WESCO

Thanks @Dstauffer
I'm going to try to make it down for Div Rds x Wesco event on April 1, to boot geek out with the best of 'em
Interested in their upcoming ladies boots for my Girl's present and maybe something nice for me too, lol

Also iirc Div Rd and Viberg have a chucka boot colab in the works!

Cheers…

@Dishelveled have a blast man! I hope you find something for your lady. I got my wife into some RWs and she LOVES them, I can only imagine with would be the same with Wescos.

Please post some pics here if you remember.

@Dishelveled
Looking good! How'd you size on em? I quickly tried on some 9.5s (like, put one boot on one foot sitting down style), which is my Whites/RW/Truebalance size, and they felt pretty good, but I really didn't give them a test drive beyond that. Any sizing recommendations?

[Dishelveled]

@Bretro_  I went size 8 in these and the Packhorses–could have gone 8.5, but I prefer 'em snug.
I have more room in my size 8 Vibergs and Tricker's for comparison--I could NOT have sized up to an 8.5 in those.

Also, these PackRIDERS are thick  veg-tan leather and thus put more lateral pressure on the sides of my feet, where the leather is double layered ( I assume that'll ease when broken in–still brand spanken new) but much more noticable than the Domain rough outs.

Hope that helps you triangulate...

Heck yes!! Those are so awesome looking dude!  Thanks for posting up?

What toe is on your model? Looks beefier than the MP and even unconstructed boss toe I normally see.

If I'm not mistaken, that is what the Italians call a Toe de la Bump.

[Appfaff]

Hahaha I thought so, but just checking as it didn't look "too" bumped per say

They get like that when worn in I think. Any time a see a pair like this, I say to myself, "next time, bump toe". Then I stay MP anyway [emoji28]

[mahlon321]

That is the bump toe like the others have said. It definitely gets bump ier with wear.
I really dig the profile over the standard boss toe.

Great boots Mahlon

[mahlon321]

Thanks man!

[jdl1279]

Is that black oiltan and the 430 outsole?

[mahlon321]

Black oil tan and the 700 sole.

[jdl1279]

They look fantastic! I've been thinking about a Boss as a secondary work boot and yours is close to what I'd build

[jdl1279]

The longer I'm in these, the better they get

Thanks! They are great boots, I wish I would've had them when I was required to wear boots to work.
If I had to do the build again, I'd put a 430 sole on instead of the 700. It would make winter less terrifying…

[jdl1279]

I have the same issue with the 705. The 100 will grip anything though. So I'm interested to see where my current awaited build with the 430 lands

[mahlon321]

Hope it works out for you!

Much better than the 705/700, not as good as the 100. It does OK in ice, but compacted snow can be an issue. In collects under the sole in a way snow doesn't with the 100.
