        @superheavymilk I have either a standard 10.5D or 10.5E in all my Wesco's. I now know that I should do 10.5D in boots with a lighter leather and 10.5E in the oil tanned leathers, but as mentioned, I'm not that fussy.

          I don’t use the straps on my boss either. But I have a custom last…

            I’ve been wearing all types of engineer boots,including Wescos,over the last 25 years,and have never used the strap on any of them,but I,totally,like the way it looks.

              @neph93:

              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  🙂

                            My Wesco Romeos “Anti Roller Mag” came in today!

                            Exact same copy of the Roller Magazine collaboration except without the Roller Mag stamp on the insole.  Navy Insole too. Burgundy leather.

                              Beautiful. Loving the toe cap, and that stitching is superb.

                                          @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.

                                            The domain leathers are stunning and the burgundy has always tempted me. I see an evening on the boot builder in my near future.
