IHWE-JMHH-BRN - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 8" Maryam Horsehide Jobmaster® Boot

[Alex]

No news other than the Wesco lead time is about 12months!

[h3n9]

Thanks Alex. So there is no scheduled restock?

[Alex]

@Bill:

@Alex / @Giles - any plans for a restock on these boots?

@Alex:

No, but we are working on something very similar in a new leather (this leather is discontinued)

@Chesson:

This is the new TPR full veg tanned horsehide from Maryam that we will be running these boots in going forward. It's quite hard to get a true colour photo because when it's flat it has quite a lot of shine but there is a really nice fine grain to it.

See above quotes for the context. New version in the works, new leather used. No ETD as yet

[h3n9]

Thanks. So nothing changed in the meantime. These boots would be handy right now, with snow in some parts of Europe.

What about the last?

No, nothing has changed since September I am afraid. Like I say the lead time with Wesco is over 12 months so we are still a ways out.

I'm pretty sure they are built on the 65 last, but I would need to confirm with Wesco when the new run is in production

[h3n9]

Thank you very much for the information Alex. I'll keep an eye on these and hope that they'll be ready for the next winter [emoji3]

RESTOCK

[Denman John]

How stiff are these boots out of the box? Will they be an easy break in or will they require some serious effort? Either way they are a beautiful pair of boots!

[Ross]

@Denman-John I wouldn't say they're too brutal out the box, and the smoothness of that veg tanned horsehide definitely helps the initial comfort, but they will still need breaking in like any good pair of boots before they hit that peak 'daily driver' comfort that you want

[FlavourFade]

I am still in the market for a pair of boots and wonder how these will look after some wear ? Also how is this sole for daily casual wear? I walk on concrete and tiles a lot and never had a boot with a lug sole

Maybe @Ross can help?

Also how about the sizing, have zero experience with wesco... Wear a 9.5 in M43 by John Lofgren and 10 in Red Wing Moc toes.

[Ross]

@FlavourFade These will be a bit different if you're not used to a lug sole but they shouldn't encounter any difficulty on hard surfaces, although you might find they wear a bit quicker due to the friction being applied to a smaller surface area if that makes sense - but we're talking over the course of years..

As for sizing i'd go with a 10D as i find Wesco sizing broadly similar to Red Wing sizing, if you've ever found yourself struggling for width in your boots then consider the 10E.

You can always shoot me an Email at Shop@Ironheart or DM if you need any extra help.

[FlavourFade]

@Ross thanks Ross! I already wrote an e-mail to the shop and Graham suggested a 9.5E

I wear Iron Rangers in 9.5d but they are very snug, can't wear them with very thick socks but they are not causing pain.

My Lofgrens in 9.5 are roomy I would say, I think this is a perk of the munsoon last?

But for Moc Toes I definetely need a 10
