      I don't understand why they were so much- using the Wesco website, that build looks like it would price out at around $450.  Are you not in the US?

        I think base price is 450 then every option or deviation from normal you add is extra. Custom fit is $100 custom buckles is like $25 or $35. Shipping $20. Black fire leathet fee, 10" height fee, lining fee, black stitching fee, etc… It adds up fast. They were really 840 but then shipping $20 and i bought a bottle of silicone protectant and extra insoles was another $20 so 880 total.

          It seems from what I've read wesco run pretty tts, have you all found this to be the case? Leaning in this direction for a black pair with mp toe… Just needing to find sone roller buckles and try to figure sizing out... Needing them to be pretty narrow across the upper to accommodate my low Instep, this is the one thing I don't like about my vibergs

          Hey Tatman, you might want to consider the custom fit option. It's an extra $100, but you send in measurements for your instep, so it should fit really well. I chose that option, and I should get my boots in about a month, so I'll post about how they fit once I get them.

            Awesome. I was considering that but my viberg "custom fit didn't turn out too custom.. I think guessing would have been just as accurate but I have done some reading about how wesco does this and it seems to be a truer custom fitting

              Custom fit worked awesome for me. I had heard some horror stories, but maybe they just didn't do it right. Wear some thick wool socks and keep ur pencil completely vertical. They send u a measuring tape- make sure ur measuremnt is from zero not the end of the tape. Everything should be fine

                I hope I did the custom fit right. I had my girlfriend check and recheck it and she's pretty meticulous, so hopefully it worked. I'll know in about a month…

                    It's kind of ridiculous that I'll finally get them in the middle of summer when it will be too hot to wear them here in NYC, but I should have them forever so I guess it's not that big a deal…

                                          I just got a pair of antiqued brass roller buckles from Vintage Engineer Boots blog. Now I just need another pair of engineers to put them on…

                                            Just got shipping confirmation from WESCO for my Boss boots. Now I just have to wait a week to get them. And then a few months before it's temperate enough to really wear them.
