These were put on for everything from taking out the trash & going to the gym, to a night on the town. These weren’t my main pair but they got their work in nonetheless. House boot extraordinaire and then some.
Took a beating around my little 3 acre property. Leather took some hits for sure but held up well and that CXL just soaks up the wear making it magical.
I have narrow feet, B/C width, and my D width Wescos always come in with extra volume, even in the custom builds. I usually use one or two inserts to soak up the space after they’ve broken in a bit. Some times it takes some experimenting with various inserts to find the right combo and avoid raising the heal too much from the pocket. All in all, still very comfortable boots especially after fully broken in.
Nothing beats Wesco build quality. Love the custom buckles on these too.
Great soles. I generally prefer raised heels but nice to have these in the rotation.
Really enjoyed the experience, especially once I let go of all concerns on wear and tear and the condition of the boots and just let it ride.
