  • RE: Wesco Foot Patrol

    ^My fears are confirmed…I must have strange feet that require awkward sizing, at least on Wesco's...Shame!

  • RE: Wesco Foot Patrol

    ^For those with the same size white's and wesco's…Do you have any issues with the toe, or are you getting customized fits with larger toe boxes?

  • RE: White's Boots

    Thanks guys, I'm really enjoying this pair. Even with the leather lining these boots haven't been hard to break in at all and there's been no discomfort (granted, I've only been wearing them 8 hours so far today). The honey lug is seemingly lighter than the normal #100 Vibram (despite being 10" these are more agile and don't hurt my knees compared with my 7" SJ's with the #100 sole which I definitely feel after a few hours) and isn't as clunky feeling. Regarding the "Hunter" moniker, this is an actual "Hunter" model that White's sells (http://www.whitesboots.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=449) which is different from the Baker's "Bounty Hunter". I believe the last to be the same as an SJ though, and these are indeed plain toe/no celastic.

    Damn mega, you're completely smitten with them! 😉

    I love my Wesco's, just wish I had that instant comfort that you're finding…Funny that I get that feeling with my White's but just goes to show everyone's mileage may vary and it's all dependent on personal comfort! (Sorry if I'm being a broken record!)

    Looking forward to updates Mega! As with others, I haven't had as much luck with toe comfort so I'm glad they work for you out of the box!

    Not to be redundant but damn, those Nomad's are so amazing, they'd be my choice if I were going for engineers that weren't Role Club.

    Welp, I finally sent my measurements in and am awaiting some leather samples…Making sure I get this order right so that I can buy a few more pair in the future 😉

    While I wait, here's a pair of 3 year old Rangers in Walnut:

  • RE: ALDEN

    I wore my 405's through an abusive two years straight as my daily work beater pair (including two Chicago winters, salt and all) and aside from needing a complete resole, haven't had any major issues with them. In that time however, I did go through 4 pairs of their waxed laces (which really do suck), and had some bending on the speed hooks which were easily fixed when I took them in for the resole. The leather is surprisingly durable and I honestly didn't take care of the boots at all in those two years!

    Thanks TH3515! I was intending on getting the Hathorn's for winter/crap weather boots as well but might just get some Bean Boots depending on the final bid price…We shall see!

    Thanks 4c! This forum makes it hard for me to keep my money in my wallet though, so many great builds out there yet but I've no justification to buy more… 😉

  • RE: White's Boots

    I seem to recall someone owning a pair of Hathorn's…Can anyone comment on sizing vs. the White's line? Wondering if I can get away with the same size...

    @superfuzz:

    I've never heard that leather were better than steel shanks. In general I've always heard that White's and Wescos were similar in quality. I'd say take the plunge and find out!

    The only time it's ever a factor that I've seen is with wild land firefighters. Steel shanks apparently have a tendency to heat up whereas leather doesn't have that problem. Aside from that, it's really up to preference as to which you prefer quality-wise (re: White's vs Wesco). For me, White's are comfortable for my flat feet with standard sizing; with Wesco's, I'd need to get properly sized/custom fitting to get it just right but since I've only owned factory seconds, I haven't had the opportunity. This means I have to buy inserts accordingly to compensate whereas my White's fit perfect out of the box. Your mileage may vary!
