Fairly soon is good enough for me!

@Ross thanks! if I wear 10.5D Boss, safe that 10.5D in these will fit?
-
@hgering27 I'd say so, or at least its a good place to start
-
@Ross I havent tried any of the Wesco lace ups so just wasnt sure, but I guess we will see
-
@Ross ordered the 10.5d, now we wait and see. cant wait to get these in hand, been checking for restocks forever. they just look insanely nice
-
@hgering27 Let me know how you get on!
-
@Ross FINALLY.... Maybe a classic boss engineer with vibram 100 ? .......
-
@Ross boots came and they’re incredible. Perfect fit. One question I have and not sure if anyone might know, but even out of the box there are creases on both toe areas. It seems like even on the stock photos they are there also. Any idea what that’s from? It doesn’t really matter to me but was just curious if anyone knew or had any thoughts
Edit:
my thought is likely because a toe cap of some sort underneath? -
@hgering27 Yeh you're basically spot on, just from where the toe is reinforced
You can see where this is in the cross section I post over in this thread
-
does anyone have any examples of how this leather ages? it seems that it will likely patina fairly quickly at least from abrasions and such, but does it get darker with time/wear? I am just new to this leather
@Ross do you know if it’s some sort of aniline dye on the leather that gives it that glossy effect? Seems like with scuffs it’ll come off to show the vegetable tanned leather underneath?
-
@hgering27 no examples from us yet.
Given it's a veg tanned leather, and I know the finish is relatively soft, it's more than likely going to patina rapidly - although exact results will always vary on each individual's use/abuse and care regime
-
Any recent pics of people wearing these?? Really tempted by them
-
-
Took them out for a day in the snow with my son today. Really been enjoying wearing these considering I almost exclusively wear engineers. The toe area took a beating and a lot of the brown kind of wore down revealing the leather a bit more. Curious to see how they’ll age and patina
-
Put in the order this morning will be my first pair of Wesco's! Stoked to own a pair
