      Those are sweet dude. They are The most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. That raptor
      Sole is amazing.

      Thanks Matty! Agreed! Wesco has quickly become my go to footwear! These are my first custom romeos and I’m loving them! Although the stock pair I own fits almost as perfect. Congrats on the boss build! They sound nice [emoji1360] can’t wait to see [emoji102]

            Can someone tell me why it’s difficult to resole a boot that has a raptor sole?? I’ve read a few places that it’s difficult

            Maybe so. Maybe not

              I would think Chris at Wesco would be able to give you a good answer for that question.

                I haven't heard that before. I have heard stichdown is a bit harder to resole than good year welt.

                That being said if you find out let us know! I have 2 pairs of raptor sole and havent had them resoled yet. So im interested too

                  We have resoled plenty of them. The only instance I could see them being hard to resole would be if they are worn down past the 4-iron slip that we attach them with, and if they were a half-slip construction like our old Romeo's etc.

                    Thanks Chris! Now that you mention it I was reading about Romeos that were indeed half slipped. Thanks man! Any recommendations for cleaning Roughout?

                      How did Wesco Japan come about? Obviously, there's a market for Wesco Boots there, but i'm curious if it's a business partnership much like IHJP/IHUK.

                          @Matty123  Chris may have another suggestion… But this is what I use to clean roughout. It has an eraser and a brush in the kit.

                          I got mine on Amazon. Works good on couple of pairs I've got.

                            Yes, and they are great lookers.

                            They are really hard for me to get on (like, I can't), due to my ridiculously high instep.  I've also got some damage to my left-hand big toe (falling down a set of steps when wearing neoprene booties on a wet boat in rolling seas)….

                            I get them photographed tomorrow, but prob not on my feet!!!!

                              Damn dude. Well I hope your toe heels up.
                              Do you have the custom last made? If so I would think that would help the high instep issue.  But mAybe not…..
                              Looking forward To seeing photos of them regardless. Mine have a lot of
                              Miles on them already. The raptor sole is ridiculously comfortable.

                              Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  I def had issue with the instep at first… it was snug. And coincidentally I had an ingrown toe nail  week after I received them and I couldn’t wear them... so maybe when you “heel” up you can get them on! Here’s to hoping!

                                          Ive got a feeling I'll be pre ordering one of the makeups they just announced on Instagram. Originally I was thinking I wanted a custom hendrik in olive or slate or something but…

                                          Essex looks like such a cool leather and I have a feeling it will be a patina monster...

                                          I cant get over those Hendriks[emoji7]
