      @bluemantra I had my wife do it for me. It came out great!! They fit absolutely perfect. They have a video you can watch to that helps take some of the guess work out of it all.

      If you have the time and patience, I’d highly recommend the process.

      In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

        @bluemantra FYI: Custom Wesco boots made to your measurements, currently have a 18-20 month window right now. I would buy them now If you find a pair of Wesco’s on sale in a size that you typically wear, or be prepared for a long wait.

          The wait is more like 22 months, or at least it just was for me. I do like Wesco but I doubt I’ll order any more for a while until they can get their lead times under control. All my other pairs from them took 4-6 months but 2 years is just too long for me.

              @Palmer It seems pretty crazy to wait 2 years. Seems like it just keeps getting longer and not shorter.

                  I own nine pairs of Wesco's and arguably I do not need any more. That said, I am with @Palmer. While I do love Wesco boots, I can't see myself ordering a pair with the lead times they have now. I sent a pair back for a rebuild and it's been four months. In that same timeframe, I ordered a custom pair of White's Boots and received them in six weeks.

                    Anecdotally, I have an order in with Lofgren (June 2023) that still has not arrived (due January 2024), and placed an order with Zerrows (April 2024) not due until early next year.

                    From what I have read this appears to be the norm and not one off events. I think everyone is trying as hard as they can, but the capacity (equipment, manpowers, materials, etc.) is not there.

                        @goosehd I see your point. But it seems wesco lead times are still a magnitude greater. I’m just getting into boots and 24+ months is a barrier.

                          @bluemantra There are many other great boot manufacturers out there. I have Vibergs, Zerrows, Trickers, and Lofgrens, that are all just as good as Wesco and most of them are all off the shelf builds. Unless you have a special needs foot wise, full custom builds are not needed.

                                            @bluemantra I went with the same size as my Mr. Lou (11.5 E), they are roomier in the toe with a bit of heel slip but extremely comfortable.
                                            The boss last is more casual in profile and doesn't hug the top of the foot quite as much as the Mr. Lou.
                                            I see these becoming my go-to boots to slip on by the door on my way out of the house.
