John Lofgren's EngineerBootsare inspired bythevintage engineer boots collected by John over several decades. This collection provides him with theinspiration and knowledge of how well-made boots should be constructed, and it's the foundation of hisreputation as one of the worlds finest producer of boots! The Lofgren team is known tocherish the process and craftsmanship of boot making that in most cases today unfortunately have fallen into oblivion in a world of mass production.
These boots are made from start tofinish by experienced craftsmen in Japan with no expenses spared in the sourcing of materials.The uppers are made from the highest grade Horween Chromexcel hideswhich is famous for it's beautiful aging properties and long lasting durability. Withwear the brown core of the leather starts to show through the black surface, giving the leather a characteristic look that only gets more beautiful with time.
Thanks to theirarch support, quality construction and durable soles, these boots are suitable for everyday wear no matterthe occasion. They are comfortable straight out of the box and will only get more comfortable with wear as the insoles conform to your feet.
John Lofgren is famous formaking sure thatevery step of the supply chain isbeingmade underethical working conditions, even down to the smallest nails and eyelets!
A common experience when first trying a pair of pull-on boots is that they feel large in the heel. However - your heel needs to be able to move in the beginning. A heel slip of about half an inch (a bit more than a centimeter) is completely normal and will prevent chafing. With some wear, the boot will form a crease above your heal, giving you a personal fit.
The last picture shows howSecond Sunrise owner Douglas's John Lofgren boots look now after several years of use. They really age with dignity! If you prefer a cleaner look you can of course keep them black by using black shoe cream instead of natural like Douglas prefers.
