WESCO

[nonikes]

sounds like we’re all in the same boat.

I’ve got some black horsehide Jobmasters in process that I ordered in Feb. ‘22 through Baker Boots.

Still waitin’ (and it’s a good thing I didn’t hold my breath!)

Back in ‘22, Wesco was quoting lead times ranging from 12-16 months, but they’re closer to about 24 now.

I know it’ll be worth it, but golly, we’re talking closer to two years!

@nonikes yeah it’s tough. I love my Wescos, have several pairs and already plan a new Morrison. However, we are talking almost Role Club waiting time and that’s what always kept me away from Role Club.

[nonikes]

Exactly, @Dmart. I'm a PNW boot guy through and through, regardless, but one of the allures was that you'd not have to wait that long. Even White's are pushing into that 16-18-month timeframe for customs.

Oh well. As the saying goes, "all's well that ends well."

Hey everyone. I’m sure this has been answered many times over in this thread, but curious about sizing.
I’m a 9 in red wings and in my Lofgren engineers. Do have a pair of custom morrisons but not sure the exact size number due to custom nature.

I’m looking at some Boss engineers from IH Germany. Curious if I’d also be a 9 in those?

I have Iron Rangers in 12 and Lous in 12, and they fit the same length wise, pretty much. The Lous might feel a tad longer. They've always felt pretty tight along the top of my foot, but I do have a pretty high instep. I remedied it by just taking out the insole Wesco provides, which frankly isn't much to speak of — just a few millimeters tops.

[Mizmazzle]

@popvulture thanks brother man! I’ve got a fairly narrow, flat, low volume foot.

Trying to plant the seed with the Mrs. That these would make a great Xmas gift.

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle Dude, how long have you been married? Already calling her “Mrs. That” will get you in trouble

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd hmm. That’s probably sound advice. Almost 4 months in the marriage game. Are you saying calling her the old battle axe is no good way to get her to buy me these boots?

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle yeah, …pretty much

[Mizmazzle]

@goosehd ok. I will heed this advice and refer to her moving forward as “my sultry love kitten.”

[goosehd]

@Mizmazzle …but sometimes making up afterwards is worth it too

[Mizmazzle]

You are wise good sir!

@AdamJ Cheers for the heads up on Pisgah laces! I've been buying from an Austrian company called Senkles, nice product but a little pricey at £15-£20 a pair..

I'll grab some of these for sure

[Ross]

@T4920 They are phenomenal laces, just ordered a few more pairs myself

[Brunell]

I would like to buy the Jobmaster boot , but I'm not sure about the size. I was thinking of getting a size 9D. As a comparison I wear 8.5D in Red wing 875 (a little narrow in width) or 8EE in Iron ranger. Do you think they are too big?

[Batman]

@Dmart
Beautiful boots. What make and model are they. Where did you get them? Thanks.

[Matt]

@Brunell I wear the same size in Red Wing and JM.

[Dmart]

@Batman You mean the brown ones? These are the regular natural CXL Mr Lou’s. I have ordered these through IH if I remember correctly.

[endo]

got Pisgah Laces for my Jobmasters, seems to be good stuff

[teddyjay]

@Brunell I wear an 8.5D in iron rangers 9D in the Red Wing 875 and 8.5D in Jobmasters. I own a few Jobmasters and find the ones with a softsole/Christy sole fit a touch wider vs lug soles or VBar soles.
