Beginning week two, but I wore them on three days. Arch support still needs to settle down a little. The leather is quite responsive and forming some nice creases and picking up scuffs mostly from office chair casters.

Stock boots.
This is a wide roomy last with a high instep. The sizing runs larger than US made PNWs. You might have to go down 1 to 1.5 below your brannock size.

My podiatrist suggested that I wear shoes with more arch support and a wider toe box. I wanted something in leather for casual office wear that had a classic heritage look and provided the support I was looking for. These were priced very well and available immediately. The 6-inch height is the perfect amount of ankle support for moderately challenging hikes. It also works well for me for the local winter weather.
I followed the sellers recommendations based on sizing down from my brannock size
It was OK. They did not actually have in stock the model I originally purchased. I accepted their offer to replace it with a model that was available. The shipping was quicker than I expected.
