WESCO

As I don't see Wesco dedicated topic and being a great fan of their products I start one.

Any other Wesco lover over here?

Planning to get some Boss Wesco custom boots built soon; anyone had custom boots built with Wesco before and anything to note or look out for?

I own two pairs Wesco Boss boots. One pair is brown, the other pair is black. Although I usually prefer brown boots, my black pair is my favourite. It is made from silicon tanned fire resistant leather and has a really cool dull matte finish.

I bought both pairs of boots at http://www.bigblackboots.com. Ron Belanger who owns the store is a great guy, with a lot of knowledge on Wesco boots. Ron still orders the Boss boots with the original "bump" toes. I don't think you can get the bump toes at the usual Superfuture approved stores. Ron ships all over the world.

They were cheaper when I ordered my boots last year. It seems that there are several places on the Internet that are cheaper than Wesco's own web site.

Giving some thought to these…any thoughts?

[Giles]

[gbougard]

[Giles]

That's me…

[hectic]

Yeah, whiff of tank girl.

[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. 

[simonc]

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.
