These beautiful, all-leather Wesco boots, made in the USA, come with a Vibram 100 lug sole, which will steady your step whether you are traversing hills out in the wilderness or the hills of the big city. For climbing, these boots contain a non-corrosive, ribbed, slightly arched steel shank. Shanks give your feet support as you climb and help bear a load of your weight during ascents. This means mountaineers will no longer be rubbing their feet in pain at the end of a treacherous ascent. In addition to this, the Wesco Highliner also comes with a leather half-slip for even more added support for your arches. These boots were made to preserve your feet. Highliners don’t only help mountaineers though! These boots are also ideal for those of you who need general working boots that will stand the test of time; these boots will surely not disappoint. Check out our Brown Highliners if you are looking for the same boot in brown!
