      They look (even) better than new… Summat about new/ polished boots bothers me...

          I am not sure they are a member here, but I saw someone on Instagram has these and waxed them. They turned out really good. I've got the Alex BLK but damn these are smoking too.

          Didn’t realize what a fan of black boot I was 😃

            @Seul they look great.

            Maybe so. Maybe not

                I don’t suppose these could be ordered with black stitching instead of brown stitching? Asking for a friend…

                  For sure. It would take a few months to get made but custom orders are one of the wonders of the IH/Wesco relationship.

                      That sounds like bad news for my wallet. I mean my friend’s wallet. So theoretically could they be ordered through the IH website and drop-shipped to me my friend from Wesco? Or would they have to take a trip to Gos Vegas first?

                        We'd ship direct from Wesco, not that the price would be any different.  Tell your friend to email shop@ironheart.co.uk if he wants to go ahead.

                              😃  I love the way the black roughout looks new, I’m just wondering how difficult it will be to keep them looking that nice. I haven’t owned any roughout shoes before.

                                    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. 😬

                                      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:

                                            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...
