IHWE-PO - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 8" Rough-Out Burlap Pull-On Boot

[Giles]

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

Cool, thanks @Giles!

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.

[Giles]

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

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

Thanks @neph93!

Half decent restock

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.

[marlin]

Thanks @motojobobo, couldn't be happier with the boots!

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...

Yes @Giles, I‘am aware of that, but as as you and others have said, that‘s the beauty about this boots. I will see how long it last, but I‘am almost certain that I will stay with the thinn heel.

Thanks for the Feedback, @madmonday and @Appfaff!

I just put in a custom boot order to Wesco and have asked for a thinner heel a la this model because I feel it looks much better esthetically….nice call on this one G, it’s quite a beaut right out of the box!

Thought I'll make a quik head to head comparison. The Build 5 I have since 3 month, the TBWE-PO is worn only a week. Maybe this helps someone who is undecided which one to get?

With the grey card I tryed to get the colors as close as possible.
