first time I'm seeing a video of unboxing a Role club. its a holy grail of engineer boots and tis video is rare.. thank you sir for sharing with us. hope to have one for myself one day also.
I'm doing a review soon on IG. Believe the hype. Brian is as good as they come, and my Role Club Engineers are by FAR my most complimented boot. In a word… commanding? They monopolize the conversation, and I literally have people stopping me in the street and asking me about them. A worthwhile investment, in my opinion 🙌
Wow‼️I’m drooling. You are a very lucky guy🍀. I want a pair of Underdogs in the worst way. I’m saving but I have a way to go. I wish you would have tried them on. Brian is a master craftsman and his boots 🥾 are works of art. 👍☮️🌞🌟🥾❤️
Sharp pair of Engineer boots. Great leather color and I like the leather soles with it as well. I'm sure the leather soles help to lighten it up a touch.
Thanks dude! I know, I’d love to add more dynamic shots to my videos I’m just usually doing this late at night so it’s hard to get good lighting anywhere other than my work bench! I hope to have more time during the day to make more elaborate videos as my kids get older
@@trinityhandmade3864 right on I get that. I’m just happy to see new boot vids honestly I like the table top style you do. Just seeing them on would be cool. You don’t need to do a whole new style vid for it. I posted in another vid also we wear the same size. Where do you if you do sell stuff you don’t wear anymore?
Yeah I get it. I’m thinking I need to do an update on a lot of the boots I’ve posted, initial fit impressions are always a bit skewed for me. Unless they are obviously small I tend to be so stoked on the new boot that I’m blinded by how they truly fit. It usually takes a few days of wear for me to really determine how they fit. I’d be worried about misleading people. Regarding the selling I responded to that comment on the grant stone video
Lol finally someone says a price. It’s was like a secret society thing until now. Will they come for you? The 1950 is not insane esp because there is two guys at that shop as far as I can tell. I would just personally not drop a G for a rush. But if you got it and want to that’s fine. Supporting a small maker that does cool shit is a bonus. That Brian kid seems genuinely like a nice guy.
Brian the boot maker is top class but I think he is milking it a bit with these prices.. I got a quote for monkey boots about 2 years ago. 1100 for the boots 1 year wait time and 250 a year to store the lasts... Fair play to him but it's too much money 💚
@@trinityhandmade3864 I have paid 799 e in Europe for White's boots, and i find that that is expensive, but 3000 dollars?! He He, that fucker really charge for his shit over the every top. But, ok, he is surrounded with a lot of quasi celebrities, so why not. Only what i find insulting is, that he show to the world his poor workshop, fucked up old machines, and clearly he make a shit ton of money. "There's a sucker born every minute"
Thanks for making this video. Role club unboxings are a rarity. Hopefully you will do a full review of these, dying to see how they fit. I’m still waiting for mine. Expected to receive them next year 🥴. Been waiting almost two already.
@@djhungzilla Haha, the whole operation is only Brian and his Mentor. With high demand, naturally the process is only taking longer by the month. I've grown about as much as I'm gonna grow anyway lol. I can only hope I don't grow an extra toe while I wait🤣
Nice boots man. Can't wait for the full review video. Brian does make amazing boots but I do not like the way he increase the prices. I heard those boots used to be around $1k, 2 or 3 years ago but now they're whooping over $2000.
Haha sorry! They are a little tight. I’ll update soon I promise. I try to avoid any sort of editing so that’s why I don’t add on foot shots. I can barely produce these videos they way they are with how busy my life is right now.
@@trinityhandmade3864 Totally understandable. That said, thank you for posting what you do! Of course it’s easy for people like me to demand more - WE don’t have to put in the time time or effort to do the work! 😁 But again, your work is certainly appreciated on my end.
Hah for sure! Fair enough. Eventually I was craving more content about this stuff so that’s why I just started doing it myself! Maybe you’ll get there one day too! I appreciate the views for sure and the constructive comments, much appreciated Brother
Nope, I still don't understand why these cost $2k unless it was made from a truly bespoke last with all saddle stitching, which it isn't. At 4:19 the backstay isn't cut perfectly. Aesthetically, I don't like the sloped last, wide waist and toe track. Structurally, I think Brian's method of making a holdfast and lasting process is inferior to many makers. The lasting should have smoothed out a lot of stretch marks so I'm not sure why there is so much break in the new boot.
I think a lot of what you just said is subjective. He can and does modify lasts quite a bit depending on the uniqueness and measurements of your feet. Even at $2,000 it would be silly to assume a bespoke last. Have you priced bespoke dress shoes outside of good values like China. A bespoke engineer would be like 5-6k You can also choose a different last 2307 if you don’t like this 1940 last and the toe track is an option you choose. I like how it looks so I went with it. Neither of those are a comment on the quality or value of these boots. The grain thing is subjective too, with horsebutt I never mind grain, I don’t mind seeing it. Lasting it a little tighter may have smoothed it out more but we talked and I preferred to have the vamp with a little less tension. Which I’m glad because I could barely get past the pass through the vamp was so tight the first few wears. At only about $800 more than John Lofgrens you get a hand made vs factory made boot. A better pattern IMO. The lofgren last is a shapeless blob they were so boring to look at on foot, idk if you’ve owned them like I have. And you get the bonus of completely choosing the details of the entire makeup. Well worth the markup in my subjective opinion when you compare them to something like John Lofgren. I appreciate your comments Alan and look forward to a mature discussion. Cheers buddy
@@trinityhandmade3864What is this subjective, objective nonsense? I feel like you're strawmanning an argument that doesn't exist. You seem deeply triggered by my comments about the cost but you seem to forget that these prices are arbitrary. Atelier Buck, Westerly or Kreosote can accomplish a bespoke boot in the same price range. There is real science in Podiatry journals on how harmful slope lasts are without arch support and seeing how wide that waist is, I assume there isn't any arch support. My opinions on the leather cuts, lasting and holdfast making are undeniable. You can watch his videos and delude yourself but Brian's techniques are middle of the pack. His skiving technique is a dead giveaway.
It’s supply and demand and Brian can barely keep up with the demand so he must price accordingly. I hope your UA-cam revenue from this video will cover the cost of these boots.
Yeah a little bit of grain break but not actual loose grain. Loose grain is a separation of layers and that’s not what’s happening here, just some unsightly marks but honestly after wearing them for a while now you really can’t see that stuff at all.

