Honestly I feel like leather heel counters are kind of misunderstood.
See pic; they take up a lot of space meaning you don't get any more space for your heel, but you do end up with a bulbous and bulky heel profile on the outside.
I feel like a lot of people assume boots with leather heel counters have "more" heel shape (thus less heel slip) just because of this outside look, without actually having more space on the inside.

Heel counters are supposed to be stiff and don't get a lot of pressure, so I don't really see how they will ever mold to your feet very much.
Whether the heel counter is plastic or leather, chances are if your heel cup doesn't fit well from the start, the heel cup itself is not going to get much better over time. What might improve things like heel fit and heel slip is how the rest of the boot adapts to your feet.

While I do love the idea of a boot being built from all organic materials, I do like the look of a straighter heel so I'm not averse to a thermoplastic heel counter at all.

[Anonymous No.17902479]

>>17902475
See pic.
The Wesco on the left appears to have a straighter heel profile than the Clinch, but really on the inside the actual "shape" and space for your heel is likely very similar.
The Clinches just appear more shapely on the outside because of the thick leather heel counter.

Leather definitely stretches and molds, even thick-ass veg-tan leather when it's under pressure like in the soles of your shoes.
But it won't do much of that when it's in the heel. There's virtually no pressure there, only friction.

I'm looking for a new pair of boots. I need a lineman shaft, packer's toe cap and looger heels. Needs to have a lot of arch support and at least 2.5mm thick leather. No synthetics. Need to be resoleable and able to take a beating. Kilties optional.
I will use them mostly for short trips over carpeted floor to the coffee machine from the swiveling chair in which I spend 8 hours reviewing excell sheets and writting emails. Ocassionally I might use them for some light yard work and hiking. I by hiking I mean a short stroll on a mostly unpaved road in the outskirts of the suburb I live in.
Budget is 2.3k, any recs?

This is cope. All the boots I’ve worn that have a more defined heel counter shape and that also use a piece of veg tan leather have always been infinitely more comfortable, especially after you break them in. There’s always going to be the initial period in which the heel counter will be rock hard, but that extra piece of veg tan in the heel counter literally molds to your heel over time. This isn’t to say that boots with straight looking heel counters aren’t comfortable, but at a point you have to acknowledge that the more shaped counters are just a better design

[Anonymous No.17903047]

Personally not a fan of the leather, but narrow toes will generally look a little more feminine. It kind of just depends on what you wear with the boots and how you look as a person. If you naturally look like a twink, it’s going to be gay. If however you have a built body type, it will look sexcore

Those wanting a fat PNW logger boot to wear casually, why not just buy the Grant Stone Field boot (could resole with lugs), or White’s Mocs, or Truman’s? 55 lasted boots with tall and shapely heels, wide down stitched shelves seems so unwarranted. Just buy some other rugged boot to wear casually

Rose Anvil makes some leather goods, but not boots. They do collabs with bootmakers here and there.

>>17904309
>why the fuck would Wesco need the collaboration companies approval to change the size of a boot for the customer who is paying for it?
Because obviously the order and payment went through the collab partner.
It says so in the email: "I ordered a pair of boots FROM black bear brand".
He even says black bear brand took his measurements.

It's honestly a little weird that the Rose Anvil guy decided to go directly to Wesco to ask for a size change. In my experience that's just asking for order mix-ups.

Yes but they clearly know which order it is, and only need an approval by black bear, Wesco's responding email makes it pretty clear that all they are looking for is a greenlight from black bear to do it, not that they don't know which order his is.

After the email he should have, but if you have your Wesco order number it makes sense to go to Wesco with a size change.
Black bear isn't touching the boots, or pretending to.

The order he placed with Black Bear.

Doubt it, because Wesco would have said that in the email or in the response, all they say is that it needs to be greenlit.
What I'm saying is, if Wesco knows what order number it is, and the shipping label has the same name on it, there is no legitimate reason why they couldn't have changed the size without a pseudo bureaucratic process

I'm not gonna read through all that, but if you order an MTO through X you go back to them for any adjustments/issues NOT the manufacturer.
When i order an MTO through Skoak, i don't try to directly contact Bonafe and say
>yea that one MTO with blah blah, please change the size to UK11 instead of UK10.5
When i order an MTO through the 92 Jermyn Street C&J Store, i don't directly contact the factory or the Paris store, i go back to the store i went to for the MTO.
Anything else is stupid and makes it harder for everyone involved.
Obviously Wesco need to confirm with Black Bear or whoever placed the MTO with them and can't just change the order before that.
Why is that even a discussion?

When I bought my 350 cutters in person, I was actually wanting to get the 350 cruisers originally. I showed up to the Danner store in Portland to try on some pairs, but I was actually more drawn to the appearance of the 350 cutters. To me, it just looks more “Whites” and holds a more demanding presence. It may not be your thing, but it was for me. If you’re going to get either one of them, call the Danner store in downtown Portland to see if they still have some Whites that they would ship to you. The C350 models are not handwelted, whereas the pair I bought in person a couple months ago is. Also, go for roughout leather

It’s just superior in my opinion. The purpose of having a pair of whites is to have a well rounded every day pair of shit kickers that you never have to worry about babying due to their robust, tanky build quality. The roughout leather is inherently more durable and resistant to wear and tear as opposed to the smooth grain leather. I rubbed on a little bit of Whites boot oil on the roughout and after 2 days the boot turned into this beautiful rich brown color. Highly recommend

Just realized this the Niggs new dressy premium brand.
LMFAO, I can't believe they put out a boot without contouring for the heel.
Here is your $1000 grant stones with worse leather.

What on earth are the owners of nigs smioking charging 300 more than Viberg for a boot that is a quarter of the quality?
