{"product_id":"double-helix-detonator-702-engineer-boots-black-horsebutt-strip-leather","title":"Double Helix Detonator 702 Engineer Boots - Black Horsebutt strip leather","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe Double Helix Detonator engineers have a similar aesthetic to a square toe harness boot which has been slimmed down and made a touch more dressy, they are very well balanced boots, the generous last, sole thickness and trim and curved heel balance all work very well together visually and if you have average to wider\/ heavier feet and\/ or high arches they will be your dream engineers for easy to get on and a comfortable fit (check out the sizing info for more detail about the fit).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe leather: Often unheard of, Horsebutt strip leather is a very characterful section of Horsebutt (more towards the loins!). It is a very thick, heavy duty and soft\/ pliable part of the leather that has very subtle (on the engineers) but visible wave like stripes running through it. The leather is aniline dyed and will tea core with heavy wear. It is a lovely dry feeling leather that feels very robust but not stiff and will age with lots of character and lovely horse leather rolls. A great choice for a lifetime pair of boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere'e more on the fit of the boots in the size info but they are very shapely and very comfortable from the start. The last feels average in the heel, shapely in the waist and generous at the ball and toes with a good amount of volume over the ball and toes but still snug enough for average width\/ height feet to buckle snug at the back. Those with feet with more width\/ volume will get on very well with the fit. There is also a medium amount of arch support, plenty compared to Red Wing or many of the British makers but not as pronounced as White's for example. They feel very good on and feel slightly cushioned due to the own brand rubberised cork outer-sole (which is a hard wearing and grippy material). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThey are goodyear welted (so can be re-soled many a time) with a flat and very clean welt. The components are top notch, the stitching is uniform and clean, the trims are well balanced, the heel is shaped well and overall they are very well made and very nicely finished. They are also Horse leather lined in areas of friction and have a full leather insole with a leather half sole in the heel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIf you like the style then you'll love how they look and feel in person.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMade in Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Double Helix","offers":[{"title":"8 US","offer_id":58002732908928,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5 US","offer_id":58002732941696,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 US","offer_id":58002732974464,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5 US","offer_id":58002733007232,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 US","offer_id":58002733040000,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10.5 US","offer_id":58002733072768,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 US","offer_id":58002733105536,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"11.5 US","offer_id":58002733138304,"sku":null,"price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/8440\/9082\/files\/DoubleHelixDetonator702Engineers-BlackHorseStripe-1.jpg?v=1777543361","url":"https:\/\/eastwestapparel.co.uk\/products\/double-helix-detonator-702-engineer-boots-black-horsebutt-strip-leather","provider":"East West Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
