      I just put in a custom boot order to Wesco and have asked for a thinner heel a la this model because I feel it looks much better esthetically….nice call on this one G, it’s quite a beaut right out of the box!

      You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

        Thought I'll make a quik head to head comparison. The Build 5 I have since 3 month, the TBWE-PO is worn only a week. Maybe this helps someone who is undecided which one to get?

        With the grey card I tryed to get the colors as close as possible.

                    Can someone with these boots measure the total height of the heel for me? Trying to compare to my customs.

                    Thanks!

                      That's how they evolved so far…absolutly comfortable to wear...love them!

                      Delated the pic since it wasn't good. The two pics below show them better.

                              Any idea on the timescale for the restock of these?

                                None, but if you know your size, we can get a pair made for you.

                                  Good to know Giles, thanks.  I need to settle on my Wesco sizing first but once I'm happy with this, I'll be able to order.

                                    Hey G, I am in talks with Chris over at wesco about getting a pair of these made with a 10 inch height and some cinchers at the top (like an engineer style at the top).

                                    He said he had to check in to see if they had the material to make the heels….do you know if these require something special for the heel?

                                      The heel rubber is very thin on these boots, much thinner than their normal heel rubber.

                                        I just keep staring at the last remaining pair…on sale...in my size... taunting me.

                                        Last year I bought the rough out engineers as a "concession" to not being able to swing the cost of these. Now there they are, reminding me that immediate gratification is a bittersweet pill...

                                        On a side note... anyone know if these run wider than the standard 1950s engineer cut?

                                          Hey @appfaff

                                          The IHWE-PO is built on the #65 which compared to the majority of the other lasts runs about 1/2 a size larger in the length. In regards to width on the #65 it very similar to the MP95 which across the board feels very standarised, apart from the heel pocket which is slightly wider. When compared to a 1950's cut I couldn't tell you, I would have to have a word with @Chris at Wesco who may be able to shed some light here…

                                            Thanks @Chesson - the way my enabling mind read this was: these are the same if not a little larger than the 1950s engineer with MP toe…

                                            That makes resistance even more difficult!
