G , I´ve always wondered, what´s the story behind that "thing" on the upper of the nose of those Wesco Boots. Is it decoration or does it have a function or what?. To be honest I like the boots more without it. They are nice boots, that´s for sure!
It's a removable thing to protect the boot and distribute lacing pressure. Called a kiltie. I don't like them either, though I hate them less than I used to.
