daily for 6 months. I ordered a pair of Wesco Mr. Lou's that are sheduled to be made late fall or winter, so set for the foreseeable future. Keep up the great reviews Diego. Wondering if you have any long term updates on your jackets or boots.

[@UrbanLadUK]

Thank you! Sure thing is going to be updated content about how to evolve boots, denim and jackets

[@CsawBoots]

I take the Lofgren engineer in true to size as well. 👍

[@UrbanLadUK]

The sizing is not easy in engineer boots, I have found so many different advises

[@CsawBoots]

@@UrbanLadUK Agreed, engineers are the most difficult to get the sizing correct. If you like the John Lofgren engineer true to size, I would suggest the Wesco Mister Lou also true to size.

[@UrbanLadUK]

@@CsawBoots I was thinking the same about Wesco Mr Lou

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Do you know about Heinrich Dinkelacker shoes? They got some boots model and belts. Really good quality.

[@UrbanLadUK]

🤔 Never heard about this brand before; I will check

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Very strong thick well constructed shoes that fit with jeans and they are elegant at the same time ok for informal work

[@nirwanaeathell]

why no try on ?

[@UrbanLadUK]

Check min 14:25 of the video is the try-on
