    I’ve got my sizing down. Even toyed with all different socks for different boots. I wanted to get a consensus of others. I always undo my strap and use a bag to slide in. High instep issues. However taking off with sweaty socks has never been too fun.

      A boot jack makes taking off a tighter paiur child's play.

      To answer your original questions

      1. Sometimes
      2. No
      3. No, not issues, but they don't just slip off

      My Skoob pair needed plastic bags and were really difficult for the first 5-10 wears then became easier. I still mainly use a boot jack to remove them. They are about as well sized as a slip on boot can get. My Boss have plenty of heel slip, I can take them on and off with ease with the straps done up, but they are also as small as I can go without them being too short.

      The fit on the Skoob pair means I prefer them in general, but the ease of putting on and taking off means the Boss probably get used more, as a shitkicker boot.

                        Thanks guys!

                        I can’t wait for the creases to settle in, and the blues start to pop.

                          I have a really hard time getting my foot into many engineers especially my right foot which is slightly larger than my left. The plastic bag trick does work but I've found using a ski boot shoe horn is a better solution long term solution and I can get the boots on in seconds instead of minutes. If you google "ski boot shoe horn" the red one is what I use. It has saved me so much trouble in getting engineers on and a boot jack is necessary for getting them off without struggling for minutes. In fact using the ski boot shoe horn has opened up a lot of engineers that I previously just couldn't get my feet into and I can buy boots that fit me better instead of sizing up and getting a sloppy fit everywhere else.

                            I’ll chime in on the questions and say no/no/no, but I do use a boot jack just because they’re really convenient. I have a pair of made to measure Role Clubs and two pairs of Mr Lou’s, one in size 12 and one 12.5. IIRC my Brannock size is probably a 13.5, which is why 12.5 seems to be be the most ideal fit for me in Wesco. 12 is doable — a little snug on the top of my foot — but I can get them off and on with no problem / no unbuckling.

                            The reason I offer all this up is that my first pair of engineers were Lofgrens in 12. I really needed a bigger size, but that was the biggest they made, and they were positively murderous to deal with for a while. I had them stretched by a cobbler twice, and even after breaking them in I still had a really hard time getting one of them on (I have high insteps but my right foot is higher). Thankfully I got past having to use the plastic bag, but once I got a pair that actually fit, I couldn’t sell them fast enough. They were killer boots and I still love the way the Lofgren engineers look, but they were just too small. This is all to say that if anybody runs into that whole mess, just size up if possible and make your life easier.
