Engineer Boots - Badalassi Grigio

Product details
If you want the absolute best in engineer boots, this is it. John Lofgren debuted these in 2012, and every run has sold out as fast as he could produce them.
Every great pair of footwear begins with a good last, and these start from a custom made last designed by John to give a 1950's silhouette to the boot (no toe bump, with a nice taper to the shape).
Sewn up in Badalassi's Grigio Minerva leather, this is a full grain, vegetable-tanned cowhide from one of Italy's premier tanneries. The Lofgren team only purchases and accepts the highest quality hides offered by Badalassi, inspecting each one to make sure it meets their rigid criteria.
A soft and desaturated Olive drab color, the Grigio leather will patina quickly and dramatically, darkening in areas of high visibility from light and appearing lighter in areas of regular movement or tension. The color variation across each panel will become more pronounced as these boots age, giving more prominent highs and lows of saturation over time.
The rest of the construction details are on par with that fantastic leather - Japanese steel shanks, British Goodyear welting, and brass-coated steel buckles made in Tokyo. Even the labels are made on shuttle looms. All of this goodness is pulled together and turned into boots at one of the best footwear factories in Japan.
If you want to go really in-depth - check out what John at Vintage Engineer Boot's has to say about them.
