La Canadienne

Usually not. Shearling compresses within the first few wears and the fit settles close to where it started, so taking your normal size is the safer bet. Sizing up to allow for the fleece tends to leave the heel slipping once the wool has packed down. If you plan to wear thick socks all winter, try both sizes on the same foot at the same time of day and judge by how the heel holds.

A leather lining moulds to the foot over time and manages moisture by absorbing it, which suits a boot worn for long stretches. Microfibre is lighter, dries faster and holds its shape rather than stretching, so it keeps a slim silhouette slim. Both are breathable. In practice leather is the more forgiving choice if your feet vary through the day, and microfibre the better one if you want the fit to stay exactly as bought.
