you can order a measuring kit from the IH crew.

That's an 8E(E?)… So they might look wider... I have weird feet (that actually might need surgery one day)...

I can only URGE y'all to get these... Or any Wescos... Two pairs deep and I heavily prefer them over Vibergs or Tricker's... IH x WESCO = world's best fucking footwear.

[Giles]

Well, they are made on Alex's last, but when the "fucked up" pair (yours) were put up on the Wesco Specials page, that's what Chris approximated them to…..More people know what 8EE means than "Alex's foot size"....

[Seul]

I'm sorry - I didn't know that… They really fit like a dream though, so next time I'll just ask for the Alex Last ey 

[Giles]

I would, he (well I) paid for it, you can use it for nowt…..

@Giles:

Next time I'm in Gosport or meet Alex on some event I'll have to take a closer look at his feet. Size 8 is mighty small for someone so tall, especialy considering the fact, that Giles wears size Bigfoot (yes, I tried on your boots and they where mindboggeling large  ).

@giles when do you pick up your white kloud boots? Can’t wait to see what you chose

Hi Guys!

I'am planing in getting a custom Boss or a Packer, right now I'am torn between the two styles. But have questions regarding the Packer, the Boss pics are just to show what I'am thinking about.

The Boss are close to the IH offering, but has the thicker rubber on the heel, would take the brass vintage buckel from IH, one is the Vibram 705 the other has the 100F

The Packer if I understud it corectly I can get with the pointy toe like the Boss has, right?

[marlin]

Sorry accident…I will coontine in a moment!

[marlin]

The Packer if I understud it corectly I can get with the pointy toe like the Boss has, right?

On the Wesco site I found this pic…this is the pointy toe right?

I configured this

But would like to get a 2 lifts lower heel with the pointy toe from the Boss. I can't configure it on the site, but should be possible on special rquest, right?

I really like the design of the Viberg/IH Smokejumper

Did you try reaching out to Chris at Wesco,or ,also reachable ,through the forum?

Just have @Alex or @Giles help you with the build.

You are in Europe, so they are your Wesco reps 100%

I just had @Alex help me with a build, and it was easy, and very fast.

Good luck - and Packers come with the “Motor Patrol” as stock I believe - Boss is the more rounded toe if I understand correctly

@marlin  the light colour boots that you like look like Packers on a Jobmaster last to me. I would say they are quite close to the IH/Viberg Smokejumpers in many ways.

You should probably get in touch with Giles or @Alex  to discuss custom variations. They are Wesco’s European retailer and know how to get a custom order done.

@Appfaff:

Also Adam is correct here I believe. The packers have essentially the same toe as your brown IHWE-5 (the Motor Patrol toe), whereas the standard Boss toe is similar to the standard Jobmaster last.

[neph93]

One more thing, the heel on the Smokejumpers is about the same height as the heel on your current pair of Wesco boss and the standard Packer/Jobmaster heel. Dropping the Packer heel might change the balance of the boot drastically which maybe why it isn’t offered in the Boot Builder tool.
