      You really ask?
      Well…
      First things first: not as heavy as expected, it´s a good thing!!! Construction is solid, leather feels and smells great, even the laces are next level. Welt stitching is ÜBER clean.

      About the fit: I was feckin nervous and paranoid, but it was easiest putting on/off ever and they dont hurt. E width is wonderful and the 8.5 length is prefect/roomy too.

      Top notch.

      Lets see how the leather soften up.

      The IH stamped leather insoles only come with IHxWE stock boots?

        They come with what I remember to ask for…..

          Doesn't WESCO usually have a curved heel (mine do, packers and boss)? JCM's look like they have a block heel.  I like it, but I don't recall seeing this as an option…  Congrats on your new boots.

                Custom? What are the specs? I've wanted a similar make up for awhile but with a black sole.

                Burlap and black sole is a good combo.

                    I think the heel is too low For the curve 🙂

                          @JCMx800 Great looking build. Is that a Jobmaster toe? My next pair of Wescos will be something similar but with standard heel height. Love it!

                            Thank you! You are right, its bump/bubble/Jobmaster toe or last 🙂 do it, packmasters are cool boots.
                            Next pair is in production, looking forward to wear the black tie domain.

                              That's good to know, but I think I'm queer for curved heels - never knew there was such a thing until I found out about White's and then WESCO!  😉  This is primarily Red Wing country - I stick out like a sore thumb.

                                  Looking good! Been meaning to post mine. I've had them for like 3 weeks what's taking me so long? Nearly identical build.

                                      My packmaster were cool with thinner socks, but pretty tight with REAL socks like my L&L socks. I picked em up from a cobbler right now, he stretched em and now they are ready to bust some sneakers.

                                        I had the opposite problem: mine were pretty long for my feet, so I had to tie them up real tight. After I ordered the boots, Wesco switched from Poron insoles to leather. I find leather insoles for boots to be uncomfortable after several hours of wear (high arches, flat last), so I popped in a Spenco insole and it made them fit better and feel more comfortable. Ugh I swear I'll get my pics up later today.

                                        Also, who's ordered a pair of the Romeos yet? I'm kind of digging them. Plus you can get them on the MP last! I can't find any images of people actually wearing them, so I can't decide if they'd look ridiculous on a foot.

                                        I'd love for Wesco to do a Chelsea boot tho. Giles, do you have secret intel that they're going to offer one at some point??
