@Bluegrass:

I love the extra long strap!  I know its a matter of taste, but personally I'm a fan….

Hell to the yes. I went the whole three inches on mine, definitely don't regret it [emoji38]

What's the difference between black leather and black tie domain leather?

@Americanaaa:

What's the difference between black leather and black tie domain leather?

The standard Wesco black, brown and red leather is thick, heavy and oil tanned. It is very water resistent, tough and doesn't take a shine.

The domain leathers (black tie, brown and burgundy) are a little lighter (but still heavy by all other standards) and dressier. They will shine up beautifully.

Looking at the seconds page again… Jebus help me...

Bummer most of them are already long gone.

[Seul]

So they don't update that page frequently?.. Maybe that's the silver lining…

[Dion]

Actually I meant the special deals of The Bootery:

Yeah, I should've known. Sorry for the confusion.

I need some opinions

I ordered a pair of custom boss boots through baker.

I chose double midsole and the brown halfsole. will this look too thick? I'm considering changing it to single midsole. anyone have a double midsole with the brown halfsoles on a pair of boss engineer boots? please share photos if you can

@neph93:

My custom Boss which @Giles kindly had photographed for me. They are currently in Gosport about to be shipped and I am drooling into my telephone as I write this…

Is that upper stitching brown or khaki?

[neph93]

Brown.  Fancy khaki on my next pair with brown oil tanned rough out.

@emceeQ:

Long wait, but I'm finally in some Wesco's…

what hardware option is this?

is it offered through wesco?

[Bluegrass]

Ha! Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one! I'm not a fan of double midsoles for myself - but I'm also 6'7" :).  Here are my Boss with single midsole, Vibram 100.  Hell, you really can't go wrong!

thanks for sharing.

is that wesco's standard heel?

how is their lowered block heel on the boss?

nice.

what hardware is that and is it offered through wesco?

[neph93]

It's the vintage brass roller buckle. Available via Giles and the Bootery.

Like Bluegrass says it's aesthetic opinion. I love double mids and wouldn't have Wesco's without them. The 705's are some of the thinnest vibrams available and I think they look great with double mid's. That precise combo is also a part of my next build.

[Bluegrass]

My heel is the standard curved boss heel, 1 lift lower.  I am a curved heel freak  - I much prefer it to a block heel.  But I would not get the 1 lift lower heel if I had a do-over - there's not enough difference to pay for imo - my burlap rough outs have the standard heel and I prefer it.  I'd rather pay for extra long instep straps!

F**k, I'm 6'7", what's an extra fraction of an inch gonna do??  Make me look tall??

@neph93
Your boots are great! No bullshitting around, just straight ahead boots. I like!!!

Thinkin about my next pair:
LTT
Boss Toe
Veggie Tan Leather (no Burlap)
Armortred Sole
8" - 9" height
Nothing fancy, standard brown upper stitching, brass eyes, white heavy stitching, natty midsoles…
