WESCO

…took delivery of two pair of leather inserts from Wesco, size 12. Threw one pair in and it felt good, threw the second pair in and felt perfect! They're just shy of 1/8" thick individually and together once that leather pad forms to my heel and ball I think I'll be fine. Problem solved!

...thanks for the insert tip @Dmart.

Happy for you, enjoy the boots!

Finished up my pictures for the patina thunderdome. Glad to finally see some evo on them. I feel like it was slow the first few months.

Oh damn!! Those are sweet

LTT burlap rough out?

[Appfaff]

Thanks! Yes, LTT burlap RO, double mids, 700 sole but 2 heel lifts lower to make it a bit more balanced and sleek. Mix of khaki and white stitching, smoothout tongue for a little texture snd shade variant. Brass eyelets and hooks, no pull tab.

Overall, robust but super comfy out of the bag

That’s a good makeup. I’ve been thinking about getting something similar, but on raptor malt. Possibly for next years patina Thunderdome. Right now I’m focused on the natural Essex pair

Nice build Adam

Thanks team!

It’s a wonderful boot, but caught the unwanted attention from the Wife the second I stepped out this AM.. she said “damn those are nice!” A win and a loss

Oh yes, they worked out amazingly well…..

[Dmart]

Nice boots! And I am still waiting for mine  @Chesson any update maybe?

[goosehd]

@Appfaff That has to be one of my favourite builds I've seen recently…

Can you take a few different pictures and share the spec's if you get a chance?

[Chesson]

@Dmart I chased a pair yesterday that are just awaiting soles and the order was placed 3 days before yours so I am quite confident that when this pair is ready yours will follow suit. Ill drop you a message as soon as I know more.

[Dmart]

Thanks @Chesson , appreciated!

[Appfaff]

Thanks @Giles - I agree, the whole "balancing" trial worked great, and they are super comfy and not quite an heavy as a true double mid on 705s and the extra heel lifts.

@goosehd - very kinda words sir - here are some pics. They are boots, so a "tailgate" photoshoot is what they got in my office parking lot lol
