      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.

                          Here are some more pics for Bluegrass. I added the Wesco bee oil that came with them, which darkened them up a bit. Full specs:
                          Brown rough out
                          10" height
                          Vibram 430 sole
                          standard boss heel, natural edges
                          soft toes
                          custom roller buckles (ordered from VEB)

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

                                thanks man - really nice - I am digging the soft toes these days. These are beauties.

                                  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?
