Show us your boots

Gorgeous boots there Chiba J.

[Bluegrass]

Agree, Chiba those are really special.

@Chiba J. is it the same soft CXL as the engineers? It looks like it may be a bit firmer (how I think I can tell that is anyone's guess).

[Chiba J.]

I've never actually handled the CXL engineers, but I think this is the same stuff.

I think what you're seeing is just that this is a more complexly structured boot than the engineers and thus less prone to all the bending and creasing.

One thing you can't see in photos is the very nice deerskin lining.

[Bluegrass]

Well damn, please do share!! You are obviously dealing with a bunch of boot geeks in a "show us your boots" thread… 

[Chiba J.]

Was that directed at me? You mean you want to see the deer?

Apologies, I was wrong. It's horsehide lining, not deer.

[Bluegrass]

sure, if the lining is cool, and if it can be photographed,why not!?

White's, easily.  Viberg is a respectable second.  The Wescos are still new(ish) and untamed.  They'll never be as comfortable as the White's, even though they're getting better each time I wear them.  That's not a knock on Wesco, just a recognition that the choices I made in their construction will restrict them.

IHxVB Hikers:

Nice match up with the laces @FurattoHeddo .  I have to ask, do you change the laces to match the pants each time you wear them?    If so, I might have to do the same

random question- i have a female friend who needs a nice pair of winter-ish boots- anyone know of any good brands/examples of wescos that may look fantastic and feminine?

[4c]

First thing that comes to mind is the White’s lady packer.

[Bluegrass]

Google Wesco, and they show a women's line, "Van Spijker" I think.  Personally, the pieces I've seen are sort of gothic and scary to me, but perhaps they can be customized and toned down too.  I think.  Worth checking out.

I can get almost anything you can dream up, made.  Drop me a mail with size of said lady friend and what you are looking for…..

My jobmaster lace to toe age is only 1 month, so sad T_T
However, Itwas sent to rebuild in Scappoose and will be returned to me with my new 11" Wesco boss.

Why did you need to send them for a rebuild?

Insole's damaged by a spotting fire of welding.
