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

[FOXY]

Nice!

[Snowy]

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.

[Hereforthebeer]

And I'm a 9.5D in Vibergs.

[Snowy]

….and ordered!

Using http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/EsaImages/ContentPageImage/SizeChart.HTML for my sizing guide I went from US9.5D to US10E here. As a wide-foot, E sounds good.

Very excited. Looking forward to walking around the city all day in a pair, which is where my feet find themselves more often now.

[Snowy]

Thanks for the help @Hereforthebeer

[Hereforthebeer]

No dramas mate, hope they work out!

[Megatron1505]

Great pick up @Snowy , looking forward to reading your impressions of them. These are your first Wesco's right?

[Snowy]

@Megatron1505 yup, first Westco. @Winchy has been a good help in sizing. Imagine they'll ship tomorrow.

[Snowy]

I have plans for these to be 'the' shoe I take on holidays next. Fingers crossed.

[Snowy]

These boots are now 10KM's (6Miles) from my house at the UPS collection centre, prior to delivery attempt. It's Good Friday. so UPS is closed. Next time they are open is Tuesday next week, when they will be delivered to me at work. 4 days off, boots 10K's away, and can't do anything. Funny how these things go sometimes.

[Hereforthebeer]

That would do my head in mate, so close but yet so far away… I call covert Op into UPS collection centre.

[Giles]

Snowy has past form with Breaking & Entering.  I for one, would not bet against it…..

[Snowy]

Ha! I have broken into DHL's old building before. Am filling my weekend in other ways ::) (and will be calling them first thing tomorrow, just to confirm they meant closed all of easter, not just closed on easter friday)

[pillowPANTS]

Thats a good idea Snow. It would drive me nuts

[Snowy]

Got a human on the phone this morning….short of flying a plane load of cargo to the warehouse, it's closed.

@pillowPANTS yes, a little nuts and then some!
