WESCO

@Chris:

Based the smooth one on that pair you bought a while back, didn't you?

It's got that same sort of Japanese vibe to it…

The Japanese "vibe" is taken strictly from America. Sometimes they market our look better than we do.

Giles, they are perfect…I actually really want a pair of Wesco Packers even though I have the Jobmaster toe model already! Unfortunately I can't justify it at the moment!

[superfuzz]

Hey Giles, would it be possible to get an overhead view of the different toe options: MP, Jobmaster, Packer, to see how they compare? That's something that I've always thought was lacking on Wesco's website.

^Empty Garage has overhead shots; you'll have to sift through specific pairs to find which toe you're looking for but they're good for reference: http://emptygarage.jp/SHOP/372981/list.html

Perhaps, but the pair he bought was built specifically for the Japanese market.

I will when I can…

I've definitely seen such a pic floating around online.

[Giles]

In the mean-time….And the Western-toe is what the Packer gets as standard.....And the Jobmasater effectively gets the Boss-toe as standard There are some subtle differences, primarily the Boss is a little more bulbous and often referred to as a bubble toe....

[Jordan23]

The Boss-Toe for me.

[Giles]

I'm an MP fan…...

[Max Power]

Boss is my favorite, too.

[Chiba J.]

These MP Packer look really nice. (sorry if such a boot-toe combo has been posted recently, I haven't been following)

MP toe all day long for me.

What's the deal with leather/boot fetishes and wesco?  Searched youtube just to see if anything would come up and…. damn...

What did you expect would happen when you searched for "leather/boot fetishes"?

[Snowy]

I'd managed to forget about that specific fetish, oh well.

@Chiba:

you don't even have to google for "fetish" at all. Wesco alone is enough. They have some kind of strong presence in the gay and/or leather community.

for example: if I search for "Wesco boots Deutschland" to find out about a local retailer, these 2 shops are the first result in Google:

hahah… that picture captures it perfectly.

And ish, not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, I actually only searched wesco.  The first video I chose just happened to harbor an unpleasant surprise...

[grandmasterben]

It's actually kind of funny though… I wonder how wesco feels about it.
