Ed, how you gonna change the buckles?? Cut  leather and sew again?

Mystery toe…I assume it's not steel-toe?  Maybe it's some sort of firestormer/logger last or Motor Patrol..? just guessing here.

lovely boots there guys!…

[MastersOfDeath]

Lovely pair IJ, well worth the wait, the wooden midsole/heel look absolutely gorgeous.

These arrived yesterday (well each boot came separately a day apart, and even then it involved chasing the post van up the road in my car. I think the postie thought she was being robbed at first!):
from ebay, not sure of the specs, probably standard boss with narrow toe? please correct me if that 's wrong. size 10, I think.

[Seul]

Damn - looks massively nice worn!..

[injunjack]

Nice…
yup, I think that's std boss toe. Probably all std bosses. Nevertheless very nice. Suggestion; when they need resoleing, get rid of the "tractor" sole. 

This thread it on fire right now, Cool.

[Finn666]

thanks to you IJ for kicking it off
great shit MoD!…

side view of the mystery boot last
jack these has a non reinforced toebox but as you can see it stays its shape because of the leather.

[MastersOfDeath]

It certainly feels like Wesco Week….

Speaking of re-soling, I actually don't mind the Vibram 100 sole, but when they need doing I'd certainly entertain other options.

Where would one get a nice wood midsole and all that done? Wesco? For a basic resole I'd send them to William Lennon, but for fancy-shmancy? Any ideas chaps?

got o this guy no where else

Midsole on those isn't wood, it's leather…

[MastersOfDeath]

Thanks guys, yeah wood would be wubbish, stupid me;)

[nicecrackaction]

with IH-808

[Jordan23]

Yeah!

Ed

Why don't you ask Wesco directly which last they used..that beats me…

MoD, Sorry I didn't correct you earlier, though they look like wood when new, and are stiff as wood as well but they are leather, double midsole, dyed brown (tan). Basic option from Wesco.
As you're in States, I'd send my Wescos for rebuild to them...

[MastersOfDeath]

Cheers Jack,( I'm UK). Yeah it does look like wood and I think I saw some pics of someone carving a wooden heel somewhere, or I dreamt it….. The link ed gave me looks like great stuff but its JP....anyway plenty wear left and I've vibergs coming.... Mmmmmm

[injunjack]

umph, my bad…

Still, when they need resoling, I'd use Wesco. Tha jap guy is a true artist, but....he's in Japan...

I got a pair of Wescos as a custom build.  Big investment, huge fucking disappointment.
