WESCO

A really cool Cat and blog reader of mine gifted me these MP toes just out of the blue. He recommended I swap out the factory buckles and so I did just that with my custom roller buckles.
-
Hehe! Not a bad idea.
-
Yeah, the gentleman wore 'em just enough for nice wear and tear to develop. They're the smooth leather. Contemplating having the Okuyama sole treatment, but kinda like them as-is.
-
I'm sending my Boss boots back to WESCO to have the toes stretched to make them a bit higher, the MP toe box is just too tight on my big toes when I wear the boots with the insoles from WESCO. They fit fine when I wear them without insoles. So sending them back for stretching, hopefully that will do the trick.

Inspired by Davito's recent pics of his Lone Wolf engineers, I just ordered a custom pair of brown roughout Boss boots.
Specs:
All brown roughout
10" height
unlined
standard Boss toe (soft toe box)
single midsole with natural edges
Vibram 430 sole
standard heel height
instep straps 2" longer
custom roller buckles (from VEB)With the $50 discount these were pretty reasonable. Now I just have to wait 4 months to get 'em. :-\

If i wear an 11 in Viberg 2030 last then what size would be my best bet in a Jobmaster with a D width??
-
Oh shit. I've not seen a pair of semi-lace to toe or roughout boots that have really done it for me but those are inspiring…almost everything about that pair works for me. I would only want them cut a little taller, maybe 7-8"

I don't know about Wesco sizing because I got the custom fit. But I think Demonito and others have said they are pretty true to size. G might know…

Hopefully someone knows around here lol. I know the peeps around here know their vibergs so hopefully some of them own both

Hey pillowpants as Blackheart she might know what u need about wesco.

Wesco runs pretty true to size, length and width. I only have stock boots but have never had a sizing
problem. -
After measuring my foot tracings and using the brannock device (both came to an 11E) I ordered my Wesco Jobmasters in that size. I am very happy with the fit. If I wanted a really snug fit I think a 10.5EE would have worked, but I didn't want to risk it and have to fight with boots these tough. The lace to toe allows for more control over the fit if its a little large, IMO and I have not experienced the toe rubbing that others have reported.
My feet are wide and round, most toe boxes feel too narrow for me. Wescos are the comfiest boots I've ever owned, not that my collection rivals some of the others here though.
I hope Wesco will have a booth at the Toronto Motorcycle show this year and I'll be able to get custom fitted by them there. Who knows!

Yessir, just not noticed before. Too busy drooling over bikes.
I haven't got a response on their attendance for the 2014 show. Definitely going to be going either way.
