First day out in the wild

Early morning delivery…

They are even better than I had hoped for…

Thanks very much @Giles and @Chris at Wesco

Gorgeous @neph93

[Dmart]

They look gorgeous @neph93 . I can't wait for my custom Boss Mr Lou imitation in Burlap roughout.

Incredible boots! @neph93

[goosehd]

Agree with the above sentiments.  I like everything about that boot.  Great job gentlemen!!

[neph93]

Thanks very much @Dmart @daltmeyer @goosehd @zhivago

They've been about 12 months in gestastion, while I ironed out all the details in my head (and the boot builder application), then the wait for them to get made and arrive came on top of this. So in other words, more effort and time than it takes to make babies 

Joking aside, I am really looking forward to putting them into action.

These are unlined, right?

@neph93:

…more effort and time than it takes to make babies 

Most things do….

@Dmart:

These are unlined, right?

Correct. I have a similar build in the black oil tan that are lined, and while I do like that a lot, unlined makes these more of a year round boot. The lining surely makes them warmer, and the oil tanned leather in plenty thick already.

But the process of making babies can be a lot of fun.  But with Neph's army, I'm sure he already knows that…

Excellent choices on those boots. They'll age so well

Very nice Reuben… congrats

@neph93 I've never thought of two tone stitching on the welt before. That's quite the unique idea. Between the Vibram 100 outsole and the double midsole I'm sure they make you want to kick some ass when they're on your feet.

Nice build @neph93, honey vibrams for the win!

@Chap @Nkwkfld @tvenuto

Cheers guys… always very excited about new Wesco's. It is five years since my first pair and I love the journey with them.

@Palmer I specced the khaki outersole stitching. The brown stitching is either a mistake or something Wesco felt they had to do. I don't care either way as it looks bloody great, so I'm very happy

I’ve been going back and forth for a long time, but now the time has come for my first pair of engineer boots! grabbed a pair of natty CXL Mr lou’s

I’ve worn other types of cowboy boots etc but this is my first pair like this.

I’m more than a little excited

[Dmart]

They look amazing in natural CXL. Seen pics on stridewise I believe it was.
