FS: Attractions Pioneer Engineer Lot 603 Black Grainy Shinki Horsehide Size 10.5 (fits 11.5)

These are incredible and I'm so bummed they are too big for me. Almost new Attractions Lot 603 Pioneer flat toed engineer boot in absolutely stunning honeycombed heavily grained black shinki horsehide. I wore them once or twice trying to convince myself they, but it wasn't meant to be. I can tell these flat vamps are going to roll like crazy. The original owner said he bought these directly from the owner of attractions via email. I have never seen this model in this leather for sale to the general public.

The leather is very thick and pretty stiff but should break in really nicely like most shinki does. One of the shafts does look to have a few very small separations in the grain in a few places, but this shouldn't affect the integrity of the boot, according to Attractions, but it is the reason why I have priced them so low. I'm including a shot of the heel so you can see how little they were worn. The (mostly sold out) version on Standard and Strange is priced at $1298 and I am pretty sure these were more originally.

Asking $840 shipped CONUS. International shipping is plausible but will be more expensive. Paypal ff or venmo. I've bought and sold on here dozens of times if references are needed.

Did you buy these an a gamble knowing they might be too big or is your foot a 10.5 brannock and these boots are larger than they're supposed to be? In what way are these too big and if it's that the boot size is mismarked, what size would you guess them to be?

Sizing different heritage boot brands in general can be very difficult as there vary in their sizing quite a bit.

I wasn’t sure about attractions sizing when I bought these but generally it is recommended to go down one full size from your brannock. Which would mean these should would be best for someone with an 11.5 us size.

The seller encouraged and assured me they would fit me because I have a very thick forefoot and my feet are a bit wide so I gambled on them and lost. I am generally am a 11 brannock and these are too big on me.
