@Crashed I think I know what you mean now, something like this?:
In which case you’re right, Wesco don’t do something that stylised. I’m not up on cowboy boots but I understand Luchesse to be a respected brand in that ouvre. They do custom builds I believe.

The closest Wesco do you a cowboy boot is their western toe. Not squared at the toe, but quite narrow and with “roper” style uppers. You can get them done with any vibrant sole your like and double mids, and even add harness straps
At the end of the day, Wesco have a focus on practical work boots historically. That is their background. Have a look at Luchesse. Their custom builder gives you the option of a western style boot with their “nr.7” toe, which resembles what you’re after. I doubt they put a lugged vibrant #100 on their boots but that could be customised aftermarket.

3. Square toes, which come in a variety of squareness, from subtle box toes to the broad square toes, have gained popularity over the past fifteen years. The “John Wayne” toe is a narrow square, also called a box toe, a punchy toe, or some other name depending on the company. The wide, square toe is the preferred choice for frat brothers, West Texas landmen, and rodeo cowboys.
John Wayne huh …...... i must be getting old

A lot of the London and Surrey Chapters buy IH and regularly pop down here. They've been to a couple of our parties too. Believe it or not, a thoroughly nice, courteous and polite bunch of chaps, always amazingly charming with Paula…..
I thought I'd put my foot in it one day when the President of the London Chapter asked me if he could have a jacket we were sampling, I said "we don't make samples for fat fuckers", there was an awkward silence, then he pissed himself laughing
