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

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.

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.

Witness the fitness. Sublime boots.

[Appfaff]

Can someone with these boots measure the total height of the heel for me? Trying to compare to my customs.

Thanks!

That's how they evolved so far…absolutly comfortable to wear...love them!

Delated the pic since it wasn't good. The two pics below show them better.
