John Lofgren (Speedway)

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.

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 ..

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.

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…..

[theorocks]

just got word black engineers will be available apr/2014 they are accepting pre order payment …..looking for the ultimate engineer ...decisions decisions

[mclaincausey]

Lemme help you out…

[theorocks]

damn fine boots sir

[theorocks]

You went tts ? right

[Chiba J.]

Just FYI, think there will be another round of Badalassi cognac and possibly burgundy as well.

I think if you have a high volume foot and/or plan on using a good sized insole, you will be fine TTS. But if you have lower volume feet, you'll want to size down a half size. I have a somewhat low volume foot that's 12 TTS and went 12. They work, but I'd be better served with 11.5.

[mclaincausey]

I'm tts to my US

I called Lofgren's new boots "monkey" boots in my earlier post, but they're actually just lace to toe. Somebody called them monkey boots the other night and it stuck in my head. I think the lace to toes are the "work boots" that McLain mentioned, no?
