It is time for me get new boots and I am concidering engineer boots again.
The did not care fo the last brand I had.
I have tried on some other brands that didn't fit me right.
I am looking at Double H (6102) and Chippewa (97863).

Is one better than the other?

I have had a Double H brand boot before so I sure the fit would be ok.
I have no experience with Chippewa brand.

Opinions and Comments?

 

Hmm interested in this too...

 

Many year fan of Double H, but even they are not like what they were 20 years ago. When I was in college, if you rubbed them up good in mink oil, they were water proof. I've been doing the same to my recent boots and they wick water inside really quick.

 

Why not get something waterproof? This spring I bought a pair of waterproof, 6", lace up, Georgia work boots that are great on the bike and also good for hiking/walking. Maybe not as Harleyesque as engineer boots but super comfortable and I can use them for other things. They're available in 8" height also.

 

The Double H's are nice, I may go for Chippewas "Rally" boot when I buy next time.

i am not a fan of the engineer boot look, but i really need something that slips on and off, i pack my work shoes in a bag and now have lace up boots, kind of a pain in the a** lacing them up every time to switch shoes going to work, leaving work and at times for lunch too. i saw the chippewas engineer boots and they looked nice and like quality boots. i used to wear just my work shoes but a bad right ankle leaves me concerned of dumping the bike if it gives out. so i'm at the point where function outweighs form.

i would give the chippewas a shot, they're good boots.

 

Wolverine boots, I wear every day 50% of the time is pull on style, I also have a pair of Red Wings, great boot once broken in and you have to spend the extra money for sole insert.

 

I have been wearing Carolina logger boots. They are comfortable to walk in too.

 

I've had these Chippewa boots for the last 3-4 years now... great boots. The quality is obvious when you hold them compared to many other boots. Very comfortable and solid with a Vibram non-skid sole. I wear them all day even when not riding, plus they look good. I wear them a lot, it's my most used footwear, and they still look and feel great.

 

I have a pair of Chippewa Engineers for about 17 years. Love 'em but they're heavy as hell. After a full day of riding and walking around, it feels great to take them off.
Recently I bought a pair of Corcoran Jump boots with a lightweight sole. AMAZING.
