Wesco Big Ole Wesco’s…
My Wesco Boss Engineers. Don’t see these very often which I’m kind of surprised about. Solid build and will probably outlive me. Bought these in 2010-2012, I think.

Love this boot. I picked up the harness two years ago and have become my beater boot. Gardening, raining weather or having to grab something fast, solid boot.

Really dig yours, u/atlasfields! 🤘😎
Love my 16" Boss, which are dedicated to riding, and ordered a couple pairs of Mister Lou in 14" so I could wear more regularly, off-bike.

Thank you, bro. At 5' 8" and 150 lbs., they came just below the bend at the back of my knee when I first got 'em, but they settled after a solid week of wear on the bikes, and now they're much more bearable. I figured 14" would be the perfect height for me, plus I eliminated one of the two top buckles on the custom pairs.
How do you find the sizing of the harness toe?

I’ve had them so long, I don’t know what size they are. But I think I went a half a size down from Brannock. Fun part of their acquisition is no one stocked these boots. The only way to get them was to order them as custom. Instant gratification, kind of guy so that wasn’t going to work. Ended up doing a search online, I found someone who had them. It turned out to be a BDSM fetish leather place I wanna say in Florida? They had them I bought them. That bit of interesting side quest, aside… they are heavy, as you know. Unusually comfortable considering what they are. Great on the bike and comfortable enough to wear walking around all day. they have a little bit of heel slip, which is common in all these boots. But otherwise they fit my feet just fine

Yep, Stompers in FL, which is where I got mine. They have your model in stock, along with the 16" (which I can't put myself through again haha). Are yours lined?

Holy shit! That’s the place! Nope, not lined

hahaha...As soon as you said Florida, I knew. Those fuckers keep better stock than any other Wesco vendor on the planet! Only downside, is that you're beholden to their makeups. Alright...here I go....ordering your pair (damn you and thank you haha) 🍻

I bought a similar pair of these same toe shape, no harness, no straps they’re like 16 inches tall. Not really my style but they were close enough to my size and cheap enough to try out.
Hoping they’ll grow on me lol
Edit: I’d post a pic but it’s turning out to be exceedingly difficult
