      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.

                  Could someone with 10us size do sych measurement for me?

                      please check, this would be bigger for me, but it could give the idea how big is the "step" if someone would be able to measure 10 US. (or 9, or 9.5)

                          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?

                            Cleaned them today.

                            I'll have them for two month now and wear them in rotation with my other boots. I'am so glad I bought them!
