IHWE-FP-BLP - Iron Heart Int'l x Wesco® - Rough-Out Boot - Burlap. The "Foot Patrol"
-
@Bobcat-Sig Yeh, similar toe profile to the Guildsman and the tow will hold its shape - i'd say almost ideal for smart casual or daily office wear
-
@Ross Much appreciated! Thank you.

How are you fellas (and ladies?) treating these boots?
I know they aren't suede, but roughout, instead. My thought woudl be to treat them with some sort of boot/suede-specific even if there's a small risk of the leather darkening a slight bit. I know both Obenauf and Bick offer a product.
What do you recommend to keep the boots looking sharp?
-
@Bobcat-Sig I know there's a few different products around, but honestly when it comes to rough-out i personally think all you need is a stiff bristle brush to scrub the dirt off every so often and that's about it...one of rough-out's big advantages is easy maintenance
-
Last question (probably?) what should I expect as US buyer now that these boots have exceeded the $800 USD de minimus threshold for import duties? What should I expect to pay and what's the process for receiving such an item when import tax is due?
Have my fellow US-based IH buyers gone through this?
I appreciate the help

@Nick Great pics!

These showed up earlier this week. Stoked!
Based on the date stamp, they’ve been sitting on the shelf for two years, but I suspect in short order that they’ll soften up. It was apparent that the break-in will be short. And it will be an investing experience with the burly sole and relatively soft leather uppers.
I look to darkening these things up with some wear.
