^^ Nice @rocket ! Your pics are always a surprise and a pleasure to look at. Wish I could be half as creative as you. Keep them coming! 

[rocket]

thanks for the kind words @motojobobo really just doing random when I see it. You can do that too, it’s easy.

Does anyone have suggestions for a rough out boot with a structured toe similar to RW Iron Ranger in style? I've tried the Lofgren service boot and while it is a beautiful boot, the to box isn't structured which makes it look more like a desert boot imo.any of the premium brands do something similar? I've had a browse and they all seem to have similar lasts.

Any pointers very appreciated

Ps @rocket nice shot of your pf flyers. They are comfortable shoes right? I still prefer them over cons 70s (and that they are owned by New Balance rather than Nike)

[rocket]

They are not bad, but I think the Cons 70s are more comfy…

@rocket I was able to get a pair of made in USA pf flyers, and just as 70s are a step up from cons, made in USA are a step up from standard of flyers. The leather lining, heavier footbed, and thicker canvas make for a very superior trainer. If you can source a pair in your size is say go for it!

gotcha, might gonna pick up a pair in case one comes across my path

Have you looked at the Redwing Rover rough out boot? Don’t know if those have a structured toe though

Luchesse’s.

@gaseousclay I wanted to try a step up from Red Wing level footwear. I've never had a problem with them, but having held boots by viberg and lofgren it is easy to see the merits of investing the extra money. Not something I thought I would hear myself say.

Don't know if you live in the States @Stuart.T  but Chris at Wesco will build any boot you like. In the UK I'd talk to Giles about Wesco

Wesco Jobmasters have a structured toe and can be ordered with a choice of safety toe boxes. Viberg’s workboot lasts (230 etc) also have a structured toe box.

@gaseousclay @steelworker @neph93  thanks for your thoughts guys. My viberg 1 of 1 engineer boots should finally be with me in a few weeks. I'm going freak them in then maybe work with Guy on another mto build. Wesco look good on some but for me they are just a bit to big alround.
