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.

^^ like that one with the toe cap..! Nice..

[Bluegrass]

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.

@SLAB:

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

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.

Custom Wesco Boss. Mp last, no toe reinforcement, double midsole, Vibram 705, triple stitched, black tie domain, nickle roller buckles direct from Wesco and 10" height. Oh, and I'm super fuc*ing stoked!!!!!!!!!!!

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

@AndyO those are an absolute bargain you got there dude. I especially love that engineer boots. Congrats and wear them in good health.

[Megatron1505]

@AndyO i struggled for which thread to respond to you in, but just to say that you have great taste and a hell of a boot collection, well played sir.

[AndyO]

Thnx for the input guy's.

Might get a group shot together in the next few days. I've bought a book case to store them all in.

Will (finally) check out the IHxWESCO boots next Saturday at Vater & Sohn Hamburg  ::)

[Finn666]

those boss's are dope! @AndyO

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.

[davito]

great boots, looking superb, kiltie love @Hereforthebeer

@AndyO thx for sharing pix your awesome boots. How is the fit on the engineer?

[aho]

Great hereforthebeer, I have the same pair coming!

[AndyO]

Nice boots, hereforthebeer. I know what you mean about being a little sceptical. Was it the heel height that had you in two minds? I was a tad concerned about that with mine. But the way the heel is shaped and flows with the shape of the boot, makes all the difference imo.

Yeah the fit is good davito. I was obviously a little nervous before hand but they are spot on. I must be lucky. Because I know what difficulty many people have in getting the correct fit in pull on boots.

Can I just take a moment to thank Chris @ Wesco for all his assistance and patience. His knowledge of the product and willingness to help was greatly appreciated. I've never come across any other company that offers such a great level customer service.

@aho:

Great hereforthebeer, I have the same pair coming!

Me too (same pair coming, or very similar)!  First time I have ever seen anything in my size that I wanted on the seconds page.  Actually these are 13D and I wear 12.5, but I am hoping it will work.
