Superfuzz, thx for that. Any idea how the Jobmaster last compares to the Smokejumper and SD lasts? I have some softoe MP Boss so at least I know they'd fit, but if I could find a middle ground between dressy and workboot (ala a Semi Dress) I'd likely opt for that.

@superfuzz:

you can also get a jobmaster with packer upper

My dream boot.

[superfuzz]

Seawolf, do yo follow WESCO on instagram? They posted pics of that make up but with a perforated cap toe. I think my next pair of boots will be those without the cap toe. Gotta save up some money first!

That's actually what I have planned.  I was happy to find out that Wesco will do this for no extra charge.  I've always had a weird hatred of that heel counter/vamp overlap.

[superfuzz]

Chris what's your build gonna be?

[Friday]

imo a simple 10 or 6 inch with 430 vibram, semi lace to toe , brass hooks and eyelets plus brown or green stitching would be… beautiful

[superfuzz]

Friday, I'm thinking about a build like that but 8" with Packer upper and that new brown leather. Hope to order this summer to get them for next fall.

[Chris]

8", packer style upper, Vibram 100 sole, regular toe, brass eyes & hooks, burlap leather.  Pretty ordinary, really, but i just wanted a simple boot that will take a beating and last forever.

That Burlap…..

[Chris]

Yup, after I saw it on your pair, it moved to the top of the list.

[superfuzz]

That'll be a fine pair of boots!

Just got off the phone with Chris at wesco; 7" MP toe Packer is no problem.

I'm in!! Well, there's the whole money thing to sort out first

[superfuzz]

Bretro, do it! I want to see that new leather!

[Bretro_]

Cheers bro! Think I'm sold.

Gonna send my MP engineers for a toe stretch; and will ask for a sample of that leather.

Will update you guys with my thoughts and pics when I get the sample

[superfuzz]

Good idea! A stretch really helped my MP bosses.

[Bretro_]

Dude,

Mine are killin me… Look at where my big toes protrude on mine

[superfuzz]

I can't really see your toes in that pic. What jacket is that?

[Bretro_]

Haha, sorry bout that. I'll update the photo

The jacket is a modified Aero Dustbowl. Leather jackets are my first true love, followed by boots

[Bluegrass]

yeah the toes look too tight, ouch! hope the stretch works out…

[injunjack]

forget the flattoe frenzy and buy bumptoes

Me thinks that people believe that ALL old engineer boots had flat toe, but they had soft "bump" toe that then during the use collapsed, creating "flat toe" which all who wear engineers because of the hype crave for.

I might be wrong though….
