WESCO

[nicecrackaction]

thanks guys After all, what's the use of customizing them, if they end up looking everybody elses boots. However, eventually I'll start looking again for another, a bit more traditional pair for riding.

actually i was going with two straps myself.  I find the extra straps keep the jeans from attempting to ride up.  more grip around the calve and they look hardcore-er

@nicecrackaction:

Wesco Engineer rough out with motorcycle toe, heel one lift down and Vibram 100R. the three buckles also help to keep the pants from riding up.

Wow just took a look at how good it looks with three straps, pretty amazing!  how do you find the one lift lower in the heel?

I was going to go with double midsole, vibram 705 and one lift lower in heel but not exactly sure how that'll look or feel

[demonito]

god damn mother fucker i wanna see that pair you got. but watch out for the fire leather they are son of a bitches man i swear to you. you will form callouses like no other boot can

[hajduk]

what is the essential difference between the black tie and black fire leather from Wesco?

[demonito]

weight. heavy leather fire proof and fucking hard to break in super wearing mine for 1  year and still fucking stiff

black tie  soft and very gay leather

[injunjack]

I opted Fire leather because it's polishable…takes lot of elbow grease I hear but it's doable. And doesn't look so "oily" if I have understood correctly...

[demonito]

yeah they dont look oily right but theyre not much of a difference than the regular oil leather.  wesco oil leather takes polish good too! dont need no extra elbow grease really

[hajduk]

thanks guys!

[injunjack]

Ok, that's good to know. Thanks Ed.
