        I think I saw those in the seconds list quite recently  😉

        Maybe so. Maybe not

                  Thanks, is this a Custom Option at Wesco or did you had it installed later ?

                    It’s certainly a custom option at Wesco.

                      I am not a big Fan of the normal "Flat Sole Style" because usually the Sole to Upper Ratio is a little of for my taste, I like thick soles on heavy Boots, the 2021 would be a nice Balance imho, here some bad Mockups I did a while Ago  😃

                        It’s really not my thing tbh. I do like the leather combo’s in those though.

                        Custom building Wescos is one of my favourite wastes of time.

                          Mine too 😃 I did a lot and I think i narrowed it down to these two for my next Order (not 100% Shure if I want to go with the "Two-Tone" again) with a 2021, a 700 or a 100 Vibram Sole, Choices, Choices.

                                I don’t know how much the climate varies in the course of a year where you are, but I let practical matters guide me in my choice of soles and leather, to an extent. My first pair were oil-tanned leather with the #425 for winter (which lasts five to six months for me). I would have gone with the #100 for max grip but it’s a little too gnarly for the MP toe in my opinion. #425 was the middle way.

                                I went for the #705 on my summer pair which are lightweight burlap.

                                I’m not a big fan of wedge soles at all and the ripples on the #2021 will wear out quickly in an urban environment. So you may want to consider that. Both the #100 and #700 are very hard wearing but are on opposite ends of the scale when it comes to profile and traction. The #100 are totally badass on JM’s though so if you wanted to go all out BOOT then I’d go for that with a double midsole.

                                  That is basicly the thought Process I had too and youre Right, if I want to get myself a Winter Boot I should go for the #100 on the JM and nothing else, the BOOT is born  😉 Thanks @neph93 always helpful.

                                    Do you mean #430 aka the "mini lug"? This reminds me, there's also the Vibram #2724 (or #435) "mini lug half sole" which, like the description suggests, is the love child of #430 and #705 and would probably be the best overall choice for fans of uninterrupted heel stacks and sleek looks, who also want their soles to perform when the going gets slippery.

                                      Sorry, you’re right I do mean the #430.

                                        Usually I prefer the uninterrupted Heel Stack, my RW Blacksmiths are at the moment at the Cobbler to get the Dr Sole Half Sole + Double Midsole Style done but on a Winter Boot I tend to prefer not to have the exposed Leather undernath the Boot.

                                          I can get behind that, half-soles look good and perform adequately for 3 seasons out of 4, but I wouldn't like to face the winter armed with half-sole boots only. #100 gets lots of stick for the looks but they perform (and I like the looks too).

                                            ^ With you  both on all that. Except that my half soles are good for 1.5/4 seasons[emoji849]

                                            On the right boot the #100 is fire.
