Here's an amazing pair where the buyer scored with his best offer.
Looking through my database of archived Vintage Engineer Boots, I couldn't find anything with characteristics matching these. The first thing that caught my attention were the cast upper buckles, reminiscent of those used on modern-day WESCO's. Then there's the mismatched instep buckles. Is this the victim of period modification or the skilled work of a lone craftsman? I'm not sure. I do know; however, that I'd have dropped this much money on them in a heart beat. In my opinion, these coulda easily fetched four figures.
