IHWE-FP2 - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - 7" Brown Rough-Out Boot

[Hereforthebeer]

And I'm a 9.5D in Vibergs.

[Snowy]

….and ordered!

Using http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/EsaImages/ContentPageImage/SizeChart.HTML for my sizing guide I went from US9.5D to US10E here. As a wide-foot, E sounds good.

Very excited. Looking forward to walking around the city all day in a pair, which is where my feet find themselves more often now.

[Snowy]

Thanks for the help @Hereforthebeer

[Hereforthebeer]

No dramas mate, hope they work out!

[Megatron1505]

Great pick up @Snowy , looking forward to reading your impressions of them. These are your first Wesco's right?

[Snowy]

@Megatron1505 yup, first Westco. @Winchy has been a good help in sizing. Imagine they'll ship tomorrow.

[Snowy]

I have plans for these to be 'the' shoe I take on holidays next. Fingers crossed.

These boots are now 10KM's (6Miles) from my house at the UPS collection centre, prior to delivery attempt. It's Good Friday. so UPS is closed. Next time they are open is Tuesday next week, when they will be delivered to me at work. 4 days off, boots 10K's away, and can't do anything. Funny how these things go sometimes.

[Hereforthebeer]

That would do my head in mate, so close but yet so far away… I call covert Op into UPS collection centre.

Snowy has past form with Breaking & Entering.  I for one, would not bet against it…..

[Snowy]

Ha! I have broken into DHL's old building before. Am filling my weekend in other ways ::) (and will be calling them first thing tomorrow, just to confirm they meant closed all of easter, not just closed on easter friday)

[pillowPANTS]

Thats a good idea Snow. It would drive me nuts

[Snowy]

Got a human on the phone this morning….short of flying a plane load of cargo to the warehouse, it's closed.

@pillowPANTS yes, a little nuts and then some!

[Snowy]

Okay, so they are here (and on my feet!). I know 1/2 a size smaller would have been too small in length/width for my larger foot. Still trying to work out if I've nailed the fit or not.

Thoughts on them;
1)They are light; just what I was after!
2)Stitching is perfect
3)The Rough-Out is beautiful
4)Speed hooks are spot on
5)Impressed!

Will try get some pictures up on the weekend. 11pm local time, trying to figure out what to do whilst walking up and down a small carpeted room not the easiest ::)

Worn indoors all week, felt like I'd sized right.

Wore outside today for the first time. On the feet for 9 hours, 10.5KMs, no blisters, no heal slip, still felt light as a breeze, they're a keeper!

[Snowy]

still working on some real shots, but at this stage some > none.

Same experience with my FP1's … never had so comfortably "new" boots --- outstanding!

[Finkster]

b.t.w.
Your FP2's looking gorgeous with the brown rough-out leather and the leather laces combi - good choice!

[Hereforthebeer]

Looking good mate, glad the sizing worked out.

Arrived!

I believe the size is pretty spot on after initially trying them. Amnesty wear number one will be tomorrow.
