I'm getting ready to put a custom Wesco boot order in. I'm getting a pair of black tie domain 6" Morrisons with raptor soles, round toes, extra toe cap, and buckskin lined. What I am wondering is: is the added strap a good idea or do they stay on okay without? Also, please suggest any advice or worthwhile experience you might have regarding a custom Wesco boot order. Thanks.

I don't follow basketball at all. But they have that kind of stuff at malls, at shoe stores, and hat places like Lidz.

Even the old players? Awesome! Thanks

For an older player you might just have to buy that online. I can try and find you one if you don't have any luck.

Same shoe, just imagine the raptor sole and no heel.

I'm jazzed that Chris suggested the round toe… because I don't like pointy cowboy toed boots at all. I also this heels like that are very uncomfortable on my flat feet. I'm so stoked to get these. I have to wait for him to send me an order form though, so I can measure my feet.

So it’s a regular boss last with a Morrison upper? If so it’s a similar build to the IH burlap shorties.
The instep strap can be used to tighten the instep if necessary but if you have a normal instep it shouldn’t be a problem to drop it.
If you want to go for a real hybrid boot you could get harness straps. They are designed for ankle protection.

Yeah I'm real curious to see how much the OD process shrinks these up.

Me too! I’m locked and loaded for a jeans purchase. Just eating for the size chart on these for the fins decision.

could somebody pls explain to me what 'GQ insider' means on IG? Is this a hipster hashtag thing that users use to solicit free shwag in exchange for advertising?

Free advertisements for GQ and the brands they push.
But, likely MOST people using the hashtag only use it because it's a popular hashtag, so it makes it more likely for people to come across their pictures… That brings with it more likes and views, which makes you more "popular", and the more popular you are the more likely that you can leverage that for free schwag

I've decided on (and bought) a surplus pair of Wesco Romeos with the raptor sole. They had a pair in a 10 1/2 E for only $169… What a fortuitous find!
I was a little hesitant to drop a grand on a pair of boots I had zero experience with. Also, I'm itching to build a new gaming PC that is gonna cost a small fortune. So this was a great compromise.
The Romeos kind of look like this stock image below and were $100 cheaper than being sold online. I highly suggest going to the discount boots section of the website and seeing if they might have something there for you. I was all set to put in my order today and wanted to see the 3 different kinds of leather in pictures, so I went there and found the Romeos.
