            Nice custom build here:
            IHWE-WB build, but with Vibram 269 sole and in Brown Domain rather than Burgandy.

                  I'd put dark tan wax polish on the midsoles and heels, leave for a few hours, buff and repeat if necessary…

                      Consider Fiebing's Edge Dressing, too.  It's what a lot of bootmakers use.  It's fairly cheap and widely available, though it might be a bit harder for you (you're Canadian, right?).

                            @Stuart.T re. our short discussion on the RW thread, here are some examples of Wesco Boss/Morrisons with either lowered logger heels or Christy soles, taken from Wesco Japan's IG feed. You should check out Wesco's boot builder tool for custom options, https://www.wescoboots.com/builder/MensCustomBoot.aspx?id=Boss although fair warning, it's a rabbit hole…

                            Yes I know we frown upon quoting pics and yes I'm a mod but THAT is the heel height I want right there in the last pic.  I want the IHTB-BOBRN with that heel height.  This is possible correct @Giles?

                              That is a double midsole with a lowered heel and #705 outer sole. Doable with a custom build fo sho.

                              And quoting pics is fine if there’s a point to it [emoji1417]

                                I guess my real question is…to make that happen do I need to initiate a whole new custom order and spec it just to the IHTB-BOBRN with a shorter heel or can we take an existing pair that's in stock and make the heel shorter?  I have no clue how this works...obviously.

                                  Double mid sole….what does that mean again?  I'm such a boot noob!  😃

                                    That would be it’s own custom order. When you lower the heel that much the whole balance of the boot changes and you need to base it on a different last.

                                      Ok that makes sense.

                                        Double layer of leather in the midsole. Compare the IHWE-5 or burlap shorties to the other boots.

                                          Gotcha.  I believe I've read a double mid sole is harder to break in?  Is that true?

                                            I love the profile and look of that boot in the last pic.  That's what I'm after.
