      Which is why I wear pull-on Wescos when I am in Japan.  I can be at the next bar having a few drinks after dinner before some of the lace-up crew catch up….

        I’m surprised it took this long to come to the realization that the solution is: more boots. Duly noted. “But honey, what about travel to Asian or Norwegian areas? Do you want me to be woefully unprepared?!”

          I think that regardless of the problem the solution is more boots.

            Any wardrobe problem can be improved by adding boots.

                    Good way to start I suppose, that horsehide is straight-up boss-grade. 😎

                          Thanks @neph93 - now that our crazy warm (and long) summer is over, I’ve been wearing them a lot more and really starting to break them in.

                          I was just looking at your boss boots and thinking similarly actually lol

                                    Anyone know if wesco can build a romeo on the 9109? I think thatd look cool but im not sure ive ever seen a pic of one w a bump toe.

                                    I feel like I’ve seen it done but that maybe only because it should be a thing. I see no reason why not. Drop Chris@Wesco and email and ask. Let us know what he says [emoji1]

                                    For anyone that is interested, I contacted Chris about the inquiry of whether a romeo can be built on the 9109 last. His answer was basically yes, they can do it, but it would need a full midsole and half slip. Based on his answer and the photo he sent me, I think his answer assuming that I was going to build a pair using a wedge sole.

                                    I would probably build mine with a honey lug, and he sent me some photos of romeos with honeys but I was still fuzzy on whether the honey lug with the 9109 would still require the half slip + midsole. He was not able to find any photos of romeos, regardless of sole, built on the 9109 so it must be a rather uncommon request.  When I'm finally ready to drop the cash, I'll bug him more about a photo specifically of a romeo on the 9109, as I don't think I would buy a pair without seeing at least one visual.
