      How would you guys describe the fit for the jobmasters? I really dig the ones @kkibbey23 has from Division Road. I have weird feet so I’m unsure if the toe box is wide enough in a D fitting or if I’d have to go for an E fit

        Plenty of room in the toe box of a pair of Jobmasters. I have far more width room with the Jobmaster last over the 9109 (bump toe), and it's clearly more than you'd have on the MP

          If you want me to get a few more pics just let me know.

          As far as fit, my feet are pretty normal I've never gone with a E width and I've got more than enough room in the toebox. Its got a pretty good bump on it.

              I can't remember If these were posted before or not I did post them to Instagram. I took these when I got them new.

              Also I'll get a few new pictures for you tomorrow

              British Tan is an amazing leather! And I have to say the raptor sole is prob the most comfortable sole going at least from what I've got. Hopefully I'm selling you on them[emoji23][emoji23]

                I was sold on these awhile ago, I just have to justify dropping $600 on a pair.

                        I really want to try the raptor sole on a pair of engineer boots. I know that goes against their classic looks but after having raptors on moc toes I agree they’re the most comfortable thing going. Black Bear did a nice Wesco version that quickly sold out.

                          I think Raptor soles on engineers is actually quite popular in Japan. I was communicating with Chris at Wesco a few months ago about the possibility of getting my current soles switched to Raptors. It ended up being way more difficult than I envisioned,so I didn't do it.

                                They are indeed. One of the disadvantages with them is that they wear out relatively quickly and are indeed comparatively tricky to change.

                                Regarding comfort, I don’t know. I got a pair of RW’s with a Christie sole about the same time as I got my viberg smokejumpers on a single mid and #100 lug. I know the intuitive thing is that soft is better, but I’m not sure about that. From experience, I’d rather be standing on a moulded leather mid with a high supporting heel an hard rubber lugs all day.

                                  I actually second that thought Reuben. My work boots have the 100F sole on them. 10-12 hour days on concrete floors in a machine shop, over 2 years in, still going, still comfortable

                                    I concurr that they wear out quickly. I typically get 18 months from a pair in rotation. I am fortunate to have 2 skilled cobbler shops within 10 minutes of me. Regarding comfort, I think footwear is about the most subjective thing around.

                                        Sole is amazing.

                                            I'm thinking of buying some wesco boots… how do they fit compared to redwing?... Do they stretch like red wing? Any help would be greatly appreciated
