Nice boots @louisbosco I have an order of the SD in Brown HH without the captoe. Cannot wait to get them and start wearing them.

I'm thinking of buying a pair of these http://www.eastwestapparel.co.uk/Whites-Boots/semi-dress-british-tan
Has anyone used this shop before? Also how do they size up?
Thanks in advance

Thanks @hajduk and @seanocono appreciate the nod! Hope the SJ's are serving you well hajduk and all is well with you.

The SJ are…how to say it...? Made for my feet. I like absolutely everything about these! Cuban heels are killer!
Jamie, short question, the nomads engineers comes with the same last as my SJ?

Good to hear, It's taken a while but I'm just coming around to the Cuban! The Nomads are built on their own last (which they wont use in a lace up unfortunately) but from feeling/ trying it it feels like a mix between the SD and SJ last. It's a nice shape and size is the same as the SJ.

Must do a run of them soon!

Here are my nomads after probably a couple of years. natural cxl, soft toe, one lift lower

[urbanwoodsman]

Fuck, those are amazing. I've gone back and forth on which leather to get in a pair of nomads. This is swaying me.

[fre-co]

And this was them a couple of years ago

^ Love your taste in boots.

[Bluegrass]

Those are amazing, don't see many well-worn Nomads - or many Nomads period…

[aho]

Not to be redundant but damn, those Nomad's are so amazing, they'd be my choice if I were going for engineers that weren't Role Club.

If I were to buy another pair I would not get natural cxl. I'm not keen on this leather. It scrapes and scuffs too easily and is not a great choice for riding a motorcycle.

I agree with you. Pretty much all CXL easily scratches. But if you shine them regularly, which I'm assuming you did, the y age beautifully. I've had two pairs of boots with Natty CXL and it can age badly if you don't take care of it.

[fre-co]

Nope never shined them… Not that I can relax all. Do you use neutral wax or tan or what?
I have treated them with obenaufs fairly regularly because they have a pretty hard life. They also have had a few coats of Saphir renovateur
