I got these LLBean Katahdin Cordovan engineer boots about 12 months back but quickly realised they were too big. They're a US 12 W(ide) EE . I wore them out once and not far. Though they're now listed on LL's site at £161 (it was always in dollars) local tax/postage/import duty/handling fees etc pushes them well over £200.
I've just got a smaller pair, so these are up for grabs. The nearest you can get to buying these in the UK as far as I know is via JCrew under the manufacturing company's Chippewa name. They retail at £268.00 but they appear to be sold out and you don't get the wide option.
[The only difference is the top 3 holes are speed hooks as opposed to lace holes and the chippewa emboss.]
They've had one coat of the Obernaufs leather protection. This stuff gets raved about on garms/shoe forums and doesn't carry the mink burden. I can apply another coat on request.
I'd like £130 otherwise they go to ebay...
