WESCO

[Bluegrass]

@Engineer yours are what leather - at first i thought burgundy domain smooth, but they look more brown? in any case very handsome boots….

[Engineer]

@Bluegrass They're definitely burgundy - my photo doesn't show the color very well.

@4c Thank you!

@spitfiredealer:

They look nice. Do they have a big heel on them?

Thing that puts me off wesco is every pair I see has a big heel.

Erm…...

And any other Foot Patrol…..

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah the foot patrol doesn't have such a big heel. But when all you have worn is these

Even the heel on the foot patrol looks big.

[Giles]

Go this then…..

[spitfiredealer]

Ever put that sole on a foot patrol?

[den1mhead]

They are super fine @Engineer

@Engineer:

Pretty excited about these.  Better photos soon.

@spitfiredealer:

No, but it could be done as long as I don't have to open the box when they get here…....

[spitfiredealer]

LOL

@Giles

I have the black christy on a Packer, if that helps. The heel feels kinda low, if I ever send em in for a resole, I make sure to get a halfslip

Both heels/ soles side by side, its not that much difference, but walking in the packerised and lowered Jobmaster is much better.

Next boot will be Black Domain RO or Olive Smooth LTT Jobmaster with Amortred Sole including Halfslip or something Lets see when I have the funds…

Me too, like those!

[Black Orchid]

Not me … Really don't like those ^^

@JCMx800 what does the half-slip do? Just curious because I was planning on getting a pair of LTT Jobmasters with a black Christie sole and wasn't planning on getting a half-slip, but maybe I should…

This is a copy/paste review from Reddit/r/goodyearwelt:

INTRO: These were a 100% impulse buy, from a seller on eBay. I've been wanting a burgundy boot, a LTT boot, and a Wesco boot. These check all of those boxes, so it was a no-brainer. Instacop. There's a stamp inside the boot that says "Tedapes," or something like that. Whatever.

SIZING: These are a 9.5D. I am a 9.5D / 9E (L / R) on the brannock. I'd say these are TTS, albeit on a high-volume last, which accommodates thicker socks. I pulled out the provided full-length leather sockliners and replaced them with my own (slightly thicker) cushioned insoles. The leather sockliners are probably 4-5oz leather…nice. On my smaller foot, the extra 1/2 size in length isn't a problem - the LTT system keeps the foot from sliding around.

BUILD:

Model: Lace-to-toe Jobmaster
    Height: 6" or 7", rolled top
    Leather: All smoothout burgundy domain
    Lining: Unlined
    Toebox: Partially structured, I think. The toebox has structure, but you can easily push it in. Possibly canvas, leather or denim.
    Outsole: Vibram 430
    Midsole: Single, brown
    Heel: Cuban
    Eyelets: Black eyes & hooks
    Laces: Black Nylon
    Heavy Stitching: Black
    Light Stitching: Black
    Stitchdown Stitching: Black, 2 rows

If anyone's curious, these tip the scales at 2lb 8.5oz per boot…and they're unlined. These are my heaviest boots, edging out my Viberg Derby Boots by 3.5oz, which are lined.

OUTRO: Apocalypse capable Ronald McDonald boots with a feminine heel and that funny thing on the toe.

You will get a little bit more heel-height for better walking They are comfy as feck without, but they would feel more right with the Halfslip.

A half-slip seems to add a bit more shape/support to boots.
