Thanks for sending this old Leatherneck down that Rabbit hole. Just finished putting mink oil on 2 pair. My Riding Engineer Boots & Old Rocky Linemen work boots! Semper Fi Brother 0331
I really need to try the bare foot shoes. I have problems trying to find a size 14. The day I went into a Redwing store and the guy said, "your not a 14". He measured and it was a 12EEEE. He only had a 13EEE and it fit like a dream. Best fitting pair of steal toe's I ever had.
I always wanted a pair of those Wesco's but never owned a bike. I skateboarded for 51 years and still to this day. So I am familiar with your explanation of slowing down time right before an accident. If you are gonna pull off this Santa gig, just make sure you don't ride in on a motorcycle. I just had this feeling you might end up getting in another accident with you ending up in the ER getting another handjob because some nurse will think you're cool because of your boots.
I have some Redwing 2970 engineers with wedge sole..same problem with me with the narrow toe box..rarely wear them...dig your Wesco's definitely next level..😎
Funny, I've been wearing Engineer Boots Forever. I still have two pairs. Chippewa, USA steel toe and Wicked Cool. I have pictures of me wearing them in my early twenties n I'm 74. Real Frankenstein Look. As we age, our feet spread out. Bummer. Ya might wind up Framming them, Funny.
This is why you wear PNW boots. Things are built like absolute tanks. Take a look at Nicks boot. They have some cool options if you need wider options. You prob need their Munson last, they might make you an MTO like you’re describing.
I've been doing the barefoot shoe/boot thing the past 4 years or so - It's healed all my foot issues. I can't wear them PNW or any boot with a heal and steel shank, all that stuff makes them not flexible at all, so you're wearing a cast on your foot. It doesn't bother some people but after decades of wearing them it messed me up. I'm keeping these WESCO's just because they might come in handy in the future
Great boots yes Wesco has a shortage of staff they can't find skilled boot makers because of the boot craze like whites ,Nicks ect the boot biz PNW has high demand starting in 2019 Wesco wait is now 2 years to have a pair of boots custom build and the price for all PNW are high because they all are build like tanks
I’m glad I bought a pair of Stock Wesco Boss engineers in 2017. They were only $390 back then and arrived in a couple weeks. Yes, the PNW boots are now almost double the price and longer wait time.
Those would sell for $1000 on eBay now. Around $2000 if you take them to Japan. LOL Crazy ridiculous asking prices for those on eBay. A Wesco rebuild is running about 3 months to get done. I ordered a new pair of basic Jobmasters Jan 2023 in my size and they still aren't done. Who made the wedge sole boots?
@@AstroVanTribe Usually if it is a special or custom made to order there will not be a size stamped inside the boot shaft. At least that is what I have seen with some of mine. If it is a stock size like a 13D it will be stamped in the shaft.

Love great Boots. Wesco's are amazing. Glad they saved your foot!

Good boots for doing the 'Door' at clubs.
Those boots still look like they're in good condition
As mentioned, they were rebuilt
Good advice, take care of your leather , up here in the north east they will mold. Next, your leather jacket?
Ain't That the TRUTH!

Remember Mike you’re 57 but you’re in your 58th year lol
Hey man, The Shop Vancouver stock Wesco Boss boots with a wedge heel but there’s a pre order and they cost upwards of $700 depending on the leather.
I think you meant to say you clearly had a green light, please stay safe 🙏 ps love the boots perfect for riding
yes, I wrote that in the description - I misspeak pretty frequently

Ha, ha, ha...!
Those boots are fire!
You made me buy this boots thanks. Be safe.

The Redwings are too narrow?

Those are outstanding
You certainly have some pretty outlandish stories. You flew through the air like a rag doll but you're thankful that your foot wasnt broken??
Honestly I feel best standing on leather insoles or my Birkenstock sandals
My dad gave me a 79 triumph 750 chopper when I was 17. I'm 45 now and wish I kept that bike

WESCO made them, I'm not clear on whether or not they were special order for a particular store/person but I don't see them on the website

Check out Robert 'Bar' Porter aka Gunny Claus.
watching the interview - It's neat he's part of the Toys For Tots thing - I wasn't thinking about that at all, just a straight up bad ass Santa :)
I wear a size 11 shoe. You know what they say about guys with big feet. ;) It ain't true brother. LOL
💜🎡💛🎡💜
Do you have any bike 4 s-le?
Everything is for sale for the right price....
Hey dum dum, you said it was clearly a red light when you went into that intersection.
I misspoke and you can read that note in the description...
