The Jobmaster is the workhorse of the Wesco boot line. Five configurations of this boot are kept in stock.

Combat boots: We're now able to build a custom version of this Jobmaster logger boot as a combat boot with black eyelets, black lacing studs, black stitching and black laces to comply with military uniform regulations. If you want, we can also use a lower heel. These options can be specified on any custom order and are available to anyone... you don't have to be in the military to get these. Click here to see our page on these custom combat boots.

There's also a special version of this boot called the Firestormer™ which is widely used by wildland fire fighters.

If you can't find the combination of size, width, height, color, sole etc that you want in the stock boots, then we'll make a custom pair to your specifications. For just a few dollars more than the price of a "stock" boot you can have a custom boot made to your personal specifications. You just have to be a bit patient while the bootmaker builds your custom boots. Current production time is about 18 weeks.

The Jobmaster Boot:

Redwood lace-to-toe Jobmaster

This is the classic boot worn by loggers, park rangers, forestry workers, wildland fire fighters, engineers, surveyors, oil-field workers, ranch hands, forest rangers, hikers, motorcyclists and mild-mannered systems analysts. If you've ever watched forest firefighters at work, you've seen these boots in action.

WESCO builds these boots on special lasts expressly designed for producing high quality work boots. The foot area is lined by a smooth inner leather layer which contributes to the strength and comfort of the boot. This extra layer of leather complements the careful fit and excellent arch support. The boot's comfort is further enhanced by a cushioned foot liner like those found in athletic shoes. Our new customers are often surprised when they discover how comfortable these sturdy boots are!

What is the Difference Between Lineman & Logger Boots?

The Lineman Boot is essentially a Logger Boot with 4 added features which customize it to its job of protecting the boots from poles & trees and from the climbing irons worn by linemen.

Leather Side Patch & Steel Side Plate
Protects the boot from telephone poles, trees and motorcycle shift levers
Steel Breast Plate
This recessed plate in the heel protects against climbing irons
Leather Half Slip
This extra insole component provides additional support in the arch

* We don't recommend the 6" Jobmaster boots. The top of the boot is at ankle height.
The combination of an unpadded boot top and unpadded ankle can lead to pressure points
and discomfort for some.

About ordering from BIG BLACK BOOTS

How do I know what size to order? ( clue -- order the same size as your feet )


About the boots' sizing - how they fit:

Wesco boots used to run fairly large, but now run true to your US Men's size. Order these boots in your true size or ½ size larger to accommodate multiple or extra heavy socks. It's OK for these lace-up boots to be slightly large since the lacing system will ensure a proper fit. Being slightly large also gives you more latitude in choosing thicker or thinner socks.

About the boot's height:

To determine where the top of the boot will be on your leg, measure up from the heel of your stockinged feet along the back of your leg. This should be done while in a seated position with the knee bent at a 90 degree angle.

The initial height of Highliner lineman boots and Jobmaster logger boots will be 1" shorter than specified. e.g. if you order a 16" boot, it will come up 15" from your heel.

As they break in, these boots will stay very close to their initial height.

To convert from centimeters to inches, divide the height in centimeters by 2.54
