I'll take pics tomorrow - If I forget, please remind me…

Those Flightmasters are some of the most beautiful Wescos I've ever seen!

[Bluegrass]

Generally what makes the flightmaster unique/different vs. the jobmaster or packer?

[Giles]

In essence, all a flightmaster is, is a jobmaster with packer stitching….

[superfuzz]

Also the flightmaster has an MP toe.

Giles, as requested, I'm kindly reminding you it's the next day!

[Giles]

Yes, but you can have a MP toe on a Packer or a Jobmaster too….

Can anyone here help finding a cobbler/ shoemaker in Germany that can handle resoling of Wesco Boss boots?
I'm owning a pair of stock Boss boots with the vibram lug soles and want to replace them with thick leather soles,  like Brian the bootmaker does. All the cobblers I asked told me it's impossible. I rather think they are unwilling to do it because of the lots of labor involved in the task.

I could send them in to Brian,  but the shipping costs to USA are quite high,  and I'd prefer to have it done somewhere in Germany.

Is there a cobbler one of you can recommend?

[Arlo]

Saw these on the Wesco Japan blog. Quite like em.

[Giles]

Never mind…..

[aho]

Thanks Giles, much appreciated! Do you find the toe box wide or bulky at all? I'm used to a soft toe but might need the variation. They look great!

New boots inbound for delivery tomorrow. So stoked. Pics when I get them over the border

You might want to contact him:

He was recomended to me, but I didn't have the opportunity to try him yet.

[Andreas1965]

Thanks a lot!

[Giles]

OK folks.  I have got a couple of pairs of Flightmasters heavily customised Packers being sampled for me.  But as Chris@Wesco pointed out to me last night.  These are almost the same and the production run will be here in a couple of weeks…..

[superfuzz]

Wow! Beautiful. This new relationship with Wesco is freakin' awesome!

[Bluegrass]

Is that their regular brown rough out? 6" height?  Lovely.

[Giles]

Yes regular brown rough out - 7 inch….

[mahlon321]

Gotta say that I was not a fan of the Packer toe aesthetic, or rough out for that matter… but those brown rough out's above have changed my mind! I could get on board with those!!
