      Mostly work, but I'm not rushing to get them off when I get home and it often bleeds into personal wear

        Thanks for the input neph! Slip resistance is a key factor in a work boot for me. The 430 should be good for the normal wear this build will get. It does however sound like I'll be sticking to 100 for work boots

        I chose it as a compromise as I wanted an all year boot to get through the winters up here, without the clunky profile of the 100. It's done the job, just about.

        I understand that. The winter can be brutal here, but I've managed with the 705 when needed. Work is the only place I can't cheat traction, but little compares to oil on sealed and finished floors

          Dude these are killer. What's the specs on them?

          Unfortunately my luck with ordering shoes online is basically nil.

            I bought them from Wesco's Seconds page, but they're the same build as the Packers that Division Road sells:

              You guys have some sort of script written to crawl that site and alert you when your size is up?  I never seem to see any in my size.  Some awesome finds.

                I just check it a few times a week, usually while I drink my coffee.  🙂  It's definitely worth perusing on a regular basis!! 😉

                  In what way are those boots seconds? They look incredible… Going to check the site regularly from now but with the UK taxes & shipping cost, the boots aren't that cheap unfortunately..

                    If you see a retailer announce a special build that you like, start checking the Seconds page at Wesco.  Inevitably, a few will fail to meet Wesco's high standards and you'll have a shot at getting a cool build at a reduced rate.

                    Or, you could just check every couple of days.  It's the only way to be sure.

                      @EJS  The back of the heel wasn't lasted perfectly, so there are some very minor bumps in the leather, where it was tucked-in between the insole and midsole.  It's so minor that they'd probably qualify as firsts to other bootmakers.

                                HI
                                I'll need new heels for my Wescos. Anybody have a source for Vibram 700 heels in Natural?
                                Need what I believe size"12.

                                Thanks

                                  Like these, just in natural, not black?

                                  Panhandle is a great place, and they might be able to get some.  If you want, I can give them a call and ask.  They don't ship internationally, but I can toss the heels in an envelope and send them your way.  I need to order some stuff from them, so it's no big deal.

                                    Yes just those. But in natural (thats very dark Brown).  If they don't have then, I think I can live with Black ones.

                                    I could take 2 pairs, if that's not too much trouble,

                                      Just pulled the trigger on my first pair of wescos (factory seconds). Hope they fit! Will post up pics when they come in.
