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

              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

                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?

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

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

                    what hardware option is this?

                    is it offered through wesco?

                      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.

                            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.

                              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??

                                Thinkin about my next pair:
                                LTT
                                Boss Toe

                                8" - 9" height
                                Nothing fancy, standard brown upper stitching, brass eyes, white heavy stitching, natty midsoles…

                                  That was definitely what I was going for. I love the fancy leathers as much as the next guy, but as these were my first custom order I wanted boots I could wear all year that would tackle everything and be worn with everything. So black oil-tanned was a no brainer given the wet/icy/salty conditions were I live. The double mids and heel lift me out of the crap.

                                  The only compromise in practical ruggedness was going for the 430 instead of the 100 sole. It was totally worth it, the 430 performs very well in snow, ice and over rough terrain.

                                  Here's a pic from this weekend:

                                  That build sounds real good. The vegtan from Wesco looks amazing especially with the boss toe. Saw this on IG a while ago:

                                          I think the Wescos feel better as designed with the curved heel and standard lifts.
