      Just put an order in on the FS page for 8 inch packers (non jobmaster toe) in brown…Unfortunately I don't think I'll be keeping my Packer-Jobmaster toe's as they're a bit too tight after all. My new pair will be a half size up which should help; I was hopeful that breaking in my pair now would give some room but sometimes you just need to move on! Pics when they arrive, thank god for the free shipping right now!

        really liking that middle pair; what would be the configuration if I wanted to order that?

          I asked the same question on Instagram. They said it was a Packer with a round toe. Not sure exactly what that means. It doesn't look as bulbous as a Jobmaster toe. maybe G can help clear it up.

            I'm curious too - that one caught my eye as well.

            I also like this one on the Wesco-Japan website - says it's a 10" Packer with "bubble toe".  I assume bubble toe is the old 9109 Boss last, but not sure:

            They say this one is a packer with a boss toe:

              I'm completely new to Wesco, but man the shoe they make looks really amazing. I guess I need to start at page #1 and get reading.

                  Yes, I've been reading and looking long enough - I'm about to jump in.  I just can't decide what I want (a bunch of them) and unfortunately I don't really "need" any more boots  :'(.

                    None better than Wesco. You guys are in a Golden Age where Iron Heart and Wesco have teamed up.

                      You want to order it, let me know and I'll create a build.  I am making a pair for a customer ATM

                        Spotted on the Wesco seconds page. Presumably destined for Japan due the presence of the Wesco Japan Logo. Packer upper, Mp last, black tie domain, roughout tongue. Basically a Flightmaster reproduction.

                        This imo is a very dressy make up.

                            Top one.  Packer with standard #9109 last and toe cap

                            Bottom.  Jobmaster #9165 last.  It's an old boot as Wesco have not used that logo or that leather for an age

                                        I was lucky enough to pick up a pair of "packers" from the Wesco factory seconds. This is my first pair of Wesco's and I'm really impressed with them. I was a bit skeptical at first with this style of boot, but since they have arrived and I've been wearing them, they are really growing on me. 😃
