WESCO

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. -
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.
Ask and it can be done…..
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. -
Heels with only one lift will always be sanded straight:)

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??
-
A Chelsea on the MP last would be nice.

3 1/2 month of wear in tridem.

Guess who finally located the special usb cable for the digital camera he rarely uses. That's right, me:
Tiny MP Packers! At this point they have a handful of wears. Details:
7" Packer
Black Domain
MP last
269 sole
Unlined
The rest is obviousShout out to Bretro_ for paving the way! BTW these (and I've noticed others) also have the black edge dye on the top of the midsole. I think they do it for boots in black leathers with natural midsoles now.
So these are great. I started out totally in love with Whites, but the more I looked at Wesco, the more the stuff I initially didn't like grew on me, like brown stitching on uppers for black boots, and white heavyweight stitching on uppers for Jobmasters. When I found the MP last I was sold. The domain leather feels great, I just hope it holds up well. I saw some old logo Jobmasters at the cobbler's in either regular black or the old Black Fire leather, and they were stiff and touch as hell. I think I'm gonna go with a standard black, lace to toe Jobmaster next. My feet will turn to mush in them in LA it will be so hot.

Those look great dude. (Besides the speed hooks anyway)
-
those look great as is & will look greater with wear. domain leather wears to show a brown core or is it black all the way through? what boots & denim are you wearing? they look sharp as well & the laces put them over the edge.
-
madmonday- Thanks man. The Domain is their pullup leather, but unlike CXL it's black all the way through, so it won't fade to brown. Jeans are Rogue Territory Stealth Stanton, and the brown boots are Dayton Parade boots with Vibram 100 soles.
bluegrass- Yeah, it's the regular MP last, which is the same as the 1339 but 1/2" lower. I've been meaning to confirm, but according to this: https://www.boot.com/bwfeatr2.htm#heels, all the lasts have a lower heeled (and therefor flatter arched) version, and when you order the heel a half inch lower, they switch lasts. That way the boot shaft doesn't lean way far back. If that's really the case, I'd love to see some boots on low heel Morrison or Packer lasts.
