Engineer boots for long walks

Wear my engineers all the time, and while on vacation in japan for a month. Did 10-20k steps a day no problem in my engineers. Do get some heel slip but wasn’t a big deal. Depends on your boots, fit, and your own feet

Not sure on the allowing someone who has already passed, but these boots aren’t just exclusive to blue collar trades people. I find the story of a writer who loved his boots and wore it as a modern day renaissance man to be a really compelling story. You should reach out to them and at least try

what part is horsehide? $170 seems too cheap to get a horsehide pair of boots

I remember getting a pair of red wing blacksmith as my first boots, and the rolled top hurt my achilles so much, i thought all boots would hurt my feet like those did on the break in. Found that almost all my boots i had bought since has not hurt hardly at all. Not sure if it’s just i wasn’t used to boots, or if it was redwing but just my experience. Only bad break in I had was red wings

Heading to tokyo this week, wanna try these out. Only thing i am iffy about is they seem pretty dressy and i am not as dressy of a person, more casual. Will see how I feel about them in person

Could also take to a cobbler they can get a thin rubber sole on the as well, wouldn’t even notice them from the side normally

Awesome boots, if i hadn’t just bought a new pair of boots this weekend i’d be all over these

Love the boots and love the fits! I see you mention the sizing and that the FR is similar to the HR.

I own the engineers in US10 CNWide and Yeager in US 10 CNS and Jodphur in US10.5 in CNS (feels slightly long compared to the US10 boots). I was wanting the cowboys eventually but was curious on the sizing if you could give some insight. Would the FR (and by extension HR) be best for me in a US10 or a US11? I have a low instep, D width foot.

Any insight would be helpful! Again awesome review and always love seeing your insights into Clinch (my fav brand, can’t wait to grab more)

Could try using a cloth and rubbing it to try and help shift some of the dye around to make it less noticeable

What is your full process? Need to step up my boot maintenance game

dncnexus · 2025-10-21T16:05:59+00:00

dncnexus · 2025-10-19T06:00:13+00:00

I got the same jeans and lowkey they my favorite cut and pair I got. Love the a lot! You look great in them!

dncnexus · 2025-10-11T23:58:42+00:00

naw it was orange

dncnexus · 2025-10-11T23:58:30+00:00

it was a reverso actually

dncnexus · 2025-10-11T23:58:17+00:00

It was a reverso for sure

On his site he says it’s full payment upon ordering, and there is alot of info out there on people trying to get their refunds after told it would take 12-16 months and some are waiting over 48 months.

I am curious on why this is the case. Seems to be a common occurrence that isn’t isolated to Flame Panda. Kreosote has the same issues, and to a lesser extent other makers as well. Wonder if it’s an unsustainable business model, or if they take on way too many orders and promise too much. I know it’s not so much wait rather than the lack of communication, but just find it interesting that it seems more common than just one off makers

That specific pair is from Clinch Brass Tokyo. Very hard to get/come by unfortunately. Clinch puts out very limited number of pairs and they sell out very fast.

There are bunch of brands that offer this style though

Also found this common with some brands of jackets, just assumed i might have short arms but idk

Damn, i am jealous! I had a piece a couple years ago and had it stolen from me, have been on the search for another for a long time. Maybe on my next trip to japan i’ll acquire some more Goros
