Addict Boots - Black Steerhide Engineers 8D Made in Japan

[cbez]

Hello, listing these up to check for interest. These fit me pretty well, but I think I am realizing I am just a bigger fan of lace ups. They are made in Japan and the quality is excellent.

They are goodyear welted vibram 269, and made with a teacore NA steerhide uppers (likely horween), very thick and substantial. Practically no wear on them as you can see.

Fit wise, I find them similar to a viberg 7.5, white's 7.5 or your typical 8d. Their size guide says "Our last is low instep and slightly long. Width is D, but may fit even a width E." I personally like the length, as some lasts in 8 tend to look stubby.

I'm also attaching a patina pic from Addict so you can see how they will end up.

I'm asking $700 shipped in the US. International shipping PM me. Great chance to get some top tier japanese boots with no tax or tariff.

Thank you. I'm bummed cuz it was a long journey finding nice engineers that fit only to realize I am just reaching for my lace ups more often. Hopefully they will find a happy home and get the patina they deserve

would you mind elaborating on the fit.

any specifics? To me they fit like a typical 8D boot, which is my normal size. I size down half a size for viberg and pnw boots. The width and length are pretty accommodating.

Wondering about the instep if its on the tight or loose side compared to other engineers.

Hard for me to say since I have only tried a few pairs, neither have been very tight over my instep or hard to put on like some people describe. I'd say it feels neither tight or loose for my foot

potentially interested in 7.5 or 8 boots, especially shinki

They'd be killer with my Lost worlds trojan - https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/lost-worlds-trojan-black-horsehide-36-20-5-p2p.111880/

I'd give a deal on both for sure.
