      Does anyone have any experience with a the custom fit kit that wesco offers?

      If and when I do this I will most likely go
      Through IH.

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        Yep! I've done it twice. Once for the initial custom fit, and another time for an update about 5 years later. Best decision I've ever made regarding footwear. I own 4 pairs of Wescos.

          They are a custom job. Black roughout, harness straps with brass rings and the OG bump toe.

          They sound awesome! Do you have any pics?

              My last pair are black roughout,you’re going to love them. I almost went with harness rings,but since my other ones have them I went with buckles.

                Thanks! They’ve been breaking in nicely. They were a bit tough on the widest part of my foot for a while but have really mellowed out. Here’s some photos after a few months of wear. I try to get them on my feet at least once or twice a week.

                            My Axebreakers arrived Thursday. All I can say is wow! They fit like a glove right out of the box. Snug in all the right spots. The problem with Wescos is that I'm always thinking about what I'll get next.

                            @brobles Your pair looks good with some wear. Between you, me, and a friend in my town that makes three pairs in AZ. Badass!

                              That is a problem. I've already sent an email to Chris asking about relasting my first pair on the same last as my new boots.

                              @brobles Your boots are stupid good. So gorgeous!!

                                Yeah I just pre-ordered my 3rd pair of Wescos (the FP6es discussed here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=12675.0)

                                Knowing your size in Wescos is more dangerous than deciding to fight a grizzly bear with a small plastic spoon. I love the versality, the quality, and the comfort.

                                And wolfie: that leather is amazeballs.

                                  So dangerous!! Can't wait to see your new boots too 🙂

                                  I really wanted a pair of brown pull-on boots to complete my wardrobe. These probably won't come off my feet for a while.

                                    Well, I'm ready for my third pair of Wescos now. This time in the Boss flavor. What are everyone's favorite black leathers? I love the horsehide but I'm not sure I want them to go brown as they scuff… So stock black or black tie domain?

                                        Look what showed up at my house this afternoon!

                                        Beautiful build @Palmer .Was wondering what Morrison looks like in BT. Is that the MP toe?
                                        Stock black is heavier than BD, and I believe you can polish Bd where the stock black is oiled

                                        Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                                        Well, I have others.

                                            @steelworker Thanks! I love those boots. It's the stock 10 inch Morrison with the western toe and whatever the western last is. I got fitted by Chris last time I was in Portland and fell in love with the Morrison as soon as I saw it. They were quite snug for the first couple weeks but at this point they're feeling pretty good.

                                            My buddy has the stock black Boss boots and the leather feels quite a bit more substantial than my British Tan boots. At this point I'm leaning more towards the Domain leather because I like the shine but I need to think on it for a few more days.

                                            @Jett129 I do like roughout but for my first engineer boot I want to keep it classic. I've been thinking about a burlap roughout Hendrik down the road after I can save some more cash. Gotta collect 'em all.
