If you like or are keen on engineers, look no further. The Zerrows Type One engineers tick so many boxes. We want back and forth on the design with Zerrows to come to what we think is such a great all rounder in a lovely silhouette. They are made on Zerrows flat toe last. This really is a lovely silhouette, almond/ rounded toe with good width and not much taper, slim and very curvy in the waist with quite a high arch (almost White’s like) 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. They are easier on than some pull ons but harder than others. The shaft is slim for tighter hems as well but with enough width at the ankle to help ease them on for average width/ arched feet. Comfort: Immediate, the arch support feels great but not overbearing, the weight is mid weight for an engineer, good heft but not clunky at all and do not feel heavy when on as a well balanced pair of boots shouldn't. They are a comfortable pair of tall 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: Brown tea-core CXL from Horween. Along with the other colours it is one of the most popular leather we sell boots in and for a very good reason. It is a dense and oily pull up leather with great depth and character, quite pliable from the start and easy to break in. It is tea-core so will show lighter Brown tones in areas of wear with time and will age beautifully. You can always polish them Brown again if you prefer them to stay that way. 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.
