Snow

Done a lot of walking, a bit of cycling(!) and also a good deal of sitting and rubbing against chair legs 🙃 Really enjoyed the few gentle hikes I took in the fall wearing these boots. The heel height made the inclines feel more manageable. The height of the shaft was great in the few monster snow dumps we got this year.

Break-In

One boot came pretty wrinkled from the get, the other broke in marvellously. I call them my Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Horsehide boots. Love the teacore, but much of the progress I saw was backtracked once I conditioned them.

Final thoughts

Would Recommend
Good Value

When the boots first arrived, they were missing an insole and had some small finishing nails sticking out of the sole bed. I actually cut my finger when reaching in the first time to see what they were. Glad I didn’t jam my foot down there first thing! I reached out to Wesco about it and immediately got a response from Chris - super apologetic and willing to have me ship them back to the factory to fix them himself. I was glad to punch the nails down myself, but he sent me a new insole and some complementary conditioner that arrived in 48 hrs from my original email. Some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced - definitely made me a repeat customer as I’ve now got my 2nd pair of Wescos on order (about 5 months in 🤪). Huge thanks to Chris Warren and the crew in Scappoose!
