Attractions Lot 269 Review

Intro

As some of you may know I am an avid fan of leather jackets and pretty much most things made of leather which also happens to include engineer boots. Arguably, the most “heritage-y” boot style in existence. There’s no doubt in my mind that this style of footwear is my favorite.

I have long desired a pair of Attractions along with others like Wesco, John Lofgren, Role Club, Clinch, etc and after viewing many of Jake’s (AlmostVintageStyle) reviews on this style of boot. I decided to add another grail boot to my collection this Christmas as a gift to myself this year. These are my newest acquisition, picked up via Brogue California; the Attractions Lot 269 Engineers and I have to say they’re fantastic—everything from the sleek silhouette of the last to the shiny finish of the leather gives these a slightly “dressy and elegant”presence as far as engineers go. They’re also fantastically comfortable right off the bat. I can’t wait to break these bad boys in.

Details via Attractions & Brogue California

Upper -Combination (veg/chrome) tanned steerhide with “glass/gloss” finish

Sole -Midsole: Oiled bends -Outsole: “BILTBUCKS” original separate sole and heel

Last -A008 Freeman Last -Slightly longer and sharper toe compared to A010 Specialty Last

Construction -Goodyear-welted construction method

Buckle -Original nickel-plated steel press buckle

Conclusion Overall, I’m very excited to break these in as I’ve heard that compared to their Lot 444 horsebutt counterpart, these roll a lot more and age quite differently, they are also shinier which also appealed to me as well. I couldn’t be happier with these, honestly.

Hope you all have a fantastic day and have fun keeping the heritage spirit alive!
