The Zerrows lower round toe engineer boots are a great everyday pair of engineers. The last is a great shape, not bulky or too sleek or dressy and goes with everything and is very comfortable for most feet form the get go.
They are made on Zerrows lower round toe last. This really is a lovely silhouette, low rounded/ slightly squared toe with good width and not much taper, slim and very curvy in the waist with good arch support (not White’s like but on it’s way) and normal to slim in the heel. It is low profile across the lower foot but with enough height for your toes not to rub which gradually rises above the arch to make it easier to get them on. Yes, you heard it, an engineer boot with a low profile toe that has enough room in the arch to help the higher arched mammal. The shaft is slim for tighter hems as well but with enough width at the ankle to help ease them on.
Comfort: Immediate, the arch support feels great but not overbearing at all, the weight is mid to heavier for an engineer, good heft but not clunky at all. They are a comfortable pair of medium shaft boots, much better after break in as the sole and leather combination will make them feel a bit stiff until a few wears in.
The Leather: Dargres Leather is a heavy weight cowhide which is a bit more matt in colour depth than CXL for example but is also rich and ages beautifully with age. It has a nice subtle sheen and can be polished up and looked after or worn hard to reveal a more vintage look and feel to it. It is very pliable and easy to look after.
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, the heel well balanced and elegantly shaped and the sole trim is even and nicely done.
What’s more, they even come with extra leather insoles that you can add or remove to adjust the fit.
Made in Japan by people who really know what they are doing.
