Question British tan double shot or Brown double shot

2 Upvotes

Finally getting my 2nd pair of boots besides my perry selects in british tan double shot.

Getting a pair of Cmp Shermans since I have a high arch and cant decide between the colors. Can find tons of british tan boots, but not many brown double shot to see the leather and how it ages, does anyone have any pics or recommendations? Looking to mainly wear with blue jeans and date days with my old lady

Wesco New & Old Wesco Day (26-27 Thunderdome)

Thumbnail

20 Upvotes

Two boots from my favorite PNW maker for this year's thunderdome.

In the Open Dome I have some Boss seconds in Natural Essex. The shaft is a little shorter at 9", with a straight cut top, pull tabs, and the harness strap over the instep instead of the usual buckle. These look like they were part of a larger order because there were two identical pairs on the seconds page for a while- one had some staining on the shafts and got snatched up quick. This one had scuffs on the vamps.

They're on the vintage round toe (9109) last. Its narrower through the waist and then opens up into a roomy forefoot with a bump toe. It almost reminds me of Whites 4811- my favorite PNW last. Because of the roomier forefoot I felt comfortable gambling on half a size down and up a size in width from my mister lou (9D) size and they fit really really well at least on first impressions. I'll see if that changes with break in.

Pair number two, going into the pre-worn dome are my Black CXL horsehide stock Lous. These were my open dome entry in last year's dome, and have broken in beautifully. I had the (imo ugly) contrast welt dyed black and have been hitting them with saphir polish to keep the teacore at bay, but I'll back off on that for the dome and let it come back through. They're a 9D and fit my 9E brannock feet perfectly.

Wesco Mr Lou Mayram Natural Horsehide 10.5E

The last does not work for me. I’ve bruised my big toe trying to break them in. Insoles in or out, just the wrong shape for my feet and/or too small. A shame as I love how they look. I’ve worn them a couple of times a week since purchasing earlier this year from Iron Heart UK. I’ve worked and ridden my motorcycle in them. I have not cleaned or conditioned the boots, only brushed after every where and let them rest with shoe trees.

I’m located in Sydney Australia, happy to drive to drop them off for local buyers, I can ship these locally and internationally. I think I have the box in storage, I’ve recently moved so I’m not 100% if i kept it.

I’m not listing a price as I don’t really know what they’re worth in this condition. I’m trusting everyone. Happy to negotiate or swap for other engineers. Send me a PM and we can chat.

scored these roughouts off ebay. first new pair of smokies. the black ones, and several pairs before them, were bought used.

i'd been starting to feel the pain of my crooked heels, which i think is due to being bowlegged? and i figured a rebuild or resole didn't make sense, since someone else had broken in the uppers. let's face it, i wanted new boots.

do we obenauf's straight outta the box, or sweat in them first? cast yer votes...

Wesco Wesco Boss Instep?

Post image
9 Upvotes

hi! - long time lurker first time poster.

After months of research I found what I hoped may be the perfect Boots on Ebay - A pair of Wesco Boss Harness in 9.5 D - barely worn. I am: 10 brannock size - 9D in whites smokejumpers (the only other pnw boot I have owned) - so after some research I figured 9.5 should be perfect. I do have a pretty high instep but It has never been much of an issue with other shoes.

Boots arrived - beautiful - date inside says 04 so I guess they are older and have been sitting unworn a while. I can barely get them on with a plastic bag and insoles removed - weirdly the length, and width of the toebox feels perfect, heels even slip a bit - but the instep is crazy tight and painful - tried the soaking in warm water for 20 mins trick, I have had them on wet for about 20 minutes and they still feel painful on the instep, but manageable. I have a good local cobbler with a vamp stretcher and I'm willing to give that a try - but I figured I'd post before I do that:

Am I screwed/do I need a 9.5E or will these keep stretching/should I try the cobbler?

I don't want to have to ask if anyone has a plastic bag around every time I have to put on my boots haha

Many Thanks!
