IHWE-Build-3 - Iron Heart/Wesco® - 1930's Boss Boot

[samnz]

these look great, so tempted by the brown.

If i were to cave my 12.5D wild ones are great once on but getting them over my heel on and off is a fair amount of effort (the first few times i wore them i had to use plastic bags over my socks to get them on at all). Would you risk sizing up (or going to an E) to smooth the experience?

I went a half size up in these from the wild ones, 9.5D to 10D. These are a touch looser and definitely easier to get on. So I'd say, do the same if you're happy with the width.

[Segovia]

I did the same. Wild Ones are 10D, these are 10.5D. Vibergs still take a bit of work to get on/off while these are perfect.

[Bluegrass]

Ditto 1/2 size up from Viberg to Wesco - and I went with an E width in Wesco (me 12D Viberg, 12.5E Boss) and glad I did - they come off/on with just the right amount of effort.  Note that I have the Boss on the regular last, not the 30's which I "think" is a MP toe.  I have a pair of Wesco Packers in D and I think they are a just a bit narrow on me - and the D is great for me in Viberg.

How do i get a pair of these in 11 1/2 D or the black boss build
what is the wait.

[Giles]

Build time is about 12 weeks at present I m afraid.  PM me if you can bear to wait that long…..

I dunno but can you get it back? The first part looks bloody brilliant and I want to see the rest…

whatsoever the problem is … this pic is / the boots are - awesome!

@D97x7 Thank you very much. Looking brilliant. Seeing that brown domain all beaten up almost makes me regret going for the oil tanned on my custom pair.

Wow, they look amazing! Boots definitely look better after being used as intended.

I wear an 11.5 in Iron Rangers. Does anyone know if an 11.5 in this boot will fit? I see there is an 11.5 E available for order.

[neph93]

^ I have Wesco engineers with the same toe as these (mp) and RW moc toes. They are both 10.5D. The Wesco's fit a lot smaller in all directions.

Thanks Neph!

Finding myself keeping the black Road Champs in the closet most of the time and opting for Brown, chunkier boots. Figured I should shift the RCs and try and slip into these.  My 9.5E morrisons were too wide in the heel for me, so thinking a 9.5D would be perfect. Anyone that has these and the Road Champs attest to similar sizing when comparing the D width in these to the RC?

Thanks!

@Appfaff Have you tried a heel pad in your Morrisons?  I use a wool-felt heel pad in the right boot of my Wesco Packers and it really secures my heel.

I actually shifted them to someone who would get more enjoyment out of them.
