      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.

                                  i deserved that

                                  the pain was actually bearable this time, but i think its more of a factor of just beating the midsole to conform to my flat ol feet.  in the middle part of my foot, its raised and its just like daggers to my feet

                                    I was mainly kidding @bubbapest , but after years on SuFu and other forums it's amazing the amount of dudes who don't buy the right size and still complain about the fit  😛

                                        Glad to hear that was helpful. After you get them a little more broken in, you should be able to add the insole back without any issues. Those boots are tough at first, but they'll soften up in no time.

                                          Is it possible to get the JH Classic made on the MP Last and with a white christy crap sole?
                                          Maybe @Giles can help me?

                                            I will find out about the MP and JH.

                                            What I do know, is that because Wesco have taste, they do not use the white CrapChristy.  😃 😃

                                            But

                                            They do use the 1010 Armortred, which IMO is just about as bad…...

                                            They do do a Christy (#4014) in black
