Aviator Boots1
Very cool. One of the only brown field boots available that isn't around $1000. Maybe a little large - my foot measures exactly 11 inches and the size 11 has some slop even after I added thick felt inserts. They are comfortable though and I plan to wear them daily. For some reason, whoever is making these can't cut two boots the same height - the left boot is 1/2 an inch taller than the right boot. I found the same problem on a pair of Magnoli Falcon boots that I got rid of, but those were a whole inch different. My OCD doesn't like that but it's bearable. The brown coating is much darker than the pictures and it's a little brittle - it started to flake off instantly in the creases and revealed the orange leather underneath so I tried to touch it up with some Fiebing's dark brown dye. The dye dissolved the coating on contact so I had to keep going and dye the entire pair. They look about 50 years old now, but that's ok. I also had a cobbler add some rubber pads for grip and to extend the life of the leather soles, and I threw away the ridiculous 60" laces. The lace holes do have metal grommets though and the boots are fully lined, not half. Good boots for the money, relatively...

I love these. They are so comfortable and easy to wear, I can wear them all day and feel no undue fatigue in my feet or legs. The perfect adjunct to any steampunk costume...

Just arrived today as promised. A great looking pair of boots. I look forward to wearing them.

I can not say enough good things about these boots. The price is unbeatable for the quality and the aesthetic is almost a perfect match for the Rocketeer boots. They're comfortable and fit very true to size, so snag some while you can...

Just received mine for use as part of my Rocketeer costume, and they're great. They look really good, fit perfectly (so it appears the sizing is correct), and appear to be well made. The only thing I wish is for the lace holes to have eyelets, but that wasn't a surprise, you can see that detail clearly in the photos. Very pleased!..

I have always wanted a pair of these types of boots but couldn\'t really fund anything that jumped out at me......they have to because it is very challenging to wear these out in public. I liked the shape and height so I tried a pair......sooooo glad I did. The sizing was perfect, the leather and construction very nice and mostly, they just looked really good worn on the outside of your pants. I was breaking them in doing yard work and my wife stopped me saying how cool they looked and not to ruin them. Really good for a costume or just for everyday wear.
It..
