@T4920 oh sorry i misunderstood and thought you meant you saw some 2nd hand Lofgrens with a custom last. But yes you can resole them, if seen lot of variations on the web and especially the role club resoles on the Lofgrens are pretty epic for sure. To be honest i would never drop my high end boots by a ‘regular’ cobbler and would always invest on a good resole cause imo that’s how they’ll last for ages
-
@Heavy_blue that makes sense, and obviously resoling wouldn't even be a consideration until years down the lines, but something to thing about nonetheless..
Also considering the Green CXL Chelsea Boots, a little more affordable but way less of a statement piece imo...
Wish these had the Woodsman Heel like the DPs!

@T4920 beware.. once you’ll go down this line a new addiction has been born but i must say that my punchers are among my favorites! The calf lining and the overall vibe, fit and comfort is amazing! Also check the role club underdogs which are so very cool! But i’m very pleased with my lofgren engineers and punchers.. but can’t wait for my wesco anniversaries to arrive and don’t even get me started on the clinch 🫣

@T4920 I was never a boots guy and always wore sneakers on a daily basis... Then I discovered Red Wings, went down the rabbithole and bought a lot of expensive boots from RW, Alden, RM Williams and now Lofgren.
To be honest on most days I grab my IH sneakers because it's just the easy way. If I could start from the beginning with what I know now I would have never spend so much money in total but buy one or two realy nice boots. Probably Lofgrens. If you are not a boot guy I would go with the chelsea for the start because they are great for everyday wear but still rugged. Or the M43 they are still wearable whole year round but still give the feeling of a great boot

@FlavourFade thanks for the advice, I'm very aware of that rabbit hole effect too haha...

@T4920
can’t go wrong with the donkeys
already pretty comfy out of the box . And the quality ist outstanding. The donkeys are the best made from Lofgren in my opinion. Have the burgundy
-
@Daniel-San yes I think seeing your burgundy inspired me... also like the light brown roughout ones, but out of stock in my size right now
-
the rough out are awesome , thought about buying them too a few times
-
Combat Timber CXL.

@Heavy_blue Thanks, man! Appreciate it.
-
@stichdown-shell lofgren are among my favorite boots. They’re comfortable and so well made
-
I am loving the Dukes. Here’s a photo of them in my locker at the pool.
-
@deanclean those are ace!
-
Thanks @Heavy_blue I wasn’t loving how you could see the shaft of the boots under the jeans, but they have sort of softened up a bit and it isn’t as pronounced.
-
@deanclean when new they look like ‘just ok’
To me but rough out and some indigo patina..
Makes me
Almost wanna grab a pair -
Not your Mothers Combat boots
