WESCO

[Crit_Obs]

It's interesting how the Wesco site offers more than meets the eye - quite literally so, as you need to get creative to be able to custom-build a "Hendrik" or a "Johannes" and there might be more such models, that are there but you would never know by just looking around.

(first real post so mods feel free to move if I'm in the wrong place)

WESCO seemed to be having a sale on their factory seconds the last few weeks, and I picked up a pair of veg tan Boss's with a Vibram 700 sole for $140 delivered and these beauties for $95 delivered.  :o

According to the seconds label, the 'uppers lean back slightly' but nothing at all noticeable.

(pictures after a few days wear)

From a small amount of digging and this stamp, I think they may have been samples for the Japanese market?

They look great!

U wot, m8? ??? I have been eyeballing their seconds like every day and never caught a whiff of any sale activity.

Congrats on scoring what looks like an early candidate for ”deal of the year”!

I don’t think I’ve ever hit an ‘add to cart’ button faster

They have a few pairs of women’s size Morrison’s for $95 still but all the real steals are gone.

The Boss’s have some loose grain on one vamp and a few water stains but for $120 I couldn’t say no so I’ve been using them as my beaters to get a real patina going - I’ll be sure to post when they’re good and battered

Yeah I didn’t sniff any sale either. Damn it

Just wanted to share some of the Limited Edition 1939's in case you hadn't seen them….

[BloodnThunder]

The 1939's are beauties!

@nofunbadtimes  you may have stumbled across some of the best values on new boots

[neph93]

Very nice build AJ. Very stylish. Well done for going the extra mile with the lining.

[Matty123]

@Chris at Wesco was there a sale on the seconds list? I don’t know how I missed it.

[Seul]

@AdamJ - 100% stunnas.

[AdamJ]

Thanks gents @Seul @neph93

One more picture for luck, fresh off the press studio edition:

This, and assuming there was, this begs an auxiliary question: why the nerds around here were not notified.

[nofunbadtimes]

As far as I remember it was mostly Boss's and Morrisons and mostly in particularly small sizes (7 and 8's)

[neph93]

That time of year. These are going into their fourth winter…
