I currently have a burgundy domain makeup that was a collab with Roller Magazine, . At the time, navy leather insoles were available.

I’ve noticed naturally when I have too much salt in my diet/summer, sometimes my feet would swell, making the Romeo’s feel tighter, no matter the socks I’m wearing. Same thing for any other shoe though.

Romeo do loosen over time; adding a toe cap makes the break in longer. It took me awhile for my break in but they’re comfy now (with toe cap). I wear mine working in a shop, errand, etc.

@derek111 said in WESCO:

Update on these. I took them camping over the weekend in an effort to break them in quicker. I put them through the wringer, and can say they are worthy of the hype. Although I don't suggest taking them hiking, it was one way to speed up the process. I wasn't originally sold on the idea of a heavy "work" shoe, but damn these are solid.

The toe cap version adds to the break in period. I got the roller magazine collab with the toe cap and they took awhile to break in. Seems like The Shop got their inspiration for theirs from Roller.

@northsouthdenimguy You got me thinking about swapping my leather insoles for Rose Anvil thin foam insoles as I’m getting older and I wear my Wescos a lot.

One thing that isn’t mentioned is socks. These can make or break a great fit on any engineer boot.

@Bobcat-Sig yeah my black chromexcel doesn’t have any support also. I think the fashion leathers are done like this on purpose.

I think it’s a moot point. Even my leather lined Boss shows the same thing.

My Wishlist of Wesco leathers to come back into production again:

Black Fire
Horween Black Horsehide
Navy leather

Ugh I wish black bison was available for US customers. Would love to build a boot in that leather!

Love my RWs!

Roller Magazine came out with another Romeo collab. Absolutely wild color.

Wesco Romeo roller magazine collab on this cool weather day finally.

My 740

I have a pair of mountain lights I got from Stumptown awhile back that are in size ee. They fight about a half size bigger in length. Very sturdy boots! I don’t wear them much unless the weather is bad.

Is black and brown bison leather only a choice for Wesco Japan or are we able to order that as well from Wesco?
