I paid a lot of money for a pair of these Wesco boots.  They are smaller than the same size in another brand that I have been using for 30 years. These never loosened up and are just too small. The sole is falling off of one of them after only 8 months of use. I mean coming right off.  After spending this much money on a pair of boots, and really, really trying to like them, I have to say I hate them.  Never again.
