      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…..

                                Really loving these and I think they may be my favorite boot of all time. Also, burlap roughout is now my favorite leather. Hard as nails, goes with everything, and I think you will agree ages beautifully.

                                The midsole is finally starting to give so I don't have as much heel slippage/

                                See pics a few posts back for some mods I had Wesco do. I'm sure before too long, I'm gonna need a heel replacement as these are heels are starting to breakdown somewhat. I will likely ask wesco to revert back to the original heel that IH had these made with as I prefer the longer look of the stack…IMHO it does look more balanced than what I have modified it to.

                                This is 8months and I've been wearing them pretty much everyday.

                                      @marlin ; I find the stacked heel in your boots takes their nice looks to another level. Congrats.

                                      The journey is the objective.

                                          A word to the wise.  I specced these boots to have a really thin rubber heel, my aim was to make the whole profile better looking.  Unfortunately, the downside is that the rubber wears out pretty quickly. Form over function - mea culpa….

                                            hands down my favorite boot since I purchased these last year.

                                            Let me just say as someone who had the heel replace with a thicker one, I very much prefer the look of the thinner heel….as in when my current thicker heel gets swapped out, I will ask Wesco to use the thinner heel because I like the look that much better.

                                            That heel makes me miss the way mine used to look... 😢

                                            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.
