However, if I remember correctly, @Appfaff unbuckles his and straps them up every time he puts them on. You can certainly tighten the fit of the boot with them, if you need to.
100% Neph - I undo the calf and Instep straps everytime I take the boots off.
Having the burlap engineers (MP last) and having had the Morrison’s, also in burlap in the exact same size - I can say the fit on the Boss can be more trailered to your preferred fit. I like that I can cinch the top of the boot down to wear under more sleek pants if needed.
Also, I exclusively wore the thick IH boot
Socks when breaking them in, which means if I wear a more summer appropriate sock, I just click the instep strap an extra notch and achieve a similar fit to my
Winter socks.My vote is Boss - but I am also a sucker for Morrison’s - especially shorties.

My new Wesco boots courtesy of @Appfaff. Apologies for the minimalistic images, boots and socks, but my excitement got the better of me. More pictures to come in time. Thanks Adam for a top pair of boots

@hajduk - yes, quite serious, but quite comfortable!

Double midsoles??
-
yes sir - doubles on a 705 - heel one lift higher.

@neph93 They fit perfectly and I’m amazed at the beauty of them as this is my first custom slip on shoe. The burgundy domain is great and I’m looking forward to the aging and beating them up.

I found this forum thread an incredible resource and a wealth of information when trying to formulate my custom order. I figured I would post some pictures in case others might find them helpful as a resource. I loved the way these turned out so much I decided to order another pair done up the same way, but in Burlap Rough Out. I'll post pictures of those when I have a chance.
Note: the direct inspiration for these came from a collaboration between Ship John and Wesco (Trigger Boot) done a few years back and I wanted to give credit where credit is due.
