      Go G go….what is the spec on the heels. It looks about the same height as my White's but shorter than my Wesco's.

        I'm pretty sure Giles specced them to be one layer lower than the standard Wesco heel, which would put them very close to the White's standard heel height.  Good eye, by the way.

          Giles has the eye…he did it. Wesco heels are quite a bit higher..I think more than one layer...

            @khaki8 Depends on the boot, some we left as standard height and some we lost a heel lift.

            The brown rough out and the brown smooth out both have 1 lift lower than normal.  These will be the first models we launch and they are a Wesco/Iron Heart collab.  The smooth out/rough out boss boot will be the third.

            We have experimented a lot more with some of the other builds, however, they are only one off samples and we will be listening to customer/retailer feedback when we are at BBB.

                            OK folks.

                            The Wescos are tumbling through the doors.

                            I will post pics, please remember:

                            1. These (in the main) are one-off samples we have had made for BBB & F'n'C.  They are subject to tweaking
                            2. We have purposefully experimented with a mixture of styles and leathers
                            3. Constructive criticism welcomed

                                      The creditcard holder normally is a practical thing, unfortunately we wanted to have the holder inside the boot, but the sample just came with the holder outside!!!
