About Wesco

Spur climbing puts a lot of pressure on the arch of your foot. Wesco lineman and climbing boots are built with stiff shanks and heavy leather to support that, and the Highliner is one of the best-known models for climbers.

Good boots last for years with care and can often be rebuilt. Break them in before a long climb, keep the leather conditioned, and replace or resole when the support starts to go.
