Description
Description
The John Lofgren Combat Boots are John’s take on the military combat boot. They are a great seller within the range for a good reason, they are an easy fitting and comfortably refined tank of a boot that will stylishly see you through a mix of uses and uniforms.
The last used is based on the engineer last and is very shapely, has a nice slim waist with a rounded shaped toe, it feels snug throughout the foot (as it should be when sized correctly) with plenty toe wiggle room.
Comfort: These are extremely comfortable boots from the moment you slide your foot in. They have that immediate glove like feel. The leather feels thick but very supple and the heel is well balanced giving you a sure footed work boot like feel underfoot.
Construction & finish: The best materials and construction methods have been used in these boots, just see the DETAILS tab. The stitching is very neat and uniform and as with all John Lofgren boots the sole trim is even and nicely finished.
If you want a boot that is comfortable and solid, will last you donkeys and that you can pair with almost anything, this is your pair.

Sizing information
Sizing information

Due to the more pliable leather they do feel softer immediately than the engineers but stay with the same size. An 8 in the Combat Boots fits similar to: JL Engineer: 8 JL M43: 8.5 (8 is comparable in length but closer fitting than the CB) JL Donkey Puncher: 7.5 JL Chukka: 8.5 (8 is more comparable in length but these fit very close/ tighter) Red Wing: 8.5-9 US (7.5-8 UK) Viberg: 7.5-8 (2030 and 2045 last) White's Boots: 7.5-8 D or E width Truman Boots (updated last): 8 Trickers (and majority of British brands): 7.5-8 G/F Please get in touch with any sizing questions you may have. We will do our best to assist you in as much depth as we can to get your sizing right.

So, please contact us to discuss any sizing details or queries and refer to any relevant sizing charts before placing an order.
UK Returns:
- Please contact us letting us know you wish to return an item.
- Items must be unworn, all tags and associated packaging attached and in the condition you received them. PLEASE TRY SHOES & BOOTS ON ON A CARPETED SURFACE to keep the sole in new condition. We do understand the need to try on boots for a short time to assess the fit but creased leather or signs of longer wear will not be deemed as being in brand new condition and as you received them.

NON UK Returns:
- Please use a shipping service of your choice. We recommend insuring the item. We potentially can arrange return shipping depending on your country so please get in touch to find out the cost.
- If returning items from outside of the UK it is important that you mark the items as a RETURNED ORDER/ GOODS.
- Please also declare the value at no more than £50 (or the equivalent in your country’s currency). If you do not do this, we will end up paying taxes and duties on the item for a second time around which will have to be deducted from your refund. Please do insure the parcel for the full value as the item is your responsibility until we receive it back.
- All other conditions are as for the UK.
- Upon receipt of returned items, we will issue a full refund for the amount paid for the items only or give an exchange or credit as required.
Exchanges:
Please follow the same steps as for refunds with the exception of:
- Please inform us by email that you wish to exchange for a different size/ item and if in stock we will reserve your exchange item for you or alternatively order your size/ item in especially for you (subject to availability).
- The exchange item will be sent out to you with free Shipping within the UK and at a discounted rate for EU and International customers. Please note that only the first exchange item will be sent out with free/ discounted shipping. Any subsequent exchanges will incur normal shipping charges, which will be payable prior to the item being shipped. We will contact you with shipping costs.
- EU EXCHANGES: Unfortunately we cannot cover the import fees (VAT/ Any duty) for the exchanged import to the EU. We cannot recoup the costs of the initial import and so therefore it would mean too much of a loss for a small business like ours. We will make it very clear on the exchange paperwork that it is an exchange and be as helpful on the paperwork as it allows so that the fee’s are kept to a minimum.
The returns policy of East West Apparel does not affect your statutory rights.












Size conversion information
We use the brands/ makers sizing so the size you see listed is the size you will see on the item/ packaging you receive. Have a read below to get a better idea of sizes and get in touch using the "contact us about this product" link for further info. If you get in touch, please send us as much detail about what other brands you wear, the style, last, size, width and how it/ they fit in as much detail as possible.
Boots:
Ignore US to UK to EU typical conversions that you might know of/ assume, it doesn't really work in the real world as most of the brands we stock list their products in US sizes but on the whole they fit quite similar to standard (whatever that is) UK sizes. Instead, take a look at each products "Size guide" for more detail and get in touch as requested above with some detail about what you currently wear or have experience of.
Clothing & Accessories:
If you are a "Medium" or size "34" waist" in a brand or piece of clothing you wear it doesn't mean you are going to be the same in an item we stock. All makers grade their sizing differently and there can be a world of difference between the same size from two different brands. Please check the measurements chart and measuring guide (link in the footer) and ideally measure a similar item of yours that fits you well and compare those measurements to the item you are interested in using the measurement chart on the product page. With bottoms in particular, a lower front and/ or back rise will make a big difference to the thigh width, as an example.
