@Stuart.T re. our short discussion on the RW thread, here are some examples of Wesco Boss/Morrisons with either lowered logger heels or Christy soles, taken from Wesco Japan's IG feed. You should check out Wesco's boot builder tool for custom options, https://www.wescoboots.com/builder/MensCustomBoot.aspx?id=Boss although fair warning, it's a rabbit hole…

@neph93 thanks man, appreciate that. I really like the last pair of boots. That sole Is a good compromise for me. I went on the boot builder last night and created a grail pair of boots…o it $925 without shipping to UK! That's an expensive mistake if fit is not right. I can see the merit in investing. There's no doubt they are well built boots and would do any job intended of them. I'm still on the fence (when that usually happens I fall off the fence and buy things anyway!).

$925? That's impressive

I just spec'ed an 8" version of that last black roughout boot you like without instep straps for $650.

Btw, the thing to do is to order through Giles or Alex. They will quote you a full price including shipping and so forth.

you could try any Wesco boot from Giles store(off-line or online), check the correct size and fit, return it and then order(from Giles) any custom boot you want in the same size and last. In this case you would minimize the chance of wrong size or fit.

Damn you bastards. Stop taking away any excuses I could use. I'll give you my wife's number and maybe YOU can clear it with her!

This is in the forum membership fine print: “As I was once enabled, so shall I enable thee…”

It says nothing about responsibilities towards other members infinitely better half’s, although there is a thread for that. You seem a thoroughly decent chap however and that thread is a gateway to dark arts and dire deeds...

But those burlap rough out boots were worth it, weren't they?

You mean mine? Oh hell yes. I have no problem paying what custom Wesco’s cost given what you get.

I did the try on boot but the problem was I ended up keeping the try on boots and now I’m thinking of jumping in on one of the 100th anniversary boots. :o

@neph93 I feel predated. I like it. Show me the way to the darkest precipices of the IH universe.
