      Wesco snobs. I like it!

        Couldn't you shape a counter in plastic or leather alike however you want though?

        Think it, be it.

          ^ Yep, but plastic is stronger and therefore is able to be made significantly thinner than leather while maintaining structural integrity.

              And when you heat it, you can form it into new shape…...So for instance if you are getting a load of heel slip in an engineer, you can heat the counter with a hair dryer and then squeeze the counter together, and it will have become a little tighter...

                The Stytherm in the heel looks thin due to the picture. It's a waterproof material used in the heels, so they  don't tend to sag like the all leather counters do over time:).

                      Yes, those are pretty damn cool!  If I didn't have 3 pairs of White's, 2 WESCO, 3 Viberg and 1 each of Road Champs and Red Wings…  😞

                      Having said that, all I can think of is what I DON'T have...

                                I could never pull them off, but that is a badass pair of boots!

                                  Why not?  Pants leg will cover most of the top, which will leave you with a mostly black boot.  And speaking from experience, green boots aren't as attention grabbing as you might think.

                                  Were I in the market for another pair of green boots, I'd go for the olive Foot Patrols, though…

                                    I'm not enough of a badass… but who knows maybe I could. The burlap olive looks amazing.
