      @Steve or anyone with experience… Does anyone know if the toe box stretches or molds with wear? I’m trying to decide if I want to go with a wide. I’ve had some boots stretch enough and some that don’t have much give even with extensive wear.
      Thanks yall!

        Can only talk for the black cxl version but the celastic toe is pretty hard, there won't be a lot of stretch in the forefoot, I went with an E because most D width boots are a tiny bit too narrow on my right foot and it was the right call

          @TJA_Crew yes, the toe is quite firm, and after 6+ years of wear its still the same shape as it was originally. If in doubt I would go wider

            @FlavourFade Thanks for the insight! Yep, same with me… my right foot prefers a wider boot.

                  @FlavourFade how did you size them compared to brannock or others?

                    @bradleyjames don't have a brannock device but I went with a 9.5E the same size I would wear in most Red Wings if they weren't too narrow then. My wesco boss I wear in 10E.

                        I am a 9.5 "C" width in my Alden Indy boots.
                        Will the 10 "D" in this boot fit ?

                            I would recommend going with a size 10. The Trubalance last used in Indy boots usually runs a half size large.

                            We always suggest going with your true Brannock size. For example, I am a Brannock 11 and take a size 11 in Wesco, as Wesco boots run true to size. You might find the D width a little wider than the C width in the Indy boots, but a thicker sock or an insole should easily resolve that.
