I'm considering selling a pair of size 9.5 black Road Champs engineer boots from Mister Freedom. No box, no bag but boots in good, lightly used condition (with a little bit of black color that comes off from the strap every time I put them on - not sure what that's about). Consistently sold out, the brown versions on the MF site show a $949 list price (but they are described as "sold out"). MF indicates that new boots will be released in 2022 but you can have this used pair right now.

I'd like $650 net to me (you pay fees and shipping).

If you are interested DM me and I'll send pics.

How's the size 9.5 compare to Brannock size? I'm size 9.5D Brannock. Are the boots horsehide? I had a chance to visit the MF store last month and they were gracious enough to show me the Road Champ prototype boots for 2022 in brown HH. They were amazing! The production boots are supposed to be even better, if they ever get released.

I really don't feel qualified to speak to sizing or to contrast these boots to the current offering which I have not seen. I bought them used after trying a few different sizes. I too am a 9.5D as measured on the Bannock device. These fit fine but they are a little wide (which is my experience with all the engineer boots I have tried). I also have a pair of Lofgren boots (the horsehide "Devil's Causeway" boot from Standard & Strange) in a size 9.5 but I'm not sure you can conclude that these run "true-to-size" based on that limited sample. These are not horsehide (and if the new version is a horsehide model for $950 forget about these and order a pair of those).

Thanks for the reply on sizing. I’m afraid these might be too big. I have the JL Devil’s Causeway in size 9 and they fit well. Just hope I can score a pair of the 2022 Road Champs when they are available. Have a nice evening.

And expanding the description a bit, I believe that the uppers are vegetable tanned cow hide from Horween. Leather is quite soft, "supple" even (which to some people might be a bit funny seeing as these are engineer boots...).
