@marlin
No, you are not rude at all, maybe even too polight[emoji6]

I was just wondering if burlap version is more soft and break in easely…(for example).

As for bulid 5, how long does it take you to break them in? I have weared my boots one day... now have some painful read bubbles(dont know correct word) around the heels. Not too much. I usually have them with new shoes. Will wait when they would be healed.

Never had engeneer boots before or any boots that need to be broken in.[emoji848]

@Bulatik85, you need to be patient about that, it will take a couple weeks. You shouldn't over do it with great amount of walking when new. This way you only get the blisters you already have, and yes, give them a break now.

To me there is no difference in the leathers, both have the same stiffness when new.

Good, thank you.
I have expected that it would take some time.

They will get better, but me personally, the big wuss that I am, could be inclined to try something like this to make it easier on the heels:

Thank you for advise.
I have bought some stickers which I need to stick to the heel as protection and blisters treatment.

One more stupid question.
What exactly mean - breaking boots in?
As i have told before I have never had a boots that needed to be broken in.

Does it mean that with some wear the sole is bended many times and became softer and more easy to bend. And more comfortable to wear the boot.
And the same with the leather.

How to understand that breaking in process finished?

Sorry in advance, if the question is super stupid[emoji849]

That’s pretty much it. The leather in the midsoles, counter and vamp all soften and mould to the shape of your foot. It’s done when the boot is comfy and you no longer have blisters from wearing them.

I would like these in 11 E. Would that be possible. How wide is the E. Just curious. I have a wide foot.

Just my personal experience so don’t take it as gospel, but I’m an E fitting in just about every shoe and boot I’ve ever tried but with the Wesco MP toe I’m between a D and an E.

Sam,

When are you coming here?  We could make sure what size you are and then make….

G, As of now, I will be spending Christmas in Kew, but I will have to start planning another trip sooner. I'll let you know. Sam

this bulid has a leather insole with Iron Heart logo, does anybody know if it is a removable insole?

[neph93]

Have you tried taking it out?

@Bulatik85, how they feel, after some good use they should be hopefully comfy by now!

[Bulatik85]

Hi @marlin ,

Yes they are more comfy now, no blisters anymore 
I think that I didn't yet used them a lot, since I am not walking a lot  and I have to wear some more formal shoes during the work-week. But I am wearing them from time to time  ::)
I will try to make some pictures later…

[marlin]

This sounds much better…but was waiting for the pic.

For those who own these: If you had to guess, what would you say is a minimum leg opening you would want to have? My jeans generally have about a 7.25 to 7.5 inch leg opening.
