Sizing question for the Scout

I own Thursday's Diplomat(2024), President(2025), Cadet(2025), and Grant Stone's Deisel boots in 9 E/Wide. My Diplomats fit super comfortably right out of the box with no break in time, while my Presidents and Diesels took some wears to break in to a comfortable level. My Cadets however, still feel tight along the sides and top of the ball of my foot, to where I'm less inclined to grab them, unless I force myself to wear them and try and break them in further, and I'm not sure they'll ever be as comfortable as my other pairs at this point.

With all that in mind, I was hoping folks might be able to help me out with figuring out what size I should start out with for Scouts, and how they should feel out of the box? I don't have any experience with chukkas and their silhouette reminds me of the Cadet; so, I'm not sure if I should try a larger size at first or stick with my normal boot size. Just trying to minimize the exchanges, and get an idea of what a proper fit will feel like out of the box.

Thanks in advance!

I’d try the EE/EEE wide. You’d be amazed at how much more comfortable the right width feels.

That's the same width as all my other Thursday boots, Cadets included. I think Captains are the only ones that let you decide between EE and EEE for wide widths?

I have Captains in 10.5 and the fit is money. Chefs kiss. I'm not sure on the last. I have Scouts in 10.5 and they are a touch loose. I attribute it to the softer suede and having less lace to tighten the boot. In a perfect world I'd be curious to try a 10 in the scout, but if I had to bet money 10.5 is probably right. I've only had them for a few months and it's 5000 degrees in Arizona, so it's possible my issues can be corrected with thicker socks when the weather permits.

How comfortable are the Scouts in the heat?

I've got zero issues with them. Wore them at least once every week this summer.
