@Bluegrass:

Watch that 2nds site! I swear it feels like stealing if you happen to find something you like in your size.  A buddy of mine just got a pair of brown domain boss boots that spec'd out over $600 for ~$300.  I personally "stole" a pair of brown packers for ~$280.  My experience has been the blemishes are barely noticeable and typical of the wear and tear you might get in any case after some normal use.  Just saying…

I'll suggest the 2nds site as well. I picked up what I assume are the IH/Wesco Brown Roughout Foot Patrols for $280. There's a scuff on the lining on one of the boots which shouldn't ever cause any issues. There was another pair of Burlap Roughtouts that I really considered as well.

@Chris:

Right now they've got a pair of Foot Patrols in my size in Burlap rough out.  I go to look at them every day, and I'm still not sure whether I'll be disappointed or relieved if they get sold before my self restraint cracks.

You are a strong man…

Boots and dogs - 2 of my favorite things 

These are my Packers, built like tanks with the standard brown leather.

Very nice!!!
The shape looks great, I am so glad because my next pair gonna has the same MP toe. But with a black christy

[Quoise]

I think that's the western toe, which comes standard on the packer.

MP with Vibram Christy! I'm interested to see what that combo looks like.

Yes, standard Packer/Western toe…

Still looks good

It looks good

@JCMx800 That double midsole looks kind of wack, but otherwise, totally awesome. What leather did you get?

It looks a little bit off, you are right. I choosed single midsole and the black tie domain, 7" height, again nothing fancy, but will be a great BWC boot

Sounds like a good build @JCMx800 I'm jealous!

You can wear engineers, I am the jealous person

[superfuzz]

Anyone can wear engineers!

Actually my back has been all f-ed up so no engineers for me

They really dont suit me.
Strange, my back hurts when I wear Vans over a too long time and my back feels good when I put on my boots.

[superfuzz]

Honestly I don't know if the engineers hurt my back, it just seems to feel the best when I wear Birkenstocks or Blundstones.

I'm excited to see this combo too. Was thinking it might be nice with a 10" height. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any MP Packers above 8"…

Does anyone know if the Armortred or Christy soles get proportionally thicker/thinner as they go up or down in size? My Wesco boots are small, so if the thickness is consistant though all sized they might be crazy chunky.

I love  the black and olive Wescos in the Thailand trip. What is wrong with me?? :o

[Giles]

They will be available for IH UK in a couple of months…..

[Finkster]

Nice … very nice!
