It's a relatively soft compound so moulds to the surface you are walking on to some extent…
This is what I’m thinking will help. Also that the small ribs will catch on whatever grit or ridges their may be on the ice. I have some pairs of sneakers that are better on ice than the luggiest of lugged soles.
(They will also look great on a pair of Morrisons…).

I just ordered some HH 10" regular toe Jobmasters with all Nickle eyelets. Just couldn't resist after seeing all those 100th Anniversary pic's.
Those sound sick. Please post pics when you get your hands on them. I’m considering a similar makeup. What was the up charge for horsehide?
I'll have them the middle of June when I return to the States, post pic's then. The upcharge was $125, kinda steep but still under $600 so all's good.

Not a bad upcharge considering the premium leather upgrade. Please post pics when they arrive.
I was on Instagram earlier and saw that Wesco will be replacing their standard brown oil tan with a lighter brown color. The following pic shows the current brown oil tan, chestnut replacement oil tan, and British tan domane for comparison.

The chestnut is beautiful !

Does anyone out there have any details about the special makeups for Wesco’s 100 year anniversary? There should be some preorders coming for a few different makeups.

@Stuart.T re. our short discussion on the RW thread, here are some examples of Wesco Boss/Morrisons with either lowered logger heels or Christy soles, taken from Wesco Japan's IG feed. You should check out Wesco's boot builder tool for custom options, https://www.wescoboots.com/builder/MensCustomBoot.aspx?id=Boss although fair warning, it's a rabbit hole…

@neph93 thanks man, appreciate that. I really like the last pair of boots. That sole Is a good compromise for me. I went on the boot builder last night and created a grail pair of boots…o it $925 without shipping to UK! That's an expensive mistake if fit is not right. I can see the merit in investing. There's no doubt they are well built boots and would do any job intended of them. I'm still on the fence (when that usually happens I fall off the fence and buy things anyway!).

you could try any Wesco boot from Giles store(off-line or online), check the correct size and fit, return it and then order(from Giles) any custom boot you want in the same size and last. In this case you would minimize the chance of wrong size or fit.

Damn you bastards. Stop taking away any excuses I could use. I'll give you my wife's number and maybe YOU can clear it with her!

This is in the forum membership fine print: “As I was once enabled, so shall I enable thee…”
It says nothing about responsibilities towards other members infinitely better half’s, although there is a thread for that. You seem a thoroughly decent chap however and that thread is a gateway to dark arts and dire deeds...

But those burlap rough out boots were worth it, weren't they?

I did the try on boot but the problem was I ended up keeping the try on boots and now I’m thinking of jumping in on one of the 100th anniversary boots. :o

@neph93 I feel predated. I like it. Show me the way to the darkest precipices of the IH universe.

Ordered my first Wesco boots…. waiting
Congratulations. That is very exciting. Did you go for the IHWE-05?
