lol
i deserved that

the pain was actually bearable this time, but i think its more of a factor of just beating the midsole to conform to my flat ol feet.  in the middle part of my foot, its raised and its just like daggers to my feet

I was mainly kidding @bubbapest , but after years on SuFu and other forums it's amazing the amount of dudes who don't buy the right size and still complain about the fit

@bubbapest:

i removed the insole and it feels like 100% better-

Glad to hear that was helpful. After you get them a little more broken in, you should be able to add the insole back without any issues. Those boots are tough at first, but they'll soften up in no time.

Is it possible to get the JH Classic made on the MP Last and with a white christy crap sole?
Maybe @Giles can help me?

[Giles]

I will find out about the MP and JH.

What I do know, is that because Wesco have taste, they do not use the white CrapChristy. 

But

They do use the 1010 Armortred, which IMO is just about as bad…...

They do do a Christy (#4014) in black

[Giles]

And yes, we can do a JH on an MP with either sole option…

[Megatron1505]

Aesthetics aside I think that general opinion (i.e what I've read on the interwebz) is that the Armortred soles are much more hard wearing that the glorified sponge which is the Christy.

[dylantbmayes]

Black Christy is harder wearing than the white… True story.

[Bluegrass]

Seems like some of the Japanese bikers like the boss boot with 4014 and Armortred soles - seen a lot of pics and in many of them the soles are really worn down (perhaps because they've been worn hard, or they drag their feet some while riding which i do as well).  it is an "interesting" look. at first I really hated it and lately it is growing on me some.

this is the 4014.

[Bluegrass]

G - I read somewhere that the packer with MP toe (flightmaster) runs a 1/2 size small vs. boss or job master (in other words you should size up 1/2 on the flightmaster vs. your size in a boss/jobmaster) - do you find that to be true based on your experience?

[Giles]

Same length, a little different in the width.  So if you are 10EE in Boss, you would go 10E in MP…...

Once you go black…..

[Chris]

Don't do anything to them.  Just wear them…

Wesco's after a few miles of beach sand, hiking, and city sidewalks:

Gave em a good wipe down with a wet cloth and they're like brand new. Tough leather!

[trail and arrow]

these look great!
@aho

[Max Power]

Yes, indeed

[JCMx800]

@aho they look great!!!
I kinda like those:

Need something not so heavy as a sneaker-alternative

[trail and arrow]

bbbbbbbbbbbbuuut the sole?

cheers johannes!

[JCMx800]

I like em, nothing I would put on some winter- or workboots, but for a casual use they are cool
