Concur on the Wellcos but one note: I have 2 pair, one black ICB and one desert ICB. The desert are a newer style (they have "Wellco" stamped on the side by the heel) but both are the same size. The newer style seems to be dead on in width but a bit long. For example I would recommend ordering 10W in the desert instead of my normal 10 1/2 wide. The arch doesn't quite fit my foot like the black ICB's.

So, I'm not sure if the slight size difference is due to the desert ICB's or the newer style.

As TR stated they are a bit warm, but very comfotable. I wore some orthotics in old jungle boots and I have no such problems with my Wellcos. Remove from the box, lace, walk. Repeat as needed.
