Hi, Could use your help deciding between a pair of Robert or Prospector. I like the sprung toe and the idea of a tall toe box in the Prospector which gives me more toe room. I like the lower heel profile as well compared to the Robert. At the same time, it seems relatively new and I am not sure if the 67 last would be more more arch support than I really need.

Any thoughts/guidance on how the Prospector compares against the what is feels like a more popular Robert? Thank you!

For what it’s worth, the arch angle and support are the same for the Robert and Prospector lasts. Robert is great but Prospector has been getting great feedback on comfort from the first people who’ve gotten them.

My feet sweat so much that the only way I could wear a boot this tall would be with my pants tucked in.
Feet don't sweat as much in pull on boots because they're not laced tightly to the foot so you have air circulation. Great boots in the summer and winter both.

Congrats, how long did it take in the end?
i've a slightly odd situation, so let me be detailed:

March 16th- I placed an order for W&C Falcon. I went with the fit sheet/boot try on method. Fit sheet was emailed to me the same day.

May 2nd- I submitted my measurements. I'm slow.

May 25th- placed order for the Wheat Rapids Americana. I asked Shuyler for these to be built before the W&C Falcon.

August 2nd- try on boot was shipped out. I called them back the next day and did that whole process.

August 23rd- shipment notification for the WR Americana.

Anyone have a link to nicks fit sheet with the measurements. Like it shows how many inches are the width and length. I remember seeing a chart when I bought my americana. I can't find it ?
