      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"?

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

              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...

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

                    A customer is a customer, regardless of their own errrm…...fetishes. I dare say that there are some people right here on this forum involved in some stuff that others may find a little weird, I know I am  😉

                      Haha when I first got into Wesco I had some pretty funny google image searches. To each his own!

                          Some of those fetish sites are full of really good information.  Those guys have been wearing and caring for boots for a looong time.  Gotta respect that.

                            I'm always cautious when googling images of Wesco boots at work, a collegue might be standing behind me and you never know what strange ideas he or she'd be getting about me! Lol

                              Lol. Had a similar experience when searching for "foosball" vids back in the day (10yrs or so ago) on Limewire(haha). Apparently "foosball" is some code word in the homosexual fetish community. All vids showed up with FOOSBALL in the title followed by something else quite odd and then finished up with "twink" lol

                                    Is there an insole? If so, you can take it out for the break-in period. Pete at Wesco suggested this when I was breaking in my Wesco Boss boots and it was helpful. Once the leather starts softening up, you can add the insole back.

                                          @bubbapest email Wesco and they might be able to help you out. I sent my MP Bosses back to have the toes stretched and they also softened up some of the stitching which was hurting my foot on the vamp. They are really helpful to deal with.
