@Graeme I was really looking forward to the tobacco chamois but I think the aged bark will be a good look too.
And it'll give me an excuse to get another pair of engineers down the road in a darker brown leather.
I'm pretty sure Dave from Himel Bros. said there would be another run of the brown horsehide engineers he did with Viberg on his Instagram. Hopefully that comes to fruition. -
There will always be another pair of dark brown Engineers.
I like the Hoppers, but the last doesn't quite work for me. With thin socks on, I find they slip around a lot. With thick socks, they're just slightly cramped around my big toe. The stock advice seems to be to go up half a size on them.

I ordered a 12 based off the fact that I have a pair of 11.5 Boondockers on the 2045 last that fit very well.
Hopefully they fit, the 1035 beige calf derbies I have in 12 are a little long and narrow for my foot, so hopefully that won't be the same case with the 2005 engineer last. I put some insoles in the derbies and they fit a little better now luckily. -
I've got a pair of Scouts on the 2030 last, and the Hoppers on the 2050, both in a size 13. The Hoppers don't quite work for me, but I do wear them a bit.
You might get away with an 11.5, but a 12 will probably be better. I'd have to jump from 13 to 14, and I don't know if that would work.

'Sad they were not a match for u.
Initially, I had similar experience w/wearing thin vs thick socks. I tried slipping in some sort of "training" leather insoles [Tacco], to wear w/ thin socks … just till the leather break in & [stabilizes]. Been working for me so far__ heel slippage down to a minimum.'Plan on wearing them more often once the NYC heat subsides.

I tried @trail and arrow's pair of Viberg Hikers on, and they are a wide fit.
I'd suggest giving Viberg a shout and seeing what they advise.

Broark, thinking about a pr for myself.

I spoke with the guys at Notre. Anyone else interested in trying to get another run of these made:

We would need six people to sign on. I'm one. Are five of you guys interested? They are great boots in a last that looks great and is super comfy for guys like me who can't wear the 2030. Please message me if you are interested.Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
