Update: Now on eBay
I was just going through my belongings and came across a pair of super rare Vintage Engineer Boots that have I've worn only twice in the past two years - the rest of the time, I pretty much just admire them sitting in the corner. Since I purchased them close to four years ago, I would guess that they've been worn just a handful of times. In my twenty-three years of collecting Engineer Boots, this is the only pair I've seen outside of the original catalog excerpt.
Feeling a bit guilty that they've been neglected so long, I've decided to afford someone the opportunity to actually add more miles to 'em. I shot myself in the foot with the past two pairs of 1940's Chippewa's, so I learned my lesson and I'm not letting these go for cheap this time. Serious inquiries only, please.

No size found, but measures (approximately) just over 11 1/4" from heel to toe and 4 5/16" at the soles' widest points.

All original studs and jewels!
With flash to show how the material still reflects nice and bright
Very prominent toe tracks!

A few missing studs, but absolutely does not detract
Original half soles and heels. I added a piece of stick-on shoe gripper (boot on the left) to avoid any further loss of rubber from the sole. It comes off as easy as a sticker.
