Cosmas Titan Structural Fire Boots $309

• We've now found an excellent line of hi-tech lightweight fire boots with heavy duty specs made by Cosmas Boots. These are even better than the great line of fire and EMS boots made by Jolly that we used to carry until their US distributor shut down.

  The Cosmas fire boots are revolutionary NFPA certified boots which are lighter and much more comfortable than traditional rubber and leather fire boots. And they have better specifications than any other boot to date. We have just added the Cosmas Titan pull-on structural fire boots and will shortly be adding the Cosmas Atlas lace/zip structural fire boots. We think those are going to be great for EMS work as well. Then we'll add the Cosmas Hercules wildland fire boots which feature a radically new design which is more like a hiking boot but is NFPA certified for wildland use. Those Hercules boots have receive great reviews by wildland fire fighters who've tested them. Stay tuned!
  
  

• 11" Wesco Boss boots with the #100 Vibram lug sole are once again a stock item. There's been high demand for these boots but we can usually ship them quickly. Click here for the Boss boot page.

• 15 October: Wesco are now taking about 10 weeks for custom boot orders.

  This is about as fast as their production time gets.

  Rush orders, for which Wesco charges an additional $100,
  take about half as long.

• Wesco has introduced a new leather option for people who want to polish their boots. Click here for details.

• Good news for EU customers. The US Postal Service has finally stopped using GLS and Extand who mishandled deliveries for several years in EU countries and charged extra fees for the favor of poor, slow, unreliable service. Yeah!!!! Delivery is now handled by the Post Office in each country.

• UK customers... you're still stuck with ParcelFarce but we can always ship your boots professionally using FedEx. Let Mr. Brown know what you think of privatisation.

• We've updated several articles in our Boot FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). Lot's of useful information about the care and feeding of boots. There's even one titillating article which shows how to discipline your boots. Now that's a novel concept.

• Dehner's production time for custom boots is taking 8 to 12 weeks as of October 2008
  
  
• The older Wesco boots used to be made with a last which had a roomier toe. We always use these lasts for our stock Wesco boots and usually we will have your custom boots built using these original lasts because Wesco has now been able to get more of these lasts. Read more about it in our boot FAQ here
  
  
• Good news for Australians. Imported items costing less than AU$1,000 are now admitted duty and tax free. No GST! Full details at the Australian Customs Service web site. As the Bush dollar continues its plummet into the toilet, our boots and jackets are getting cheaper and cheaper in AU$, €, £, and most other currencies.
  
  
• Wesco has an exclusive distributor in Japan who handles all orders shipped to Japan. So we can no longer ship Wesco boots to Japan. However we still sell all other products to our valued customers in Japan. Japan is the only place subject to this restriction... we continue to sell Wesco boots to all other countries.
  
  
• Ever wonder why the soles don't fall off your boots once the sole stitching starts to wear through? You can find the answer to this burning question on our Boot FAQ page. The page is filled with erudite and thought provoking replies to the many questions we get about our boots and makes for a compelling read. Don't miss the link to the John Galsworthy essay on Quality at the end of the FAQ

  Click here to see why soles don't fall off.
  
  

• The weak "Bush" dollar plummeted to a record low in July 2008 as the USA became the largest debtor nation in history. Now that the whole world is in an economic recession, the US dollar has stabilized a bit against the euro and the pound sterling.

  Has the Euro has become stronger or has the dollar has sunk lower? The answer is in the financial headlines:
  

  Dollar Slips To New Multi-year Low Versus Russian Ruble

  Dollar His New 8-year Low Versus Real After Brazil Posts Budget Surplus In January

  US Dollar Hits New Multi-year Low Versus Estonian Kroon

  Dollar Sets New Multi-year Low Versus Singapore Currency

  US Dollar Declines To Fresh Multi-year Low Against Polish Zloty

  Dollar Plunges To New Multi-year Lows Against Scandinavian Currencies

  Dollar Falls To New Multi-year Low Versus Malaysian Ringgit

  But it's a wonderful thing if you live outside of the United States. Our $399 Wesco Boss Engineer boots would have cost €482 at the 26 October 2000 exchange rate. That same pair of boots would cost about €297 now... still a bargain!

• If you'd like a bit more room in the toe area of your Wesco boots there are a couple of options:
  1. Consider ordering the steel toes. Steel toes often get a bad rap for cramping your toes because they take up space in the toe of the boots. Not with Wesco boots! Wesco uses special roomier steel toes imported from Europe. In the mid range sizes and widths, these actually have roomier toes than boots without steel toes.
  2. The older Wesco boots used to be made with a last which had a roomier toe. Wesco is no longer able to get these lasts but has some of the old ones left. In some cases we can have your boots built using these original lasts. Read more about it in our boot FAQ here
