Does anyone have any patina photos of this boot?

@John-Galt If the Wesco “E” fits like a normal D width then, why not just call it a D width? Why the confusion about their LAST widths? I also watch the Wesco video which didn’t really clear up any misinformation about how their boots fit.

@pechelman The only accurate way to compare is to use a brannock device. Mass produced sneaker sizing is all over the map because they’re produced, from season to season in different factories all over the world. Forget about any quality control or standard sizing.

@Merv i literally took the insoles out of the shoes and compared them. This is way more a direct comparison between fit, and in this case the width, than going off brannock and how each brand might vary their lasts from that one measurement method.

@pechelman My point being, that mass produced sneakers like Nike make their products in different factories. For example, your Nike’s could be made in Pakistan and mine could be made in Mexico. There’s no standardized way of manufacturing betwixt factories and they’re likely to fit differently depending upon where they came from.

I think we're getting off track of the intent of this thread. You are free to disagree with me and how I was trying to make my original point about D width sizing in that it isnt the physical WIDTH that's drastically different in Wescos, but moreso the overall VOLUME that makes them fit "narrower". I did recognize your point in my original post and I compared to MANY brands of insoles not shown. Was it exhaustive, no? But it was good enough for me.
