      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.

                  All clear now?

                      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.

                          Definitely… My Vibergs were snug width-wise at first, but fit like sneakers after a month or so...

                            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.

                                Worn in anger for the first time today together with my new 555N. So a bit snug from the balls of my feet right up to my, uhm, balls.

                                They're going to be great.

                                  Great look though! I like engineers paired with a slightly smaller hem as well. Hate it when people buy amazing boots and then they're being swallowed by a gigantic hem and too long an inseam.

                                    Yup. Although I'm generally guilty of having too long an inseam. Both my 666's are off to the seamstress tomorrow to get them Wesco-ready.

                                    Also, thanks for the kind words [emoji4]

                                            @riffblaster general Size for size, White's should be larger than Wesco, so a 9E Wesco is likely too short.  I wear 9.5D in Wesco, 8.5 in White's Swing Last, 9 in Vibergs.
