      Boss toe with shift protector.
      Heavy and thick leather. Unconfortable but protective boots.

        A shift lever boot is an option, as well. I found this one on Amazon, for $15…...

          Why are they uncomfortable @Pygmalion ?
          Haha @scooter I didn't know something like this exists…

            The thickness of the leather makes them quite heavy. I.e. they are for riding, not for walking around. The second reason is even more subjective. I ride BMW GS, it has not much room down there which makes shifting a little difficult with stubborn boots. Boss toe with a extra patch makes the boot quite "high", clumsy, and one has to move the foot, ankle, quite much to get the boot under and above  the lever.

              Ok, I never had comfort issues with Engineers.
              Is this a rough out upper and smooth vamp? We need more pics  😉

                Good day, 90,000 km. 4 pairs of boots, none of them have switch marks, they are rubber. These boots are army boots. Sweden.

                  …@scooter I love it!! 😃 I've never seen that before either!

                  ...I love the shift protector on the Boss Toe also, but I didn't have it put on the Wesco's I custom ordered. :o

                  ...I live with the shift mark...badge of honor. 😉

                    As much as I like all the Wesco offerings from IHUK and would have preferred to shop there I can't seem to get any of the lasts to work with narrow feet but wide splaying toes that also stick up, both the jobmaster and the mp squeeze my toes either from the side or the top (I've tried so many other boots too: Yuketen, Viberg, Alden, Trickers, nothing ever seems to work with my weird feet. Still hoping to make a pair of Wesco work eventually though). So today went to Clutch Cafe to try White's having never given them a go and eyeing them up on East West and elsewhere for awhile. Was just wanting to try for size really but they had a sample pair that Whites had made special for Clutch, a semidress in a reddish rough out that happened to be in my size. These immediately felt comfortable, and after walking around in them for awhile it was clear. So now I've got a one of a kind pair. Tried and failed with so many boots before, hoping these work out. Just went for a half hour walk and no issues. Sunlight brings out a sort of salmony colour, but really they're a reddish brown waxy rough out that I think is going to look great with more wear. I've emailed Whites for more info.

                      @Nkwkfld You can also get your feet measured and have Wesco build boots to your feet specifications.  I don't know if IH will measure them for you, but it is relatively easy to do.  My wife and I measured mine and I have had no complaints on fit…

                                    Those will be really nice Clint - I’ve fully embraced the Chelsea Boot again and it’s a glorious addition, especially for us in warmer climates.

                                      Thanks, Adam!  I picked up a pair in the black Husky leather as well and it's so nice to be able to slip them on and off easily as well.  I'm happy as can be with them!

                                        Same. With working from home for nearly two years now, I've basically stopped wearing shoes for about 23 hours per day. For that one hour when I'm taking kids to school and/or running errands, I've been constantly reaching for my pair of Blundstones. I never expected to like them as much as I do.

                                            I decided to be brave and wear my Zerrows on my trip. I hope I don't regret this after 12 hours of travel.
