      I'm not sure what I'm going to do either.  If they start getting marked up and ugly, I'll probably treat them with something to make the edges darker.

        Anyone else treat the natural edges on their Wescos?

          They just darken up with time so it's moot IMO.

            Seawolf, I didn't mean treating them to darken the edges, I was just wondering if the natural leather midsole needed some sort of treatment for protection from the elements.

              Not really.  Sole leather is tanned to be pretty weather resistant.  I've seen some recommendations to treat it the same as the rest of the boot, based on the theory that it's leather and needs care, too, but I've never seen the point myself.  I've never had any issues with midsoles failing, not have I seen any that aren't on utterly annihilated boots.

                  Whenever I'm giving my boot the obernauf treatment, leftoves; brush,cloth,etc. goes to the sole and laces.

                    Just got off the horn with Wesco and found out they will not be doing the motorcycle show in Toronto in 2014. Would not say why. Very, very disappointing.

                                  Thanks David. I'm super happy with them. They are way more comfortable than my MP toes Wescos for some reason.

                                      Anyone gone for the Cambrelle lining option? I'm curious if it performs as advertised and if it is worth it. Any info would be appreciated! 🙂

                                        14 weeks until my brown Boss MP toe's hit my feet. Ordered from Baker's. First pair of Wesco's for me.

                                            Thanks superfuzz, glad my White's SD can hold me for 14 weeks. I'm waiting to find out more from Wesco and or Bakers about their new brown which would make two to choose from. Also I'm about 50/50 on going with the greenish Khaki stitching which should blend well with aging. Looks great on leather jackets I've seen. What say you guys?
