      Superfuzz, thx for that. Any idea how the Jobmaster last compares to the Smokejumper and SD lasts? I have some softoe MP Boss so at least I know they'd fit, but if I could find a middle ground between dressy and workboot (ala a Semi Dress) I'd likely opt for that.

          Seawolf, do yo follow WESCO on instagram? They posted pics of that make up but with a perforated cap toe. I think my next pair of boots will be those without the cap toe. Gotta save up some money first!

            That's actually what I have planned.  I was happy to find out that Wesco will do this for no extra charge.  I've always had a weird hatred of that heel counter/vamp overlap.

                imo a simple 10 or 6 inch with 430 vibram, semi lace to toe , brass hooks and eyelets plus brown or green stitching would be… beautiful

                  Friday, I'm thinking about a build like that but 8" with Packer upper and that new brown leather. Hope to order this summer to get them for next fall.

                    8", packer style upper, Vibram 100 sole, regular toe, brass eyes & hooks, burlap leather.  Pretty ordinary, really, but i just wanted a simple boot that will take a beating and last forever.

                        Yup, after I saw it on your pair, it moved to the top of the list.

                            Just got off the phone with Chris at wesco; 7" MP toe Packer is no problem.

                            I'm in!! Well, there's the whole money thing to sort out first 🙂

                                Cheers bro! Think I'm sold.

                                Gonna send my MP engineers for a toe stretch; and will ask for a sample of that leather.

                                Will update you guys with my thoughts and pics when I get the sample

                                  Good idea! A stretch really helped my MP bosses.

                                      I can't really see your toes in that pic. What jacket is that?

                                        The jacket is a modified Aero Dustbowl. Leather jackets are my first true love, followed by boots

                                            forget the flattoe frenzy and buy bumptoes 😉

                                            Me thinks that people believe that ALL old engineer boots had flat toe, but they had soft "bump" toe that then during the use collapsed, creating "flat toe" which all who wear engineers because of the hype crave for.

                                            I might be wrong though….
