The veg will water spot if left untreated. Mine have a few spots, but I suspect they won't be noticeable with a clean. I can say that their veg tan is beautiful. It takes a soft buttery feel with some wear. Funny enough I want a Burlap RO Boss for my next pair

Thank you, sir.

If I go vegtan I think I'll oil them straight out of the box. Should help with repelling water, no?

I'm leaning heavily towards the burlap but there's a Japanese made pair of boss with the harness strap on IG that I can't stop staring at…

[jdl1279]

That's about as much as I've gotten and haven't really cared if they got wet

[neph93]

Oh cool. That's what I'd consider the totally acceptable result of using them. I was mire concerned about big ugly stains. Cheers dude.

[jdl1279]

You could oil or lp them straight away and that would likely reduce spotting. I've thought about a few other builds but there's a Burlap RO Boss that keeps hitting my feeds…is it bad that I'm talking about another build and currently have one due to complete this week?

Perfectly normal mate…I've had about 5 browser tabs open to the Wesco build page ever since I specced my first pair a year ago.

[jdl1279]

Yeah I think I've crashed the build-a-boot once or twice lol

This looks like the bump toe last to my untutored eye. Am I right?

[jdl1279]

Looks like it could be. This is the one I've been lusting after, with a few mods that is

[neph93]

Very nice. If I go burlap I'll have brown dyed soles and the #430 also. Seriously considering the harness straps though.

Do it! I think I'm gonna swap the outsole for the 700 and do a two tone with the shaft when I get to it. Of course the plan is to order through G for that sweet buckle upgrade too

[neph93]

Harness straps are going to look silly on the MP toe aren't they?

Not that bad

[neph93]

I saw that and agree they look badass. But that monster lug sole and the balls out top straps make it work, I think. Doing it in burlap or vegtan might be interesting but I'm not sure I'm that brave.

I've seen worse…I'm not big on harness boots though

[jdl1279]

A quick clean and a touch of LP took care of the water spots
