Vintage boots

[shamus]

What have you got in the way of good vintage boots?

Last year I had a pair made by west coast shoe company to be like the classic 40's-50's biker "engineer" boots. They're broken in now and look great. Can't wait to see what they look like in a few years.

I'll take a pic if anyone wants to see them.

here they are... a bit grass stained.. I just bushwacked the back and didn't get a chance to clean them up...

I went with brown.. you have to ask for it, low motorcycle cop front, and brass buckles. I wanted to copy a late 40's "James Dean" style. You can't find these new today unless you order them...

They're real nice Shamus- nice low toe. I have a pair of Tony Mora Engineers in black but now I can see the sense of the brown- nice colour!

Great boots, Shamus-I really like engineer boots, another classic US style-always fancied a pair myself, but I feel I should have a Harley or an Indian to go with them-they'd look silly on a mountain bike!

Nice, very nice.

just saw this pair on Ebay... Very similar to my new ones. But taller.
