          @Bulatik85:

          Is it possible to know plans for restock?

          We will definitely restock, but prob not for a few months…..

                First 3-4 days were hard on my feet. Ten wear days and they are getting kind of comfy to walk in.

                  Sounds about right. Another week or so and you’ll be in boot comfort heaven.

                        Thx. The leather feels great . I rotate these with my beckmans, which feel like sneakers regarding the weight comparison to these monsters.

                          Beckmans have kind of the same thick leather, but they have other differences.
                          They have lighter sole, outsole is lighter, and they have corc filling under footbed, because they are Goodyear welted.
                          Wescos have heavy outsole, no corc filling, just solid leather midsole… and they have stichdown construction.
                          Wesco also have double leather on toebox and heel.

                          I believe this makes the difference.

                            Metal shanks and lots of nails in the Wesco’s too.

                              Thx for the info guys. Both are great boots.  But the wescos really are another level. I like both 🙂

                                  It's black, not tea core.

                                    As Chris said, this is not tea core. The black domain leather has been a Wesco staple for a number of years. It is a hefty waxed dress leather that takes a shine easily and develops beautifully. Not unlike CXL but harder wearing.

                                      just to clarify, tea core means that the leather has brown color under the black color?
                                      which I assume used to show some contrast patina?

                                        Indeed. It is leather that is dyed black but in such a way that the dye does not penetrate the leather and is only on the surface.

                                          just received the 10E  ::)

                                          based on first inspection I would say 10D is my best size. but never the less I will try this one.
                                          with some thicker insoles and thicker socks. just with thick insoles i feel they are still slightly bulky but at least they are not hurt and not gathering socks badly.

                                          will check later with thick socks at home…

                                            looks like they feel ok with thick socks…  😎

                                            does they require any breaking in ? I don't feel any resistance right now, just wondering would they be even more comfortable?
