The sole profile and craftsmanship on these great looking Engineer Boots, to me, have Takeshi Okuyama's name all over it. It turns out; however, that pretty much all Japanese Coblers who specialize in working with Engineer Boots have the same style (although, not with Takeshi's attention to deail) - only if we had someone with the same skills locally.
The only thing that would make these boots perfect is a lower profile, non-celastic toe box. Otherwise, these boots kick butt.

The craftmanship and materials look really awesome, but i really agree with you on the toe profile.
ReplyDeleteThey just look too chunky when worn.
