Please publish full specs. I need a pair…..
Not much more to add… custom fit (essentially a 12E), lace-to-toe option, 10" in height, with optional (custom build stuff) brown leather lining, black kevlar stitching on upper and sole, .5 inch lower heel, Vibram 430 sole, and I forgot to list I got the leather half slip (for additional arch support) in my original post. And they've already been treated with Obenauf's LP.
Glad you like them but I'm surprised you don't already have a pair or at least something very similar! I spec'ed nylon laces, but I think I'll try some leather laces to see if I like that better, but I'm feeling the nylon and I like the color contrast with the awesome brown leather! And these things seem to be the business - I bet you could put a stick of dynamite in one and it wouldn't blow! (Not really, but they are proven to be tough as hell!)
Now all I need to do is suck it up and order some "Fat Boy" 634's to pair them and my White's and 1000 Mile Wolverines with! Oh yeah, I need to pull the trigger on some Russell mocs as well! So much cool stuff and so little $!!!!!

Damn you, Rocket… Those Jobmasters are wonderful. I've never looked at WESCO before I saw your pair. Was gonna save up for some White's Cougars with the much dreaded Vibram wedge sole, but now I'm not so sure anymore.
Those look great too imo...
-
i would let those boots stay in my closet, with that sole & everything
-
Anyone have some break-in advice? My Jobmasters are some stiff sucka's! I realize wearing them will eventually do the trick but I guess I just want to speed-up the process… Thanks in advance for the help!
(I also made a new thread about this so if one or the other needs to be nuked, so be it!)

Just wear them Moonshine, that's how I broke in mine.
-
dang, those look bad ass.

Awesome Clint!

I've been playing the idea of wescos, and those look almost like I would've specced them.
Could you post specs for me please. and better pics.
Is that fire leather, 705 soles single modsole and normal heel? which last, and did you get them from Big Black Boots.
Oh Yeah, how's the sizing? did you get custom, or normal size?
Thanks

I originally ordered the black fire leather but the tannery backordered it so I decided to give the burgundy a shot and I'm pleasantly surprised. I ordered these directly from Wesco, specs are as follows:

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but those are hideous. Truly, truly awful. You should immediately get rid of them. I'll send you my address and you can mail them to me for proper disposal.
The fact that they are my size has nothing to do with my gracious offer…

Friday, I went with my RW size and you can also let them send you a free catalog / DVD info package

I'll be sure to get on that…
