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

            Think this might be first, unless otherwise convinced. Gotta sort some better buckles though…

                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.

                      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.

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

                                    My newest Boss's in the Domain leather were like butter right out of the box - but my packers in the heavier standard brown (fudge) leather took a couple of weeks of daily wear to submit.  But high-quality boots that fit right, no matter the brand, are pretty damn easy to like - my White's and Viberg's included.  I prefer a good pair of boots to wearing sneakers ANY DAY.

                                      I will also concur with the rest, my boss's required zero break-in and yet weirdly enough, still don't feel broken in, just solid and comfy. I haven't put on a better pair of shoes in my life.  🙂

                                        My wife (as of 12/13/14) had me wear my Wesco Boss's with my suit so I could be taller than her for the wedding photos.  I never thought to wear them with a suit but I think they looked pretty good.  Here's one of the demo shots we got from the photographer:
