      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?

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                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.

                            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]

                                      I'm kinda liking the Robert William shoe with the brown pebble (last image) from the Shoemaker collection. It's weird and cool at the same time…
