            I like those a lot.  That's pretty close to my perfect pair of Wescos, in fact.

                          Jordan - what's not to like?  Nice boots.

                          G - good call.  Really hard to pass up a deal like that.

                          I'm "lucky" (or unlucky) they don't have anything exciting in my size in the seconds.  I am still thinking hard about some custom packers with MP toe - the pic they have on their Facebook page. I just have so many boots I like wearing.  But no Wescos.  Yet.

                            WESCO is having a sale on their seconds.  10% off + free shipping in the U.S.  If you live outside of the U.S. I think you just have to pay the incremental costs in shipping.  Although they are stamped seconds on the inside of the boot shaft, I can't usually tell why.

                              G…those are the bomb.....getting almost the same thing but with mp toe and the new Seidel version of Chromexcel. The color of brown from Wesco is the nicest I've seen. I have some highliners in that brown...

                                Khaki, make sure to post some pics when you get yours. I'm thinking about getting a similar build. Interested to see that new brown leather.

                                    New Highliners. Stock model,  from Boot Werks Fort Lauderdale. Surprisingly comfortable out of the box.  Now I need Boss Boots.

                                    hi guys, sorry for quoting myself here.
                                    Has anyone tried to lower the heel in these boots. The boots themselves are da bomb, love 'em very much, but I can't get used to the heel's height. Thought of removing one lift plus have a thinner rubber heel installed. Would this alter the boot's fit too much?

                                        I see. But these were designed to climb on poles, which I'd guess almost no one here ever does. I need them to walk around. The heels might be just a tad too high. I can walk in them, but don't feel 100% comfortable.

                                          The whole boot has been designed so that everything does it's job in harmony with the other parts.  Change one bit and you're likely to mess with the balance feel of the boot.

                                            First off, I agree with Giles.  Messing around with a tested and proven design is a gamble.

                                            That said, Wesco will replace the heel with a lower version for $35.  A good local shoe repair place can probably do it for about the same price and you won't have to deal with shipping.  A heel change is pretty simple, so go ahead and give it a try.  If you realize it's a mistake, you can easily change it back. 😉
