Ordered them back in April. Had a little bit of a delay as Wesco was shut down for a week or so.

[Jett129]

I think they came out great. Really happy with them!!!!

[jdl1279]

Looks good! My only word of caution is that the black oil tan will bleed a little from the rough side when wet. It's normal if you experience it as both pair of my boots with this leather have

[Jett129]

Thanks for the heads up.

[jdl1279]

No problem. It washes without much issue

Cool build…..

Very nice… I like the match between the straps and the stitching.

[jdl1279]

Interesting build for sure

Very nice pair of boots!

im curious which sole you all feel is the most versatile? I live in the northeast US and we have the full brunt of all four seasons. i need a sole that it is good in snow and ice as well as mud and dirt. thanks guys.

[jdl1279]

Easily the 430, though the 100 isn't a bad choice either

What JD said. For a year round boot the 430 is great. I have them on my year round boss. I have Viberg Smokejumpers with the 100 and it offers the best traction and longevity and raises you out if the muck, but it's a big chunky fekker so the 430 is the best of both worlds.

[jdl1279]

I have the 430, 100F, and 705. None of which are bad all around. The 100 is chunky, but no marking issues with them.

The 430 is just a perfect balance of form and function imo
