      what is the leather on those?  Fire or smooth??  Nice - really liking the MP toe.

        Yeah, the gentleman wore 'em just enough for nice wear and tear to develop.  They're the smooth leather.  Contemplating having the Okuyama sole treatment, but kinda like them as-is.

        Just a simple man with a simple plan.

          I'm sending my Boss boots back to WESCO to have the toes stretched to make them a bit higher, the MP toe box is just too tight on my big toes when I wear the boots with the insoles from WESCO. They fit fine when I wear them without insoles. So sending them back for stretching, hopefully that will do the trick.

            Inspired by Davito's recent pics of his Lone Wolf engineers, I just ordered a custom pair of brown roughout Boss boots.

            Specs:

            All brown roughout
            10" height
            unlined
            standard Boss toe (soft toe box)
            single midsole with natural edges
            Vibram 430 sole
            standard heel height
            instep straps 2" longer
            custom roller buckles (from VEB)

            With the $50 discount these were pretty reasonable. Now I just have to wait 4 months to get 'em.  :-\

            -A

              I'm really digging this pair of worn in Jobmasters. Next time I need a pair of work boots I might get something like this.

                  Oh shit. I've not seen a pair of semi-lace to toe or roughout boots that have really done it for me but those are inspiring…almost everything about that pair works for me. I would only want them cut a little taller, maybe 7-8"

                      I don't know about Wesco sizing because I got the custom fit. But I think Demonito and others have said they are pretty true to size. G might know…

                              Wesco runs pretty true to size, length and width. I only have stock boots but have never had a sizing
                              problem.

                                After measuring my foot tracings and using the brannock device (both came to an 11E) I ordered my Wesco Jobmasters in that size. I am very happy with the fit. If I wanted a really snug fit I think a 10.5EE would have worked, but I didn't want to risk it and have to fight with boots these tough. The lace to toe allows for more control over the fit if its a little large, IMO and I have not experienced the toe rubbing that others have reported.

                                My feet are wide and round, most toe boxes feel too narrow for me. Wescos are the comfiest boots I've ever owned, not that my collection rivals some of the others here though.

                                I hope Wesco will have a booth at the Toronto Motorcycle show this year and I'll be able to get custom fitted by them there. Who knows!

                                    Yessir, just not noticed before. Too busy drooling over bikes.

                                    I haven't got a response on their attendance for the 2014 show. Definitely going to be going either way.

                                        Show is February 21-23, 2014. I'll try and get a confirmation from Wesco. If they're doing custom lasts for free (with purchase of boots) I dont think I can pass that up.

                                          CLJ, what size are u in whites boots?  11E too?

                                          Im 9.5E in whites, not sure to take the same size in wesco jobmaster or go half a size bigger. (10E).

                                          I remember reading demonito saying go half size bigger cos wesco boot has insoles.

                                            Unfortunately I have not tried Whites boots on to know. The insoles that come with Wesco's are thin unstructured pieces of cushioned material. Did not change the fit that much. Did not stay in the boot, either.
