          Does anyone have suggestions for a rough out boot with a structured toe similar to RW Iron Ranger in style? I've tried the Lofgren service boot and while it is a beautiful boot, the to box isn't structured which makes it look more like a desert boot imo.any of the premium brands do something similar? I've had a browse and they all seem to have similar lasts.

          Any pointers very appreciated

            Ps @rocket nice shot of your pf flyers. They are comfortable shoes right? I still prefer them over cons 70s (and that they are owned by New Balance rather than Nike)

              They are not bad, but I think the Cons 70s are more comfy…

                  @rocket I was able to get a pair of made in USA pf flyers, and just as 70s are a step up from cons, made in USA are a step up from standard of flyers. The leather lining, heavier footbed, and thicker canvas make for a very superior trainer. If you can source a pair in your size is say go for it!

                      Have you looked at the Redwing Rover rough out boot? Don’t know if those have a structured toe though

                          @gaseousclay I wanted to try a step up from Red Wing level footwear. I've never had a problem with them, but having held boots by viberg and lofgren it is easy to see the merits of investing the extra money. Not something I thought I would hear myself say.

                            Don't know if you live in the States @Stuart.T  but Chris at Wesco will build any boot you like. In the UK I'd talk to Giles about Wesco

                            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                            Well, I have others.

                              Wesco Jobmasters have a structured toe and can be ordered with a choice of safety toe boxes. Viberg’s workboot lasts (230 etc) also have a structured toe box.

                                @gaseousclay @steelworker @neph93  thanks for your thoughts guys. My viberg 1 of 1 engineer boots should finally be with me in a few weeks. I'm going freak them in then maybe work with Guy on another mto build. Wesco look good on some but for me they are just a bit to big alround.

                                      @Dishelveled very nice. For me, the 3 textures was a bit too much. I think I would have liked to see all the smooth be scotch grain. Of course it’s probably not at all noticeable when wearing them.

                                        It's so true that the little things we quibble over on photos during the buying process, get completely lost when worn in the real world–bump toes come to mind and hell wedge soles too! Think, once broken in fully the three textures would meld better.

                                        And I like the rationale behind the makeup--each of the 3 leathers is used where their properties are best appreciated--Scotch grain for wear/abrasions, suede for comfort/flex, and calf for durability and structure.
