WESCO

Woah

Would have ordered a pair but 155 bucks for shipping is simply ridiculous…

[Matty123]

Wait what?! That’s stupid. 550 for shoes. 150 for shipping? That’s over  a 1/4 of the shoe cost!

[jay-cy]

YES! And getting them through the customs adds another 10% and then another 19% (duties and taxes) so these would end up close to 950 bucks…

If anyone out there is on the fence about the custom last option through Wesco I am here to tell you that it is worth every penny and more. Even if you only plan on one pair of wescos, get the custom last. Just  started wearing my custom boss on a daily basis and they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever worn. Followed by Wesco Romeo. Which aren’t custom lasted. Thank you that is all

Agreed. I’ve always struggled to find shoes that fit as a big footed man and Wesco has been the solution for me.

5 day long wears.

Those are dope Matty! How do you like the shaft height?

Thanks Brock. I love the  look of the height and function for me. I have short big calves so anything higher would probably be uncomfortable . 9” might be ok but 10 or 11 would be way too much. My one issue is the sole. I don’t believe it’s non slip. And if it is, it’s no wear near the nonslip level of the raptor sole.

The standard Vibram #100 isn't oil resistant (non-slip). You have to go with the #100F (same sole design, different chemical composition), it comes with an upcharge from Wesco. The Raptor soles are non-slip.

Noooow u tell me

Sorreeeee….

It’s great in Norway for the ice because the lugs catch on any bit of grit, stone or ripple, but oil not so much. I’ve always been tempted to try the mini lug or raptor on sheet ice, but I don’t think anything other than spikes works on that in reality.

Yep, as someone who works on oil covered floors, you want the 100F. Even those need the claws roughed up a bit for maximum traction in heavy oil

So one walk through the snow and the dye had come off the sole and heel Lifts. Is this normal?

[jdl1279]

My Boss are exactly the same where the dye and snow is concerned.

Thanks bro. Funny thing is I was torn between brown and natural. Now I’ve had both

[jdl1279]

No problem. I had similar thoughts when mine turned out such, since neither my Warrens or Jobmasters did. One of those had been coated with oil before they saw snow, and the other aren't really great for winter though. I'd always assumed it was actually salt exposure
