IHWE-Build-5 - Iron Heart/Wesco 9" Brown Engineer Boot
-
FWIW. I wear the same size as you: EU 43 and UK 9. I have the IHTB-BOBRN in size 10(US). As shown in "how we measure" that’s 43+. And that is exactly how the fit feels for me. I usually wear them with chup socks but I could go both thinner and thicker socks and still be comfortable. Mind you, I don’t like my feet cramped in boots.
Ok. I get your idea.
I also dont like too tight feet, but is'nt it so that for such boot it is important to fit well, since there is no laces?
I am only afraid of that it will slip around the heel and hurt it… -
Heel slip is an issue but your sizing needs to be pretty badly off for that to happen. I don’t think correct sizing is more or less of a problem with Engineers. At least not in my experience. My burlap Boss are much roomier than my oil tanned Boss, but still no heel slip. You can also correct minor sizing issues by inserting another insole or taking the existing one out.

Do you have some special to mentioned regarding different wesco engineers?
Build 5
Build 3
BOBRN
BOBLK
Do they have a significant differences? -
Not really, they are mostly cosmetic. They are all built on the same last meaning they have the same toe shape. They are all made from waxed leather, in fact 3, 5 and BRN are made from the same leather and BLK from the black version of it. They all have the same outsole tread (#700) except that build 5 has the cut down version (#705). Build 5 has a double midsole will take more time to break in and changes the profile of the boot. I prefer that on most builds but it’s a matter of taste really. There are other cosmetic differences listed on the product pages.

Thank you!

one more stupid question:
does this lower buckle really used to tight up the foot or it is just some kind of decoration in practice?It can be used to relax or tighten the instep to a certain degree but doesn't have the same scale of effect as laces.

do they have a removable insole?
Yes they do.
Could someone with 10us size do sych measurement for me?
-
Size 10D

Size 10D
Thank you,
looks like 10D is slightly bigger than my regular size.
the insole that I have posted is from a winter boots that has syntetic fur insulation, which reduce the inside capacity of the boot. so, I think that it maybe better to start with 9.5D size…does anybody have 9.5 size of any Wesco boots here?
