@northsouthdenimguy man those bubble toe natural I want so bad. Are they the ship john release from awhile back? I’m still mad at myself for not grabbing them

[northsouthdenimguy]

@hgering27

Yup SJ. Surprised I was able to get a pair. I usually like a flatter toe but these look really good.

[hgering27]

@northsouthdenimguy yeah I was about to buy them but I had a pair of lofgren natural at the time so I passed. But ended up selling those… I have those horween Essex coming this week and I’m really excited to see how those are in hand

[northsouthdenimguy]

@hgering27

I almost bought those but couldn’t justify with already having Brown CXL and Brown horsebutt. Share some pics when you get them, looking forward to seeing them.

Ugh I wish black bison was available for US customers. Would love to build a boot in that leather!

Black Fire
Horween Black Horsehide
Navy leather

I love my Horsehide Boss Engineers. I'm wearing them here with my 634S-B.

[XPender]

@Shane-B They look amazing! I have the same ones bought from you last year.
Have you treated them with anything yet?

Hey mate, thanks and glad to hear it. No, I've never cleaned or oiled my boots, but I should do it soon. I think I'll use Wesco Leather Boot Dressing Bee Oil.

Update on these. I took them camping over the weekend in an effort to break them in quicker. I put them through the wringer, and can say they are worthy of the hype. Although I don't suggest taking them hiking, it was one way to speed up the process. I wasn't originally sold on the idea of a heavy "work" shoe, but damn these are solid.

The toe cap version adds to the break in period. I got the roller magazine collab with the toe cap and they took awhile to break in. Seems like The Shop got their inspiration for theirs from Roller.

@Pinkpan they look great!

[kojimastreets]

@Pinkpan Those are so nice

[Shane B]

@Pinkpan Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Wesco owners in a US 8.5 and 9 would you be able to do me a favour and measure the length of your removable Wesco insoles? I’m trying to pin down the sizes of my two pairs, neither of which have the size marked. Thanks!

[northsouthdenimguy]

Well, rainy/Georgia red clay nastiness season has definitely started…

IH Germany two tone Morrison

[goosehd]

@northsouthdenimguy ...that red clay will make it three tone as that clay doesn't wash out easily.

[northsouthdenimguy]

@goosehd

I’m wondering that myself on that burlap , although probably won’t get much on it unless I miss step and go ankle plus deep, which I’ve been known to do. Plus this georgia red clay uncompacted is like quicksand.

[Bobcat Sig]

This question popped up in the Ship John thread, but perhaps it’s better asked here; have there been any Boss 7500 collabs in a brown rough out released with a Dr Sole half-sole? I know Ship John has the Derroll in the 7500, but is fitted with the V-Bar full sole. IH Germany has a custom engineer with a half-sole, though in V-bar.

Any insight from any of you afflicted Wesco engineer collectors?
