IHWE-ALEX-BLK - 7" Black Tie Domain Toe Cap Boot
-
Sounds like a perfect starting fit to me. A little heel slip is entirely normal and in lace ups will occur due to the stiffness of the new leather and stitching in the uppers, heel cup and sole. The boot hasn’t started moving with you yet. As the the break in progresses it will diminish. The rest of it sounds great. You are now about 10km from heaven.
Thank you @neph93 That was pretty much my inclination but hearing it from you really helps out a lot. These boots are not a small investment for me and I want to make sure I get it right!!! 10km from heaven
:D!!!Let's see some pics @zhivago ! Glad you were able to score a pair that fit.
Thank you @Palmer for your kind advice, it really takes a village with me sometimes
I'll get some pics together in the coming days! These boots are just too beautiful to not photograph!! Cheers -
Any thoughts of these being made with horsehide?
-
I have a Steerhide pair in production at the moment, pretty much the same build with a few minor tweaks.
Hopefully here before Xmas
How will the steerhide version differ from the ones available now? Any other new boots coming in?

If I’m reading Adam’s post correctly he has a his own pair of custom made steerhide boots en route, as opposed to a production run for retail.
As for other boots coming in, I do not know.

Check out the Standard & Strange x Wesco Axebreaker. It's basically the same build with horsehide leather and speed hooks.

Thanks all, that's helpful.
The S&S Axe Packer does look quite close to what I would like to get. I am in UK though and would prefer to go through IHUK, anyway to do that? -

Hi All,
These boots are exactly what I would build from Wesco, although I might consider a diferent sole due to the climate I live in. I've been lusting over them for quite some time, they look unbelievable. Should have just pulled the trigger months ago.
There is a 9.5 still available. I know this has been beaten to death, but I have never had the opportunity to try on a pair of Wescos. I wear a 9.5D in Red Wing Iron Rangers, 10.5 in Danner Mountain Light with aftermarket hiking footbeds, and 10.5 in Vans. It seems from what I've been reading is that they fit similar to an Iron Ranger sizing? Without any other option than a 9.5 available, I need to make sure I nail the sizing.
Anybody with these boots have input for an informed purchase?!?!
Thanks!
Edit; answer found.
-
I think you should take the same size as danner. imo the boots size is a completely different pair of Redwing IR. they run true to size.

These arrived on my doorstep yesterday. So stoked! Fit is good, time to break in.
