@j6550 dig those. Thought those were the 310 at first. I’ve been curious about the 2045…killer leather ya got there too!

Wesco x Ship John “bubble” toe

[j6550]

@Mizmazzle thanks. These are my first Viberg pair and this 2045 actually makes me want the 310 now.

[Mizmazzle]

@j6550 my 310s are a black cxl. Wish it was of the teacore variety. But cxl is so good in all its forms.

Red Wing Steve McQueen 278. My favorite actor, bought these first day available.

@Mizmazzle I just pulled the trigger on the 310 Chocolate Chamois from Withered Fig. I ordered them with the idea that if I don't absolutely like em, I'll send them back. I'm just trying them on. lol

[Mizmazzle]

@j6550 dude!! Congrats. Hope they work out for ya. They have a nice roomy toe box and I love that sprung toe. Do the ones you ordered have the toe cap?

Picked up a pair of Thursday(diplomat) boots 2 days ago. Wore half day yesterday and changed sneakers mid shift. Today rocked them all day and feet are fine. Super easy break in period, pretty great boot imo and nice price.

[j6550]

@Mizmazzle No toe cap, Dainite outsole. I went with the same size as the 2045 as suggested to me. The 2045 is a bit roomy at the ankle but I can take up that space if I run the laces around the ankle. I heard that the 310 facings are more proportionate.

[Mizmazzle]

@j6550 yup! I feel the ankle is a bit narrower on the 310 and opens up as it moves into the toe box. I have a D width foot and find it very comfortable. Though I think wider feet will truly reap the benefits.

[j6550]

@Mizmazzle I got them and they were too big unfortunately. The boot didn't grip the sides of my foot, and my toe felt kinda far from the toe. I even laced up one foot just to see if the fit would change and it didn't. I even double checked the size and it's the same as the 2045. I just dropped them off at UPS and started the exchange. I do have to say that the Chocolate Chamois is very nice and oily.

[Mizmazzle]

@j6550 damn! You got those quick!! Do they have a size to exchange down?

I’m always a full size down from Brannock in all my Vibergs. Not sure if you find that to be the case as well…

The IH forum is both an excellent resource and a terrible menace to my spending account. Diving deep on this thread is bad for my wallet.

I posted these in the Mr Lou thread, despite the boots being a custom order Boss:

And since we're talking Wesco, my Guildsman (fka the Alex):

With work style boots, two others that I'm quite fond of, Red Wing Moc, a classic. Admittedly, it's on their narrower last, and I should really be in a wide last, but the CRT leather is tough to resist.

Because I'm in what seems to be a great region for many things, including bootmakers, I made a trek down to Truman Boots for sizing and was able to convince them to build these out of the last bit of Waxy China Blue. They are part of my Bobcat boot collection, with the Bobcats being the mascot of my alma mater.

And on the topic of my Bobcat boots, I have a thing for western wear, and boots in particular. These Ariats from their Futurity series, built in Mexico, also sport my university's colors.

Lastly, for now, my party boots, python belly from Tecovas:

@Bobcat-Sig nice collection. Those blue Trumans are sweet.
