Thanks for update.

then I have to try 10E… this could work, with custom insoles and boot sock, I believe...

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.

Looking forward to a looong relationship with these Btw. What animals hide are these made of?

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.

[daynym]

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

sorry if I missed this in the thread but is this leather dyed through or teacore?
cheers

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.

[Bulatik85]

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.
