IHWE-JOU-TAN - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 8" Domain Jobmaster® Boot - British Tan. The "Journeyman"
-
@Streetwise Hercules - not the IHWE-JOU, but these are my BTD Jobmasters. They have been in constant rotation for about two years. The soles are still going strong, I will probably re-sole next year.
Lovely bit of leather!
My contribution, to urban blues…
-
@IH-GARY thank you.
So, I’ll state the bleedin’ obvious:
Those are flipping lovely!
That’s the Vibram Christy sole I think. The IH version has a Raptor and my Red Wings, that I very much love, have something made of Lancashire Cheese.
-
@Streetwise Hercules - you are spot on mate, my bad, I should have remembered they were Christy's!
The RW soles my boots come with give me pretty good wear - but resoles I can wear out within a year easy.
I'm going to ask for an alternative to the RW branded sole on my next resole to see if they last longer! -
@Streetwise Hercules hope these pics help, unfortunately haven’t worn as much in last 3 months due to lockdown, but have worn them regularly over two years and love them.
-
Here are mine @Streetwise Hercules. It's my favorite pair of boots, I've been wearing them everyday for more than a year (excluding winters and very hot days), walking and motorcycling. I pre-ordered them when the were announced and never regretted it. The soles are quite enduring.
I can't wait for spring so I can put them on again !
-
Thanks everyone.
Lovely looking boots. I’m sorely tempted.
-
The pics of these broken in really sold me on them so I just ordered a pair. That tax return I haven't received yet is really burning a hole in my pocket.
-
These boots are amazing. I love the lace to toe look. Ans the coloration of the leather. Reminds me of the oro legacy leather on eight inch red wing 877s. Except I really don't like how old moc toe boots look and much prefer the blunt round toe. Awesome.
-
Just got these. They are indeed amazing. I think I even sized right. They fit but don't feel tight or loose. I took an 11 (normally 11.5 in sneakers). I've never really had big boy boots before. There's a little bit of heel sleep on my right foot (which is smaller than my left) but that should stop once these mold more to my feet right? Do I need to treat them with anything?

Just wear them a lot! No need to do anything to the leather right away.

Yes, and no! Great boots!
-
@setandsetting the heel slip will go away as they mold to you feet for sure. So long as it's not excessive. If they are too big that's an issue but a little heel slip is always present at the first few wears of boots for sure.
Great choice, stoked to see how they evolve!!
-
Thanks everyone!
-
Really happy with these so far. I've been wearing them around the house letting them stretch a bit. Feeling close to being ready to take a walk.

What is your size? I had sell my RW 875 because my sneakers size (US9.5) was too big for me in those… Sould I go for the US9? I have in my cart the US9E because I hate narrow shoes… But also worried about the length! Every Converse I’ve own are 27.5cm…

@spaniarddh - FWIW, I am a rock solid 10D in all Wescos - Lace Ups and Pull Ons included. I wear a 10US in Converse ZChuck 70s (I do wear a 9.5US with no socks) and I am a 10.5 in New Balance 993s. I also wear a 10-10.5 in Vans (Same situation, 10.5 with socks, 10 for sockless).

Thanks for the multiple references!! Although I will need a couple of inches or cm references… I hate clown like shoes due to a bad size pick up…

@spaniarddh I'm an UK 8 in these Wescos, and find them true to size. I wear 8 in every shoe/brand. Hope this helps

With any noticeable difference? Roomier than others? How can I know the cm in this boots for the sizes: us9 and 9.5?
