You can order them with or without the celastic toe. This will be my first pair of boots with a soft toe - I do like the look, but I’m still a little nervous as to how it will feel (squished toes?).
Another pair on Benzeins from Instagram. Mine will hopefully be similar, with the new sleeker buckle, black Italian horsebutt, single full sole and strong woodsman heel with two extra lifts.
Quick question before I place my Benzein order tonight: is there any practical advantages between a full versus half sole (assuming heel stacks are even)? I’d it just aesthetics (when at ground level)?
@BloodEagle you and Rip nailed it to the wall! That looks perfect.

Hi all. I think I am going to order my second pair of Wesco engineers today. I'm hoping for something fairly sleek (I love the Japanese 'dress' engineer style) though I understand I am limited by having wide feet (10EEE).

1985: 14 year old me was grabbing stacks of pirate cassettes while on a family holiday in Bali. I think I picked many based on the album cover alone. Somehow, Combat Rock and London Calling went home with me and changed my life when I dropped them into my little walkman while pretending to do...
Interesting. What is your normal width on the Brannock or other brands?
I threw-out the last pair of Docs I has over ten years ago when I realized it was way too pleasurable taking them off my widening feet at the end of the day.
With free return shipping, I'm tempted to order some out of...
Solvair and Airwair both do a Made in England premium GYW line (both are also offering Horween as well). I keep circling back to these and thinking the oxblood/burgundy/cherry colors would work with black and brown jackets. Then I have to remind myself that regular widths just don’t work for...
