IHWE-FP2 - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 7" Brown Rough-Out Boot

[jdl1279]

May be just me, but I actually find them MORE of a necessity on a shorter 6-7" boot. Tends to be the area where a boot is most likely to pinch or bind on me, and is far less likely for me with hooks versus eyelets.

[Giles]

Hooks were a miscommunication between me and Chris@Wesco.  He is certain I asked for them, I am certain I did not.  But, we are where we are…..

Foot Patrols arrived today. @Giles and the guys at Wesco have made a ripper boot right here. The leather is super soft and they fit like a glove as soon as I put them on.

When Giles leaked the first shots of these, I knew I had to have a pair and the wait has been well and truly worth it.

Can't wait to put some miles on these! Anyone on the fence, don't hesitate.

How do they feel on the foot weight wise? @Hereforthebeer are they a 'heavy' boot or a light feeling all day wear around the city forever boot??

[Giles]

IMO Light

[Snowy]

That's great to hear. Now to figure out sizing

[Giles]

I am 9,5 in Viberg, 10 in Wesco….

[Snowy]

Yeah, am tempted to go 1/2 up on my Viberg. SO US9 to US9.5.

[Hereforthebeer]

@Snowy As far as weight goes mate, they feel lighter on my feet than what the IHVB 04 do, which I think you own as well.

In saying that, they are in no way lightweight as far as construction goes.  The leather seems to have a lot of give and sort of moulds to your foot… Super comfortable.

It feels like I had no "break in" sorness etc with these at all.  Along with my RMW , these would be the most comfortable fitting pair of boots from the start.

I'm the same size as Giles, and mine are a 10E. I have the IHWE B2 in a 10D and was originally after a "D" in the Foot Patrols as well. I 'm glad Giles talked me into the "E" as the FP is a more narrow fit.

And back to the "can you wear them around the city all day?"  I would say easily. I can wear mine all day with bugger all sorness at the end of it.
