Nice combo.  I see you're getting steel toes - you gonna use them for work?

If you're concerned at all about leaving marks on the floor where you're working, you may want to consider the 100R Vibram soles.

[jdl1279]

Thanks, but not an issue Clint

Gotta say that despite hearing that Wescos were tough to break in, mine are by far the easiest and most comfortable boots I own, and I did;t think that anything could top my beloved SD's.

Which ones did you go for Gav?

I'm toying about getting a pair in the coming months and currently leaning towards some engineers….

I knew you'd come around   FWIW, mine were a breeze to break in as well. My favorite footwear ever.

[Megatron1505]

Only problem being that all my other boots feel like shit in comparison.

[Cutlasshound]

There is something about the name Packer that the manchild in me finds truly hilarious….
