Damn, yes it is. That block heel is sooooo nice. I need a summer boot in my arsenal. That may be it.

That Roughout Burlap is looking hella dope.

@Sam:

Also thanks to @neph93 for chipping in and answering questions on IG

Yeah, hope that's OK  It's a sign that my otaku ass needs to get out more

[Sam]

More than ok! @neph93

I've a Wesco sized windfall currently burning a hole in my pocket. These are on the cards (but so is the IHWE-05 and a theoretical custom Packer build). I have a couple of questions…

1. The thin rubber heel looks like it could be easily replaced by a high street cobbler when it wears through. Is this a correct assumption?

2. How do they look with narrow hemmed denim? I'm concerned the straps might be an issue in a pair of 555's.

[Chris]

Definitely yes for the first question.  Heel pads are quick and easy to replace, and it's generally about a $15-20 job.

No idea about the second question, sorry.

[neph93]

Thanks, Chris.

With regards to question 2, maybe @Sam  could test them out with a pair of 555's for me?

[Sam]

Hey @neph93

I'll do my best to get a shot of those today with some 555's i'm not wearing mine today but i think they might be a bit narrow for the pull ons. Unless you're fine with tucking them into the boots?

We've got a big delivery in today so i may not be able to get round to it today but i'll do my best

I will not be tucking them in. No rush at all but I'd like know. I'm afraid the pull up straps on the sides may disturb the sillouhette…

help, they are extant!
I'll never be able to resist forever!!

[georgeel]

I resisted 48 days! I'm getting better…

[georgeel]

Eh eh eh…

[georgeel]

They work fine with my 666s-19L, that are 7,5" on the hem (size W30L32)
Jeans of the 555 family of same size are about 7,0" (that I can't wear because of my proportionally huge calves) and I think they are too much tapered for boots like these.
BUT, if someone wearing, say, a size around 33-34, maybe he can go on even with 555!

[neph93]

^ brilliant!

And thanks for the info. I'm leaning more and more towards these as summer boots.

Looking great! Hoping to see some more pics of these in action.
