WESCO

I concurr that they wear out quickly. I typically get 18 months from a pair in rotation. I am fortunate to have 2 skilled cobbler shops within 10 minutes of me. Regarding comfort, I think footwear is about the most subjective thing around.

Sole is amazing. -
I’ve got a custom fit boss on order. Had to do it. My 9.5 4E fit amazing. I’m so looking forward to the feel of a custom fit boot.
Boss 8”
Black rough out
100 soles
Straps with gun metal rollers
Brown dyed soles.
I’m so pumped for them -
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying some wesco boots… how do they fit compared to redwing?... Do they stretch like red wing? Any help would be greatly appreciated -

The movement in the leather certainly varies according to weight. The oil tanned leathers are the heaviest and form to your feet after a while but don’t stretch as such. The domain leathers are in the middle and soften more markedly, the burlaps are the lightest and «stretch» or loose much more easily.
Size wise, I’m a US10.5 in RW and nearly all Wesco lasts. I’m a big D width so tend to go to E with Wesco boots made of the 7oz oil tanned for comfort.

Sole is amazing.Thanks Matty! Agreed! Wesco has quickly become my go to footwear! These are my first custom romeos and I’m loving them! Although the stock pair I own fits almost as perfect. Congrats on the boss build! They sound nice [emoji1360] can’t wait to see [emoji102]

Can someone tell me why it’s difficult to resole a boot that has a raptor sole?? I’ve read a few places that it’s difficult

I haven't heard that before. I have heard stichdown is a bit harder to resole than good year welt.
That being said if you find out let us know! I have 2 pairs of raptor sole and havent had them resoled yet. So im interested too

We have resoled plenty of them. The only instance I could see them being hard to resole would be if they are worn down past the 4-iron slip that we attach them with, and if they were a half-slip construction like our old Romeo's etc.

Thanks Chris! Now that you mention it I was reading about Romeos that were indeed half slipped. Thanks man! Any recommendations for cleaning Roughout?

How did Wesco Japan come about? Obviously, there's a market for Wesco Boots there, but i'm curious if it's a business partnership much like IHJP/IHUK.

@Giles have you received your romeo’s yet?
