WAYWT - Shoes/Boots Edition!

@Paddy Ofurniture that is the kind of Viberg last I love. I know the more tapered refined profiles are very popular these days but for me their work boot lasts are perfect. What leather are they made from?

Thanks, Neph. Yeah, I'm with you on the lasts. I like boots that look like boots and not hightop dress shoes. The leather on these is 8oz. Oil Tanned Mocha. I wanted a 6' steel toe workboot that was overbuilt, very functional and straightforward. I will maintain these, but I sure won't have to baby them! I think they'll age nicely.

Very nice. Just be aware that those laces will stain the burlap RO.

@tvenuto yes I already noticed that!  But nevermind… an absolut wonderful boot!

Super comfortable straight from the box.. I sized down .5 from my JL engineers

^ beautiful. I do like the lines of the heel and midsole on these boots. And the finish is exquisite.

I appreciate it is very subjective, but it is often the height of a heal stack that puts me off a boot. It's my only issue with my Viberg, the heal is higher than I'd like. Often the last prevents a custom lower build either. Those Wesco look top though.

[neph93]

It is subjective of course but if this isn’t all about personal taste then what is? On the other hand, there are some objective elements to the effect design can have on appearance.

I love some lowered heel profiles. RW peco’s for example have a great profile and Wesco’s lowered Jobmaster/Boss last can look beautiful. But objectively I know that on me the result is that my already short inseam appears Gimli-esque [emoji1]

Lowered Jobmaster you say? Ooh. That boot in a rough out would be very much to my tastes.

Here's an example. Bare in mind that this is a double midsole so you can get the heel even lower. Also the #705 sole affects the profile of the boot.
