      Thanks Giles!  I read through some earlier threads about the narrow last, so I think it will work out just fine!

                    To me, that looks like a hole from an errant needle/missed stitch. Thus, not normal at all. It is small, but would likely bother me since water can get in the boot there. I am imterested to see other takes on it, but to me, it is clearly a defect

                      I don't think your boots are defective.  I looked at my Wescos and saw similar marks.

                      First, check closely and see if it's a hole- on one of my boots, it was only a small indentation, not an actual puncture.  If it looks deep, reach inside the boot and see if you can feel anything underneath.  These are lined, so even if the hole goes through the outer layer of leather, it may not go through the liner.

                      Second, try and pull the quarter (the upper part with the eyelets) away from the vamp (the part covering the toe) and try to get a better look.  That hole may actually be where the stitching binds the layers, even though it's significantly offset from the visible stitching.  That's what I found on my other boot that had a hole like yours.

                      Either way, I think you can safely enjoy your boots for years to come.

                      Oh, and you might want to reach out to @Dylansboss#2, who would be able to give the most authoritative answer…

                        This may sound like a cop out, it's not meant to be.  These are hand made boots that will not effect the longevity one single iota.  Learn to embrace these tiny imperfections as evidence of a hand made custom item.

                            I’ve seen boots on the Wesco’s seconds page with similarly irrelevant aesthetic imperfections for a tiny fraction of the price. Wesco is very nice that way.

                            Bottom line though: They are sure to be good solid boots so if you can find happiness in them than there is no problem.

                              Thnx!  I´m here as a customer. These are my first Wesco boots. I was a noob on Wesco´s products.

                                    Dylansboss#2 thanks for taking the time and giving me the reassuring info. I apreciate it.

                                    F.W.I.W :  I was forced to ( I will spare you the details..) take a ± 12 miles walk with the new boots today and the boots felt very comfortable! Love´em!
