      That’s nice Giles! They will look great. You have the full build?

      If I like them, they will be offered as a 20th Anny build…..

            Makes no difference if I have 9 or 10 pairs of Engineers  😃

              That is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever read.

                Haha. I just placed the order for the quick Striker SS Wesco collab. I love that olive, but purple (insert heart smiley here)

                      They are indeed. I love the olive waxed flesh and longer straps. They will look great a year into wearing them.
                      Oh and thanks for the IKEA shoe storage tip. I checked them yesterday and they are great for our purpose especially since our walk in closet consists of doorless PAX. In the bigger ones I can fit 8 pairs (front and back).

                        First pair of Wescos! They fit wonderfully! What can you fine folks tell me about the Mr. Lou breaking in process, or anything in particular?

                          Great boots!

                          What leather is it? That will have a lot to say about the break in. Breaking them in will be like breaking in XHS. The leather will stretch, soften and mould, as will the soles. Single mids don’t take to long either.

                          If they pinch at the start then take out the insole, keep it safe and replace later. If they stretch too much you can add extra insoles.

                          These are designed to minimise heel slip, but if you do get it, then remember it’s a feature, not a flaw.

                            @neph93 I was so excited about them I forgot to post the leather type. It's the steerhide. They don't pinch but feel nice and snug.

                                  Sounds perfect. I’ve never had the pleasure of Wesco’s steerhide. I’d guess it is lighter than the Oil tanned, possibly heavier than the domain leathers. Either way, snug is how you want them at the start.

                                    As mentioned before, they take a bit to break in and might feel wobbly at first when walking but they will mould to your feet. Snug is good, too short wouldn’t be good.

                                        Wobbly and snug is a strange surprise but well described and exactly how it feels clonking around old hardwood floors in my house.
