Imo, I can survive most of 3 seasons on my 705. The 430 is good for most everything except extremely icy conditions. The 100F on my work boots will definitely handle anything you could want it to

Those are fantastic!  What are they?  I'm a Wesco noob.

[jdl1279]

Custom fit is totally worth waiting for imo

They look like custom Boss in burgundy or maybe brown domain, on double midsoles with the Vibram #100 outsole. It may be the bump toe last rather than the standard Boss last. The major custom mod appear to be no instep or shaft straps. They do look very nice indeed.

Couple of on foot pics of my custom Boss ordered through IHUK.

And some early patina on the brass buckles @Giles  supplies.

Steel toed Boss's without straps, in their standard brown, can't remember the name, vibram 100 sole, I think.

[neph93]

Ah… steel toed. That explains the bump. Lovely.

Forget the Question, I thought nephs Boots had Steel Toes

Beautiful!  Thanks for letting me know!

I’m at 10.5 weeks (not that I’m counting) for my custom Jobmasters with packer upper stitching. Shouldn’t be too much longer.

A beaut of a shot….

Wabi Sabi to the timber door is very nice too!

[tvenuto]

I am personally not counting. I think it’s easier if I don’t know and maybe just pretend it never happened.

I got the opportunity to try on a Wesco 7400 with the MP toe in my regular size and found it was okay around the toe/mid section but way too spacious at the heel even with thick socks and a thicker insole (though it did get a bit tight around the front). Lots of heel slip, far more than I would feel comfortable walking with. I guess I'll be sizing down and up in width after all, but I'm looking to do a Foot Patrol which doesn't even have a heel counter so I don't know. For anyone that has tried on both a FP and an engineer, does the heel counter affect the sizing at all?

[jdl1279]

Azan, my suggestion would be to pony up the one time for a custom fit. It really is worth the single $100 investment and you're not going to really wait any longer than you would for any other custom build.

I’m really starting to think my wife is on to something. She had stated several times ‘ I think you have a problem! ‘ after having to ‘collect my collection ‘ I think she possibly might be right.
Does anyone else have this problem?
The last pic is of the engineer I received and posted about a few months back. They are coming along nicely. Love this thread and obviously love me some Wesco. I wonder if they actually sponser goons like myself..

[jdl1279]

I see 0 problems here

The horsehide on the S&S collab pair on the right looks really good in photos, wish something like that was more widely available.
