      😶

      [emoji23]

      I came to the realization that my Red Wings were in desperate need of a resole and weren’t going to make it another 2-3 months while I waited for a custom pair, and I have no other shoes that work for my job, so I just ordered a stock pair of these. I’ll see if the brown stitching grows on me, otherwise there’s always the black Sharpie option I guess. 😬

        Congratulations!

        I have brown stitching on both my black Wesco Engineers. One roughout, one not. I find it very subtle and and not in contrast at all. Unless you’re going for a totally murdered out pair with black midsoles, eyelets and everything then the brown touches just add depth to the colourway. I have a feeling you’ll be happy [emoji6]

          I’ve seen some “in the wild” pics where it’s super subtle, but in a lot of close up pics it’s a lot less so and almost looks pinkish-purple. There’s a guy on Instagram that waxed his and they look amazing, almost looks like he dyed the stitching:

            That works for sure. Very cool. I'll look forward to hearing what you do…

              Originally it was the one thing I didn't like about Wesco boots: the (colour of the) stitching… As of right now, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world...

                    After a few hours worth of wear it seems that the break-in process I was bracing for isn’t going to be an issue. These aren’t as snug as I was bracing myself for them to be so I think it’s going to be smooth sailing.

                    These are made from the oil-tanned leather, correct?

                      Man they look awesome Chuck and dont worry about the roughout, it’s pretty bombproof.

                        Yep, I'll update the product to reflect that…...

                                        Beauties…. absolute beauties. Doing that thing can have serious economic consequences but I have never looked at any of my pairs of Wesco’s with anything like buyer’s remorse.
