WESCO

^ me too, never a fan of a wedgie but a nice trainer alternative.

C'mon boys.  That sole can be fixed…...

There are some nice endangered japanese garments on my list before I order some WESCO´s, we´ll see how I´ll decide in the end

Kimono's right 

[JCMx800]

@JCMx800:

Need something not so heavy as a sneaker-alternative

Not so heavy?  Wescos with a double leather midsole are definitely heavy.

They are heavy - they are serious boots, not sneakers - and I too, strangely like them!  But then I only wear sneakers to work out or play sports (which is almost never).

[JCMx800]

I hope they are dead serious boots! But @Bluegrass and @Chris you are both right, with not so heavy I meant a black everyday to go boot without a lug sole or a big height. Nevermind

[Giles]

Go single mid sole, something like a Vibram #269 and 6 or 7 inch height and you are done….

Are these blue?!?!  Did not know they offered such a thing, or is this one of those "Japanese-market-only" specials?  Just curious, I'm not looking for blue boots at the moment.](http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=8873)

@D97x7:

It's a bit difficult to tell on my screens, is the leather on the smooth out packers very different to the Wild Ones or similar, in shade/tone?

Actually I answered my own question there, it must be similar or I would be able to see the difference.

@D97x7:

The Viberg 'Mocha Oil Tan' is far darker (almost black) when compared to the Wesco 'Brown'.

[D97x7]

Thanks for that, I was hoping there was a enough difference for me to justify another pair of dark brown boots, and from that pic it looks there is.

[dylantbmayes]

No problem at all @D97x7.

You can never have too many pairs of dark brown boots

[JCMx800]

Another question:
Are there different heel-options??? Some look pretty straight and some look pretty curved.

[Giles]

Yep, you can have what you want….....

[JCMx800]

Nice, good to know

[bubbapest]

actually wearing my WESCOs out of the house for the full day for the first time.  only had to take them off 1 time so far at my desk.  I think the midsole is starting to buckle to my foot's will.  hopefully the insole can go in soon.

Full pics and thoughts to come.

what's the last on the paker?

[JCMx800]

Some days ago I ordered the WESCO catalogue, just for fun, I thought I will not get one because I don't live in the USA. But I got one today, they paid $ 12.60 for postage out of their own pocket. Without owning a pair of boots I can say its a great customer service, just like IHUK. No ass kissing, it's a fact.
