IHWE-ALEX-BLK - 7" Black Tie Domain Toe Cap Boot

[Nik]

Any thoughts of these being made with horsehide?

Not until you mentioned it

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.

Sorry for not being clear, thanks @neph93 for pointing it out. I am in fact having my own custom pair built, but I love the IHWE-ALEX-BLK that I have so I did not want to change much.

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?

As a UK resident you can order a custom Wesco build through IHUK. Get in touch with Alex, Giles or Chesson to discuss your options and have a look here:

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.

What size did you end up with?
