      I especially wanted a thin heel rubber so that the heel as a whole consisted of more leather.  But it ended up being thinner than I originally intended….

          Giles, I tore through the heel rubber pretty quickly, so I had them replaced with a thicker 10cm piece. We see how this works out.

              @Irrku Paska what brand did you use? Did you get a thicker half sole too?

              They look great!

                          fantastic boots @Dstauffer - i have loved these since they debuted.

                          They truly are the best boot for IH jeans I believe. Since all my IH jeans have a 8.75-9.5 Hem, a chunky boot like this is ideal.

                          Maybe One day a pair will slip onto my feet 🙂

                            This boot has become my everyday wear. I absolutely love everything about it from the last to the half sole, to the heel height. The roughout is on a level all its own. It is amazing to watch water just roll right off. Similar to a windshield after a fresh coat of rain-x.

                            Have not been a PO guy in the past. This boot has changed that.

                                  Due to wear, I am noticing the boot shaft opening seems to be a little looser/saggier…Nothing major, but sometimes my jeans can catch the top and sit a bit funky...

                                  ....Anybody with any tips suggestions on how to snug that up a touch?

                                    I think it's a pretty common issue with these "lower" shaft boots.  It happens to me, and I just think "OK, I'll do an @UnTucked now then"

                                      I figured that was the case, still probably the best pull-on boots I've owned….

                                      So I was trying to think outside of the box here and I actually ended up reaching out to chris at wesco and he is going to put in a top strap for me similar to what you would on engineer boots. We think this should remedy the issue fairly well.

                                      I am sending them off next week and will post some pics once I get them back.

                                          yeah, I guess based on the height it would be ankle….But I think its gonna turn out really well.

                                          In the pic below you can see how the top strap really cinches up the top of the shaft.
