So , I’m usually a Visitor on most forums and really just take without giving back! It’s a new year and well , I’ve got shit to show and say!!!
Anyways , love this forum and love me some Ironheart and wescos, just put an order in with Kyle at bakers also. Pair of engineers , Blue/ Black cxl with typical upgrades. Looking forward to them!!! Here are a few I have ( there are others) lol
The main reason I love this forum is I realized I’m not the only one with a sickness for these quality goods!!! -
Ok I felt really bad by not putting my oldest pair up.
They go well with LV don’t ya think?

Thanks for sharing @J-diddy.
Nice Wescos you have and can’t wait to see the new ones.
I love Kyle and I love Bakers. They have always had top notch service and have always taken very good care of me.
Yes he has always been top notch and great customer service as you said. He even went as far as to track down the dark navy cxl for me and shipped to wesco.

Those are fucking amazing. Wow, how old are they?
Yeah thanks , honestly I’m not sure but it was my first pair so guessing 15-20 years or so. Had them resoled
Once. They have stuck around , I’ve had a few come and go but these bad boys are mine forever! They have seen some shit!!!! Literally

Great post @J-diddy ! I'll take the opportunity to ask you several questions.
Great to see your three engineers lined up to allow comparison of toe types. I generally like the low profile toe engineers but I've started considering the other ones as well. What does Wesco call the three types of toe profile? I may take the plunge this year… Related question, do you take the same size regardless of toe type? Do they fit you the same?
Also, are these all custom orders? I see all three have uninterrupted leather heel stack...which I REALLY like. But I usually see heel stacks with the rubber sole cutting through the heel stack.
Your last boot, the olive LTT is beautiful. Would you mind sharing the build details for it? Is it a custom order? Do you size the same on the LTT as the engineers?
Apologies for so many questions but your post hit on several of my Wesco desires!

@motojobobo I’ll take some of the pressure of @J-diddy … [emoji1]
To get the uninterrupted stack on a Wesco you need to go with the Vibram #705 sole (there are other soles that do this but that’s the option Wesco use).
Wesco have four basic toe shapes on their pull-on boots, the standard Boss (which you can also get in the «bump toe» variant, I think the boot to the left may be a bump toe Boss), the Motor Patrol (which is possibly the low profile toes seen in the middle), the Harness toe (squared off) and the Western toe (used on Wesco Morrisons). All are available for custom Boss builds.
Sizing between lace ups and pull ons is tricky but the Jobmaster (the LTT boots) and standard Boss sizing should be the same. Some people might need a wider boot with the MP or western lasts although which leather you choose may influence this as well.
Check out Wesco’s website, they have a decent build tool which shows you most of the custom options.
