    Yeah, I am pretty excited about it. I'm sad to send my boots away as they are my everyday one, but they will also swap out the heel sole so I am getting them ready for winter.

    Great build on this one G….just when I had convinced myself I was not a pull-on guy.

      @Dstauffer that MOD is going to make these look kickass!  I love short shaft engineer boots, and these would make an epic hybrid. Are you removing the side pull straps in the process?  That would also "slim" the overall aesthetic of the top of the boot.

        @Appfaff I am pretty sure the outside one will have to go as they will cut out part of the leather to allow for the strap to shrink the overall circumference of the top of the shaft. That is my main motivation for installing them…one of the few times I am choosing function over form in my attire 😃

        I am thinking they may look a bit weird with only one side strap, so its likely I'll just have them take both of them off. I just sent out to Chris at Wesco today so he should have them at the beginning of next week and seems to think the turn around time shouldn't be anything terribly long.

        I got my hands on some brown Cats Paw heel lifts (see pic below) which match the color of the front sole really well, so I am pretty stoked about this.

        I will definitely post some pics of the final product as I am thinking its gonna be pretty sick  😉

              That worked out well! Looking very nice…

                  Just got these back today and I am so happy with how they turned out. Wesco was super accommodating, polite, professional, and turned these around very quickly.

                  I'm really stoked to have these back and in rotation again…

                    Ker-boom! They look wonderful. I have to say I prefer the cat’s paw heel too. But I am a high heel kind of guy… (that came out wrong [emoji23]).

                      😃 me too and I am already a tall guy to begin with…I have to admit one of the appealing parts of this boot was the heel height (in addition to the toe shape).

                            I'm wearing mine with the default design. They fit fine within my IH denims. And although they did take about 20 days to begin to break in, they are very comfortable and totally in sync with the values and quality that make Iron Heart (or Wesco) the brand of choice. Well done and excellent choice Giles & team. And great work on the construction of this excellent boot.

                              What hem width does the pant need to wear such a boot?

                                I wear mine with my size 33 IH-666S-18 with a hem of 8.2", not sure I could go much smaller…..

                                    It’s going to be different from person to person given sizing and hemming, but I think you’ll be good with all IH cuts with the exception of the 777 and 555. I can wear my 11” Boss with my 555’s but only because the straps are a few inches further up the leg than they will be on these. The hem would come into conflict with the harness straps at 8” I think.

                                      Mine sit on the harness strap, but I'm fine with that…..

                                      EDIT:  Whoops I meant on my Boss boots not on these.....
