    @Erin758 I think it really depends personally to person. While we do measure foot size in nice neat increments the reality is that no two feet are the same.

    If you've tried the same size in engineers as you take in lace-ups and got too much heel slip then I'd say your plan of trying a half size down and going up in width is a good idea

      @Erin758 yes I wear 10 in Mr Lou and 10.5 in lace up chukka. The Lou’s require thinner socks later in the day or on airplane (once the feet swell) or the toes get a little smashed, but it was worth it to avoid too much heel slip. But this will vary from foot to foot and based on individual preferences.

        Sounds good; Wesco offers combination lasts so I will go up in width for the toebox but leave the heel the same. A softer leather would also probably help with the break in and stretch...

                @bluemantra I've got a pair of Nick's I've had since 2015 but I wouldn't say they've been worn hard by any means.

                Here they are brand new, a couple years ago after a conditioning, and today. Dunno if it's just this run of natural cxl but mine haven't aged a bunch compared to some other nat cxl boots I've seen.

                  @pechelman Thanks, they definitely look like they've taken on a light brown versus the grayish color when new.

                    Does anyone have red wing amber harness to compare to british tan from wesco?

                      A lot of times I feel somewhat torn on whether or not I should have gotten mp toe but then I remember how uncomfortable they felt on the first model I had, Horween black horsehide.

                              @SourPower thanks! I absolutely love the lugs, wanted to distinguish them a little more from the ISP pair. I actually sent the shop vancouver pair in last week to get lugged as well, really excited to see how those turn out. I have always loved the burlap/lug look

                                In case anyone else is interested. Chris sent me some samples and here’s British tan compared to red wing amber harness. I ended up going with the Maryam natural horsehide. There’s some photos with natural Essex and natural CXL.

                                    @SourPower thanks, yeah the honey combing looks great and it has this slight honey or caramel color compared to the Essex.
