IHWE-Build-5 - Iron Heart/Wesco 9" Brown Engineer Boot

@ROman:

I would like these in 11 E. Would that be possible. How wide is the E. Just curious. I have a wide foot.

Just my personal experience so don’t take it as gospel, but I’m an E fitting in just about every shoe and boot I’ve ever tried but with the Wesco MP toe I’m between a D and an E.

Sam,

When are you coming here?  We could make sure what size you are and then make….

G, As of now, I will be spending Christmas in Kew, but I will have to start planning another trip sooner. I'll let you know. Sam

this bulid has a leather insole with Iron Heart logo, does anybody know if it is a removable insole?

[neph93]

Have you tried taking it out?

@Bulatik85, how they feel, after some good use they should be hopefully comfy by now!

[Bulatik85]

Hi @marlin ,

Yes they are more comfy now, no blisters anymore 
I think that I didn't yet used them a lot, since I am not walking a lot  and I have to wear some more formal shoes during the work-week. But I am wearing them from time to time  ::)
I will try to make some pictures later…

This sounds much better…but was waiting for the pic.

For those who own these: If you had to guess, what would you say is a minimum leg opening you would want to have? My jeans generally have about a 7.25 to 7.5 inch leg opening.

I think you’re best talking about cuts rather than measurements as shaft width is relative to boot size as hem width is relative to tag size.

I can get the 555 cut over mine (jeans W34, boots 10.5D) I like the result, but it isn’t necessarily a look everyone embraces. If you can be bothered you can do a search under my forum name, with key words IH-555 and Wesco. It should throw up some pics.

One thing I will say, the slightly shorter shaft makes them better for slim tapered jeans than I thought it would. My 11” boots disturb the silhouette of the jeans more than these.

I find the 666 and 888 cuts are perfect for Engineers in general. Slim, fitted silhouette without the boots affecting the fall of the jean.

[Chad]

Great points and info, thanks @neph93

Looks great with the 888 so I think I'll be good.

[neph93]

My pleasure. Let us know how you get on.

Anyone care to chip in with their ¥0.02 worth, if I'm 8.5E in White's (SJ, SD) and Nick's (Robert and whatever the #2 toe last is called), would I go 8.5E or 9E in these?

I really shouldn't… But they are nice... The best dressed hobo in the shelter etc. etc...

[neph93]

I have neither of those brands I’m afraid. I can do RW and Viberg comparisons if that helps..

[Chris]

I'm the same size in White's Semi-Dress, Viberg 2030, and Wesco's standard Jobmaster (10D).  I don't have any experience with Red Wing, though.

I'd go 1/2 size up from your White's size.  I'm a 9.5 in the SD last and 10 in this Wesco last.

Some pictures of my boots.
Could someone advise if this boots are broken in already or not? Just looking to the pictures.

I didn't used them much yet due to weather conditions. When I walk a long distance I still can get blisters. So, I am wondering if they should adapt more or not. Any ideas?
