WESCO

[davito]

IJ i fully understand what u mean and respect your opinion as from ur long experience as a biker. No disrespect intended. Just wanted to share that I am happy with my viberg engineers. I am not a biker but use em Hard in my everyday life especially walking Long distances in nature with my dog over dirt, grass, stone etc. I am feeling safe in them.
I am fully Open minded this is why I wrote I do not know wesco, which for sure have a great product.
Peace.

Davito, it's all love…

[demonito]

i have a viberg engineers also theyre less comfy than the wescos i can assure that

[astrogoji]

those look rugged as hell.  awesome–is that black fire leather?

thank you all for sharing your viewpoints.

[demonito]

these wescos on the picture im wearing are kindda weird i got these from factory seconds.
the leather on these are NOT black fire NOR black oil but a different breed. maybe its for their japan market cause it has these old school roller buckles and a bump toe last . and 2010 sole.

Just curious, what's the little patch supposed to be for? Just looks?

i think it´s some sort of "protection" when you´re riding your bike that the leather of your boots won´t tear as fast while shifting as it would if there was just one layer of leather!…

[injunjack]

Finns right. they're there to "protect" the boot. Totally unnecessary irl, unless your're ridong motocross or so…

[Chris]

Isn't it usually only on the left boot?  You don't need extra protection for the right, do you?

Some old school British bikes have a gear shift on the right side. My Altbergs have the reinforcement on both boots.

[demonito]

i think he has some old trumps too

injunjack: buddy yeah i know

[nicecrackaction]

yeah, it's called a gear shift patch.

Not "old school".  Just OLD…

i used to have a pair of black classic wesco boss boots and the creases in that area were the first to get soaked in prolongued rain. the burlap roughouts don't have that problem and resist hours in the snow or rain. 'sides, i obviously like the look and necessity is an odd thing to discuss in a forum mainly about 21oz+ 300$+ denim
