MF® Road Champ Engineer Boot

This is a boot I’ve had my eyes on for nearly two years now… and I finally acquired a pair ::-)
They are worth every single euro if you ask me.  When you slip your feet into those, you just know you are wearing a high quality, well thought out, custom-made pair of Engineer Boots.

The leather on the entire boot is a thick cowhide, yet very supple, a high-quality leather IMO.  Chocolate brown in color, but after a few wears a lighter brown undertone is showing up (the leather is vegetable tanned!.  I also have to mention that after a few days of continuous wear, the soft toe box is beginning to mould into the purposed flat toe shape.

The thickness of the double leather soles (though not to stiff, compared to my Viberg Service Boots) and heels (Cat’s Paw of course, which will wear out quite fast) maket hese boots perfect.

Some details :

Olive colour inside roll top band

Hard to find steel buckles hardware. A fully functioning strap holds the boot secure at the ankle.

Olive colour strap gusset.

Some more spec’s:
- Vegetable tan cow hides, carefully selected from an American tannery.
- Exclusive leather treatment and coloring process. Hides are not dip-dyed but “painted”. Flesh side is natural, skin side treated with 3 colours coating.
- Guaranteed to age and beautify with wear. The black leather will fade with tones of dark brown/chocolate/olive.
- All solid leather double sole, made of high quality dense and sturdy leather.
- Each pair is cobbler made by hand in the USA, in a small shoemaker work shop established in the 1960′s.
- Authentic New Old Stock “Cat’s Paw” rubber heels.

Next pair on the list are BUCO’s or Lone Wolf engineers….
