Saw one pic of these on your flickr rocket, amazing!!! If DS saw these he'd love them…
I have three pairs of Wescos but none as awesome as these.

@rocket:

not sure yet about the laces, might go wild with some paracord laces in the color of the thread, or some two-tone leather laces, we will see… just ordered the same size as I do for Red Wings fitting is pretty much the same US8 in both for me

Yeah same with me. 9E in most Red Wings and Wescos.

pretty sure DS like them  what models do you have?

[rocket]

NBHD x Wesco 2face black x navy

the NHBD price tag however is a totally different story and I'm not sure what is wrong with them 198,800円

Like that a lot….

[simonc]

love it.

[Blackheart]

rocket = I have the Boss motorcycle boots, the harness boots and custom Firestormers with yellow Kevlar
stitching. All standard black leather.

[rocket]

somehow I was expecting that you have these models 

[Blackheart]

The Boss boots were the only ones I really wanted until I started poking around on the Wesco site and
found their factory seconds page…The harness boots and the Firestormers were not seconds but from
cancelled orders so I got those two pairs very cheap. They weren't seconds.

[rocket]

cool, yeah saw the seconds section as well…

and even mine only a day old, pretty sure these are not my last ones... 

[Seul]

That's good to hear, mate… They might not be my style (hey you've seen me Diors ey: disregard my input!..  ) but they look ace on ya and I'm always glad when someone gets boots they love!..

[rocket]

thanks, how can I forget the Diors  ;), nah if you like them, I'm really happy for you as well, there is no need to be everyone's cup of tea, the only thing that matters is that everyone likes his own stuff and feel good with it…

[rocket]

@Giles:

Please publish full specs.  I need a pair…..

Not much more to add…  custom fit (essentially a 12E), lace-to-toe option, 10" in height, with optional (custom build stuff) brown leather lining, black kevlar stitching on upper and sole, .5 inch lower heel, Vibram 430 sole, and I forgot to list I got the leather half slip (for additional arch support) in my original post.  And they've already been treated with Obenauf's LP.

Glad you like them but I'm surprised you don't already have a pair or at least something very similar!  I spec'ed nylon laces, but I think I'll try some leather laces to see if I like that better, but I'm feeling the nylon and I like the color contrast with the awesome brown leather!  And these things seem to be the business - I bet you could put a stick of dynamite in one and it wouldn't blow!  (Not really, but they are proven to be tough as hell!)

Now all I need to do is suck it up and order some "Fat Boy" 634's to pair them and my White's and 1000 Mile Wolverines with!  Oh yeah, I need to pull the trigger on some Russell mocs as well!  So much cool stuff and so little $!!!!!

I'm all in….Thx
