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.

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

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

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… -
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.
I think you’re best talking about cuts rather than measurements as shaft width is relative to boot size as hem width is relative to tag size.
I can get the 555 cut over mine (jeans W34, boots 10.5D) I like the result, but it isn’t necessarily a look everyone embraces. If you can be bothered you can do a search under my forum name, with key words IH-555 and Wesco. It should throw up some pics.
One thing I will say, the slightly shorter shaft makes them better for slim tapered jeans than I thought it would. My 11” boots disturb the silhouette of the jeans more than these.
I find the 666 and 888 cuts are perfect for Engineers in general. Slim, fitted silhouette without the boots affecting the fall of the jean.
