WAYWT - Shoes/Boots Edition!

Perfect G, gorgeous boots

[Giles]

Thanks BH.  I think so too…...

[Blackheart]

I got all but one pair of my Wesco's off their seconds page, super deals and a lot of them are new so you
can't go wrong if you know your size.

[Giles]

I just chatted to Wesco (more on this soon….... :-X).  The 3 pairs that I have bought were all brand spanking new with no faults.......

[Blackheart]

All of mine were too, I'm so glad you're finding some great boots there G 

Ooh…That chat sounds interesting...!

Wesco

Take One

Take Two

Great, now you're making me want to buy some Wesco 

[Chris]

You should.  They're very nice.  Besides, you need to get something to use as a comparison for how tough your White's boots are.

A pair of Boss are on the list now….

Agreed. I've been eyeing them for a while. Come on 2nds page.

Here's something else not seen around these parts too frequently. I really need a resole, but can't decide what to do, recommendations welcomed.


Mephisto

[jdl1279]

^to be more specific, I want something different. Local guy suggested the dreaded Christy, or similar, but I definitely don't think that would work. Other Vibram suggestions? Should I go all out and have them rebuilt? I really like this shoe, but it needs some help.

[Anesthetist]

Not sure what sole, but love Mephisto.

[jdl1279]

They're a great shoe, they just need resoled. I just want something different for them and can't seem to set my mind on it.

[Appfaff]

If you would like to dress then up a but, use a stacked leather heel/leather sole combo - if you want to keep their "comfortable" aesthetic that Mephisto is known for, perhaps an old school Marshmellow (like On bucks) sole would looks killer and be comfy as ever- just maybe not all that durable.

I think something like a  Vibram 430 Mini-Lug would work quite nicely on them. http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4452.650 is a great place to look as everyone's posting their boots and make-ups, so there's a real-world look at them all…

[jdl1279]

Thanks guys. Straight leather with a stacked heel isn't quite it, but I really like some of the Cat's Paw and/or Biltrite options. The 430 Snowman suggested looks promising as well.

[jdl1279]

Hmmm…the 705 looks interesting too. Anyone with experience with the two? I'm thinking leather mid, stacked heel, 705 or 430. Worry it might be a bit much on a shoe though.

[Megatron1505]

For those I would add a double leather midsole and a Vibram mini lug.
