        in case someone like these and is a US 11E rush over to http://www.mrmuddandmrgold.com they have one pair left for a super steal price of €234 -20% if you use the code "summer discount" and possible (not 100% sure, but guess so) minus VAT if you live outside Europe!!!

          how would one build out a custom pair like these  ??? :

          I really dig the overall look  😘

          I think these are the build that's only available to the Japanese market.  You could try a motor patrol toe, standard stitching, standard motor patrol heal height, standard instep strap, and black leather. That might get you there. If you email the picture to Bakers, they'll be able to get it made for you. Hop that helps.

            Thank you very much, it does indeed help!  Are these the Wesco Narrow Engineers only available in Japan?  I had no idea, I just saw the pic on superfuture and wanted them immediately  😠

            I would definitely lengthen the straps by an inch or two if I go with a custom build.

                Those are not the Narrows, lacking triple stitching, old wesco stamp, and higher stacked heel, and i don't think that is black fire leather. You could easily make the boot you posted in Wesco custom. You can nearly make the Narrow, but Wesco won't (from my attempt) put the highliner heel on an engineer with MP toe and last, Japan has the exclusives to that combination for now.

                    anyone have thoughts on the leather lining option?  ???
                    is it worth the extra money?  pros cons?

                      Yes. Get the lining. Any soft material between your body and Wesco's is a good thing.

                        ^+1000!  My Jobmasters are lined and I think they would have been brutal during break-in without it!  But they aren't actually broken-in just yet, but I can tell that the lining makes them feel more compliant!

                          Cant't comment on Wescos yet. I ordered them without lining.

                          Usually lining is used with softer leather so the shaft is more rigid.

                              Also absorbs sweat and thus extends the life of the shoe/boot…..

                                  Different strokes to different folks

                                  Vamp is anyways leather lined, so lining for shaft is personal preference.

                                  I built my boots to be sort of replica of 40/50's Engineer boots, and then shafts didn't usually have linings…

                                      Wesco is having a sale. $50off new boots+$20 off shipping. Doesn't apply to factory seconds but if you can find the clearance area it does apply to those.

                                          http://www.westcoastshoe.com/wesco/stock.asp

                                          Not sure if this will take you to the clearance section directly, but you should at least see the link in the top left corner.

                                          edit: go to the stock boots page, then go to highliners, then look in the top left corner for the clearance area link.
