Great profile on this pair. Too bad they are a larger size, which is why they sold for a reasonable price. In the size 8-10 range, these would have easily sold for upwards to $700 and beyond.
They ideal toe profile collectors strive to own, however, it's very important to know that unless these are at least a half size larger than ones normal size the toes will in fact "inflate." I think we all get caught up with photos depicting flattened, non-steel toe boots made popular by vintage biker photos from the 1930's-1950's, but unless you ride a bike all the time or your toes are a half to an inch away from the boot toe area it is difficult to maintain this desired look - I know this first hand as I've purchased at least three vintage pairs like this back in the late '90's. Something to consider before dropping your hard-earned money on that sweet pair of Vintage Engineer Boots.
