      Haha, I went this route for the inevitable evo. Eventually that just turns black anyhow

      Yeah, I know. I really need to adjust my attitude to indigo stains on tanned leather. Don't give a fig about oil/mud/grass stains on denim. But I baby my leather… Wtf is that about? [emoji23]

        Yep…everything I own gets worn for everything I do...period. Hell, these will likely be breaking in alongside my SII. So they'll see maximum transfer. Just knuckle up and realize that's what we spend the money for

                    Would have thought they'd take more color with that kinda abuse. I expect the veg will a bit more, once I finally get the stiff feckin uppers  broke in

                        They'll be in my hands in a week as long as customs don't fuck me. Which they are totally going to do.

                        Amazingly customs have not fucked me! The boots will be in my home town a day before I am and I'm only paying $20 more in excess taxes. I don't know what you guys wrote on the shipping pro forma at IHUK, but thank you.

                                    Ever tried to unpack a pair of Wesco's your dying to get your hands on, quietly while everyone is sleeping? Tough job, but I did it. Now to quietly introduce them to everyday life without anyone noticing. Dark Arts.

                                    Review and fit pics to follow, but here's a serious fit question: Is a bit of pinch in the width and in-step on a brand new pair normal? Otherwise there is no heel slip and I can wiggle my toes.

                                          Yep, mine were a touch snug, not enough to hurt mind you, but with a couple days of wear have loosened up perfectly. The upper and double mids are still quite stiff yet, but the fit is spot on

                                            Thank you gentlemen. They do not hurt, just pinch, so I think I'm good.
