I love those too. Wescos are so sick! Why don't more of these rookie Engineer boots fans buy a pair of Wescos for $500-$600 for their first pair before dropping $800-$1000 on some crazy boots? I love my Wescos

Just scored a pair of 70's soft-toe Work America engineer boots on the Bay, and these awesome 50s Sears engineer boots:
size 7D, for the low, low price of 150 big ones!

I was thinking about those Sears boots as they are in my size, but I don't need them. I think they are 60's. Good job!

That Sears pair is actually from the late 60s at the absolute oldest. The plastic heel insert looks original and was used starting sometime in the late 60s or early 70s and then continuing for about a decade. The leather color on the inside also makes me think they may actually be from the 70s.
The leather used on Sears boots through the 1960s was typically brown on the inside, rather than black. That switched when they started using leather that was drum dyed sometime in the 70s. I say sometime for all of this because I can't quite tell when this starts from the catalog records I have seen, but I can't assure you they aren't from the 1950s or any time earlier than that. |
