Wescos for the win. Love these boots and this leather. Result was art from a blank cacanvas
Wesco x S&S Van Cleef III in Horween Natural EssexBy rmgman • April 5, 2026"My main boots for this competition. These boots were worked to death on my little 3 acre property. They saw time on the tractor, cutting wood, tending chickens, digging holes, working under the hood, fire pit, snow plowing & shoveling, out on the town, you name it. 6th month got them a thorough clean and condition and then a re-condition. They’ve been brushed and buffed a bit for their final photo op and before they’re shut down for a while. I was worried about this ridiculously soft leather holding up to what I’d inevitably throw at it, but it was a champ, and it definitely shows every single indiscretion that came its way. They were a blank canvas awaiting the art. I’m very happy with the outcome...."Read the full review

Engineers have been there all along.
Wesco Mister Lou in Shinki Natural Shell CordovanBy varnu • April 5, 2026"These were a prize for doing well in the 2023 Dome and I definitely feel rewarded. My first pair of Engineers and they won't be my last. I wore these a fair amount but it really ends up pulling the rest of the outfit along with it. Once you decide to put on a pair of chaps, you can't really go with the cargo pants, and there's a similar affect with these. Though they are a lot easier to wear than I imagined they might be...."Read the full review
Another year, another dome
Wesco Boss Engineer Boot in Maryam Muschio HorsebuttBy DrJohnCrunch • April 4, 2026"I wore these boots about 5 days per week for the entire 6 month period. They saw all types of conditions from prepped hospital operating rooms (with shoe covers on of course) to local dive bars to concerts to light hikes. Being in the northeast, they saw 2 record breaking blizzards in 1 year. They were on my feet when my car got stuck in feet of snow overnight and they were back on when I went to dig said car out a day later. They were on my feet while I stood and rounded for hours in the ICU and they definitely saved my feet, knees, and back. While I don’t work in as harsh conditions as many who participate in the dome, my boots still saw quite a bit of use and took everything I could throw at them and just got better and better. I can’t wait to keep wearing these for years to come...."Read the full review

Transformative year, transformative pair
Wesco Mister Lou in Maryam Black HorsehideBy Deckard • April 4, 2024"Daily or near it. Some rests but these went everywhere I did: work in a clinical environment to hiking some dirt and rocky trails with my dog to playing at the park with my son and all points in between. There were no limits. Roads? Where were going we don’t need roads. Just a solid pair of engiees on our feet...."Read the full review
