[Giles]

Come on guys, when these are beat up they will look the absolute shits….

[injunjack]

those look cool. And you all know what I think about boots…

I've seen here so many girly shoes on men that I wouldn't even want to mention it.

And what's wrong with men wearing girly shoes?!

[simonc]

Barun I would offer this; if you get suede wesco's and plan on wearing any more box fresh IH jeans beware that the indigo will stain the top of the boots, sadly.  However on the upside I would stick to black or dark brown in this style as they look great.  I am ordering a couple of pairs one will be that model the other the boss.

well, there's this Harleyish saying " if I had to explain, you wouldn't understand"

@barun:

Giving some thought to these…any thoughts?

from me a def no, but I do not like the heel thing in general…

Simon, I have run into this problem with my Iron Rangers.  They are now almost a tan and indigo camouflage from my jeans.  It is a good thing to keep in mind, I may actually order them with the shaft leather and the rest rough out (as pictured)

I definitely don't think they look girly but if you were to see me, I don't think girly is something that would come to mind.

Me and G against the world on these I guess!  Thanks G (and IJ)

I think the size and/or angle of the pic is the only thing that might make these look a bit "girly" to some.  Personally, I kinda like them, too.  I doubt WESCOs could look anything other than badass.

[simonc]

Barun I never said they look girly, I said "what's wrong with girly?" in response to someone else who thinks they look girly, I think they look smashing!  See posts above.

They look rad and masculine IMHO. Love em !

Simon, I know, sometimes it's hard to display sarcasm on here.  I think they look smashing as well.

WESCO boots are anything but girly ! They are the toughest boots made
Period

[barun]

Ok, a few questions here.  I visited bakershoe and looked at the custom Wesco page here:  http://www.bakershoe.com/clothing.cfm/department/mens/gear/bootsshoes/product/custom-wesco-jobmaster/
Is the price correct?  A customized pair with the same price as their regular offering?
How does Wesco compare to Whites?  I am a 8.5 in Redwings and generally a US9, am I a 8.5 in Wesco as well?

[Jordan23]

The price isn't the same. You have to choose your options and add it to cart. Then the right price will shown.

A custom pair of Wescos on Baker's site seem to cost a lot more than their starting price.  That's one point I'd have to give to White's.  Those usually don't end up being much more than the base price unless you go wild.

[simonc]

Very nice D are they lined?

[demonito]
