      I’m a big fan of both the leather and the last/build of these.

      The Pampa? That’s Argentina? I once saw a pair of Red Wings where I live. Just the once mind [emoji1]

        In Germany one says " in the Pampa" means in the middle of nowhere.
        Now I am searching for the Wesco 38RT. (out of black horsehide) But these are way more seldom..

          That makes more sense. I was sure you were in Deutschland, but then got confused [emoji1]

            @Giles that looks like a Morrison but I’m wondering what toe shape you chose? They look great and your oil tanned leather is way different from the swatch I have. Gives me ideas…

                Is the bubble toe last something only available in Japan? What is it exactly?  Isn’t it really a Boss toe?

                  The bubble or bump toe, is the 9109 shoe last. You can have almost any boot built on it. I have a Boss on that last, I also have a Warren (Packer upper on the 9109) If you want it put it in the special instructions on a order, or message @Chris at Wesco

                  Edit: the 8106 (Warren) pictured above is built on the 9109 last

                    It’s a set of Boss lasts with variated toe shape. There is a story as to how it happened. I can’t remember it I’m afraid, but in short you have what is now the standard Boss last, and a set of Boss lasts with the bump toe, with another lot number as @jdl1279 says.

                          Six you say? I guess they would be the following:

                          MP
                          Morrison (Western)
                          «Narrow» (MP variation)
                          Boss
                          Bump toe (Boss variation)
                          Harness

                          It doesn’t help, but Wesco Japan has different names for some lasts/toe styles than the ones used by Wesco USA.

                            Been working on my deck project in some ancient SRs and my custom Lace Ups. I swear, aside from the toes wearing down kinda fast when kneeling, suede is an idea fabric for working in dirt, sand and sawdust. Just let them dry, brush with a suede brush, and good as new.

                            After a few weekends of work, gave the smooth out sections and mid soles a little oil too.

                                  Just some mink oil.

                                  I rotate mink oil and leather conditioner as Mink oil has a tendency to cause cracking if the leather gets dry, but I do like it’s waterporoofing abilities.

                                    I bought another Wesco, this time Romeo.  I call it the “Un-Roller”.  Basically the Roller Mag collab without the Roller stamp on the navy leather insert.  Will receive in August.  My other Horsehide boss boot order comes in July.

                                    The Romeo price wasn’t too bad either.
