There are some PRISTINE size 11 Baldalassi cognacs on eBay. $900 + $25 shipping.

Speaking to the guy for measurements right now… Wondering if can work with thin socks

[mclaincausey]

He posted some measurements in the description I think

[tatmantall]

Yeah but I need a wall to toe measurement to compensate for the Cuban heel. Heel to toe is worthless on Cuban heel builds

[Bluegrass]

tell him to give you heel to toe inside - i have my eye on some road champs but need the measures… good luck with those baldalassis.

[tatmantall]

1/8" shorter than my others… Don't think it's gonna work... Bummed. I want done cognac baladassis sooooo bad

[mclaincausey]

Bummer. No guarantee of a re-run since it's a collab.

[tatmantall]

Yep…. And john told me awhile back all the tanneries over there getting bought up by companies like Hermes so not sure if or how much longer the leather would still be available.

[tatmantall]

Spoke to mr. Lofgren again last night, engineers have been pushed back again to at least December  :-\

I wonder how bad it hurts to just cut off a small portion of my big toe ..

Ask G 

[Giles]

A lot….

Evo update

[tatmantall]

nice m

[Snowy]

Few miles been walked in them, very nice.

[Bluegrass]

You've been wearing these a bunch, obviously! Great!

[grandmasterben]

I have a completely justified (as shown by the pics) reason to lust after some lofgren engineers.  Tat, so will the black cxl ones be available in december???

[mclaincausey]

Took this the other night.

Had a sneak preview of John Lofgren's yet to be released monkey boots the other day. Really coool. Exciting to see Lofgren diversifying his boot line, taking the high quality and originality of his engineers to a new boot. Not sure of the details of the final boot, but the ones I saw looked great in burgundy CXL.

[mclaincausey]

Yeah he posted this on Facebook. The workboots have been a long time coming as well, I wonder what's going on with those.

[Chiba J.]

Yeah, there was a tease pic on Facebook, but I also got to see them in person. I wasn't all that excited about the FB pic, but after seeing them live in the flesh, they're stuck in my head. As with his engineers, the Monkey boots are a tough, rugged, extremely well-built workboot with a very high level of aesthetic sophistication and refinement. That's a somewhat lame description of something I find hard to put into words, but that's sort of my take on the signature of Lofgren footwear…..
