                  Yes, we have a little left, but you can only order the red lining in a red boot due to the thickness!

                  @Beerhammer:

                  @Chris:

                  Is red leather lining dead for good @Chris at Wesco? I noticed its not on the new builder…

                    Quick question for @Chris at Wesco: is "slate" leather available for a pair of Romeos? Not available on the virtual boot builder but I think it'd make a great looking shoe in roughout. Leaning between that color (if available) and burlap right now.

                      @hopsbreath Yes it is! We are currently making a pair for our Custom Fit fella. We just have to get it in as a special request right now. It should be there hopefully within the week!

                      @Authentic04 I must have slipped on responding to your sizing question. We generally recommend a half size down on the low heel round toe of our Jh Classic or our Robert William.

                          Jobmaster owners: Anyone have both lined and unlined Jobmasters? Or is there anyone with unlined that can share their opinions? I'm getting ready to build a pair and I'm considering getting them unlined to save some money. The pair I already own is lined, so I'm not sure how what the pros and cons are for unlined.

                          Thanks!

                            I've got both lined and unlined jobbies.  In the end, I don't personally feel that it makes that much of a difference.  I could see the advantages in a non-lace up boot to help them maintain their structure.  With lace-ups, I'd say you'd be fine either way and it would just come down to personal preference.  I've got a pair of rough out unlined Bosses and they tend to "slouch" a bit more than I'd prefer but it's no deal breaker to me.

                              Thanks! That's perfect. I was reading somewhere that for working in your boots, in a job that requires protection around your ankles and shins, lined are the way to go. But for whatever the heck I do at work, I don't really see the need.

                              Both my Wescos are lined (Boss and Jobmasters) so I suppose it's time to branch out a little 🙂

                              How's the comfort for day-today use? How's the break-in? Any difference there?

                                I'd say it's a quicker break-in with one or more less layers.  I spend 12+ hours a day in my steel toe unlined jobmasters for work and I don't have any issues whatsoever.  They're comfortable while being tough as nails.  I've been wearing the same jobmasters for the last ~5 years (with a rebuild about 6 months ago) where most guys I work with are lucky to get a year out of a pair of Red Wings or something similar.

                                        Well, probably the last thing I need is another pair of Boss boots but I just pre-ordered these:

                                        https://standardandstrange.com/collections/featured/products/van-cleef-engineer-boot-veg-tan

                                        This is a pretty amazing build and the veg tan leather should patina nicely with wear.

                                            +1 they're very cool, and will look even better once they start to patina!
