      tried wearing my boss's with the insole for the first time in a couple of weeks today..
      my foot looks like a sausage and its nearly unbearable to walk in.

      might have to just sell these ones to someone and try again.  would the wesco boss's in 8EE be slimmer than their jobmasters?

      those two tones. . . .

          I suspect it is more a function of the restricted instep room you have on the Boss.  Does that make sense?

            Yeah it does- it hurts most in the arch of my foot right where the instep is boa constrictoring (yep just turned that snake into a verb) my foot.

            maybe i'm just not meant to wear non-laced boots 😕

            OH WELL, ONTO THE NEXT BUILD

              @summ3rhays- actually, I do own two black pairs, a pair of boots with sentimental value that I've worn once in the last 5 years and a pair of dress shoes that I wear only with a tux or dark suits, thus about once a year.

              @Giles- my elephants?

                If you really want a pair of Bosses I suggest you get the custom build. It will fit your foot perfectly.

                      Damn, that sucks @bubbapest I've never ordered through Baker's. The custom fit option from Wesco is really detailed, you measure your instep and pretty much every part of both feet. And they keep your measurements on file for future builds. I think you can also update it if your feet change. It costs $100 but seems worth it if you're planning on buying a few pairs over the years.

                        And Chris@Wesco he say:

                        The Jobmaster is much more forgiving, last is the same, but the Boss doesn’t have the gusset over the instep of the foot that is thinner and adjustable by laces…….just the two layers of thick vamp and vamp liner…..on the Boss

                              yeah i had to do that for bakers boots, but maybe i should just do it for wesco and send it to them.. or giles if he'll be placing the order for me 😉

                                You can also look into sending them back to Wesco and having them stretched. I had to do this because the toe box on my MP Bosses was too tight.

                                    Ah, you meant these, Giles-

                                    I sold those back in the springtime, so I sort of forgot about them.  They were bull hide, which I love, but they were just ugly.  Really comfortable, but man, I hate the way the White's swing last looks.