Glad I could give you this insight!

These are so cool. I want a pair now. BTB is such an artist!
Wow love Brian's videos and I think this is the first time I've ever seen his boots unboxed/ hopefully reviewed. Thanks!
Thank you!

Thank you 🙏🏼 I feel very lucky as well. Hopefully you get those underdogs
@@trinityhandmade3864 Thanks. Me too but I’m probably going with Flame Panda from China🇨🇳 . They cost a LOT less and are awesome. 👍🥾
Love my RC Engineer boots. And just got a pair of Underdogs also. Hard to wear anything else once you get used to these.
Amen brother
So glad you got the leather sole and not their RC half sole. i despise the look of half soles on boots, especially boots with tall heels like these.
Thanks man! The leather sole is where it’s at for sure.
Sharp pair of Engineer boots. Great leather color and I like the leather soles with it as well. I'm sure the leather soles help to lighten it up a touch.
They definitely lighten them up! Thank you for watching
Brother, these are INCREDIBLE! Hearty congrats 🙌🏽
🙌🏼🙌🏼
These things are so amazing!
Thank you!
I hope you'll post a review on how it fits. Thanks
I will!
Those are amazing! Congrats only thing I wish you’d throw at the end,just putting them on. Like one sec impression arch support etc.
Thanks dude! I know, I’d love to add more dynamic shots to my videos I’m just usually doing this late at night so it’s hard to get good lighting anywhere other than my work bench! I hope to have more time during the day to make more elaborate videos as my kids get older

These are beautiful
Thanks homie!
Haven’t even watched the video yet but I know they’re gonna be beautiful
Haha thanks man!
Can't wait to see more of these...
Thanks bud! I’ll
Update soon
Beauts!!! Got to know the cost on these, it seems so mysterious that there are no prices anywhere for Brian's boots on the web.
$1950 + $1000 rush fee, big money definitely not for everyone.
Lol finally someone says a price. It’s was like a secret society thing until now. Will they come for you? The 1950 is not insane esp because there is two guys at that shop as far as I can tell.

@@darrenwall5439 I think the John Lofgren boots are the creme de la creme and better value plus less wait time.

Wait wtf it's a 3 year lead time? What if your foot measurements have changed?
@@djhungzilla Haha, the whole operation is only Brian and his Mentor. With high demand, naturally the process is only taking longer by the month. I've grown about as much as I'm gonna grow anyway lol. I can only hope I don't grow an extra toe while I wait🤣
@@djhungzilla If your size changes, tell Brian when you order that you want to measure your foot & send him a tracing before he starts. 👍
Lead time should only be about a year and a half actually. Not sure why Misa is up to 3 years that seems off
2 1/2 years wait here
Nice boots man. Can't wait for the full review video.
Brian does make amazing boots but I do not like the way he increase the prices. I heard those boots used to be around $1k, 2 or 3 years ago but now they're whooping over $2000.
So they're basically 4X Benzein? That's a hell no from me lol
Will update with a full review after some time in them for sure
WTF? That's a lot of money
Definitely not my style, but I can appreciate good craftsmanship and the look very well made.
Thank you! I’m glad you can see that!
Very cool!
Thank you
Wow!
so u paid double for the boots for the rush?
Too steep of a price increase imo. Nice boots though. The price change finally kill my intention to order these
Yup not for everyone
When rush production is 2 months, yikes! They do look really nice though.
Thank you
You can’t leave us hanging - how did they fit? 🙂
I want to see them tried on.
Haha sorry! They are a little tight. I’ll update soon I promise. I try to avoid any sort of editing so that’s why I don’t add on foot shots. I can barely produce these videos they way they are with how busy my life is right now.

$1950

Sorry they were a tight fit, hopefully that’s because of the break-in process otherwise yikes!!
They fit well, slightly had to stretch them but Brian took care of it.
I like nicks
Nicks are cool
Those 2:05 & 3:08 is definitely a loose grain. Such as shame for a beautiful boot
Yeah a little bit of grain break but not actual loose grain. Loose grain is a separation of layers and that’s not what’s happening here, just some unsightly marks but honestly after wearing them for a while now you really can’t see that stuff at all.
How did they fit length-wise out of the box?
