WESCO
-
Well, officially joined the Wesco club. After going back and forth, I couldn’t say no to the Todd Blubaugh boot. I love how it looks all dirtied up and used.
Now, the waiting begins haha
Great boot. Love the waxed flesh. Enjoy!
The waxed flesh is super interesting to me. The pairs I’ve seen that have been thrashed have such a unique look. Butterscotch offered a boot from Truman in a black waxed flesh that really grabbed my attention, but WESCO has been on my wishlist for many years. Same with a proper engineer boot.

Ok so I'm looking at grabbing a pair of job masters, I wear a size 9 in red wing should I be a size 9 in wesco also? I am thinking about going with a stock pair first so I can return them if need be. Any help would be appreciated

What kind of red wings are you talking about?
I'm a 9D in the Red Wing Moc Toes and 8.5 in Iron Rangers. I'm an 8.5D in the job masters. The leather on Wesco boots are so much thicker and requires more break in vs Red Wings. If you're on the borderline of D width, then I would go with an E width.
Hope this helps!

They made it, finally. It took a year but I would wait another one for these beauties if need be.
They fit perfectly. Although I went custom, I was a bit afraid that I made something wrong. Turned out very well.@Chesson my man, I know I have been pain the ass the past 12 months
thanks for you assistance and support!And now it’s time to beat em up

Nice… ordered mine back in September last year... should be here end of may, but worth the wait as always!

Howdy @neph93 Wanted to pick your brain on these boots a bit if ya don't mind?
Finally got my MTO Wescos in! Damn they are gorgeous! I had them custom fit. They slid right on the first time like butter…including the inserts. I guess I was expecting them to fit more snug based off all the reading i've done on engineer boots. These are a whole different beast I suppose. With socks and inserts they seem to fit pretty good. There is some heel slip, about 1/2 inch i'd guess. I think this is normal too. Only worn them for one evening thus far, so sounds like this will minimize with wear. Guess I'm wondering how yours fit when you first got them?
Thanks again, you're always such a wealth of knowledge...hope I'm not too pesky with all the questions all the time.

Not at all…
First of all, beautiful, beautiful boots. Well done.
Secondly, heel slip happens, don’t sweat it. It will minimise as they break in, by which point you’ll also have stopped noticing it [emoji38]
