They look awesome!

Don't know…mine still aren't broken in yet

Congrats! Wear some long socks. I made the mistake of wearing mine with sneaker socks. Rubbed wrong and cut my shin lol. Glad the custom fit worked out for you too

Just wear em round the house like i am. Way too hot here in NC

I'm sure it will be ok. The last month goes faster than the other 3 haha

Custom fit worked awesome for me. I had heard some horror stories, but maybe they just didn't do it right. Wear some thick wool socks and keep ur pencil completely vertical. They send u a measuring tape- make sure ur measuremnt is from zero not the end of the tape. Everything should be fine

I think base price is 450 then every option or deviation from normal you add is extra. Custom fit is $100 custom buckles is like $25 or $35. Shipping $20. Black fire leathet fee, 10" height fee, lining fee, black stitching fee, etc… It adds up fast. They were really 840 but then shipping $20 and i bought a bottle of silicone protectant and extra insoles was another $20 so 880 total.

Yeah is a lot, but when u consider they will rebuild them almost brand new for $200 is a deal. That's one thing that definitely makes wescos appealing.  I don't like viberg engineers except for one pair and they were like 1500

The narrows cost like 1600 lol.

Like those narrows. Mine cost 880

I don't remember. I sent for the custom fit form first. Then i emailed the customer service after i got the form. They said it was ok, and gave me an address to send the buckles too. then i sent in the custom fit form and the order form at the same time. Then about a week later i got an email that my order was accepted and they charged my card.

@Lucifer:

How big are those largest ones?

Same ones i have on mine. Go back a page and u can see how they look

Don't know. Maybe it's just who u talk to. I saw a brown pair on vintage engineer boot blog, and ordered mine

You'll be impressed when yours arrive. These are mp toe, imbetween regular and western

Ok guys, i'm in luv. Are you all ready?

Mine shipped today. Be here next week

Mine should be here in 2 weeks

@joesaintjohn:

I saw a pair of WESCOS in the latest edition of Heritage Post, and I really loved them. How do these price/quality compare with White's and Viberg's?

Price depends on what u want 400-1000. Wescos aren't fashion boots. They are tanks. They are the most rugged and durable engineer boots u can buy

Lol

I wanna see the boots period. Esp with blue stitching

Well they told me the black fire is the same thickness as their other leathers except the black tie so i'm ok with the stiffness. They'll give in eventually.

Wesco only uses roller buckles in japan, but you can provide your own. Here is the kind i got. You have to order them from japan. http://mydenimlife.com/blog/whats-in-a-buckle/

You can check them out at the link. They were only about $30
