The Relaunch of Firsthand Supply!

Hey friends,
We're very excited to announce the very first product line from Firsthand Supply's rebrand!
FHS has been a great partner for us for the past few years, we're so happy for their recent relaunch/remake of a classic community favorite. I want to share some of the rebranding and production convos we've had with FH:
MD: Tell us about the new Firsthand Supply!
FH: We are building a company that values people on both sides of the transaction. From how we source the ingredients and materials used in our products to our commitment to closed loop sustainable practices; everything we say, do, and make supports that truth.
In our pursuit to create the best hair products on the globe, our aim is to become the most human-centric consumer brand through honest sourcing, sustainable process, and a heavy dose of give-a-damn. Why? Because we believe people matter, so we make stuff that matters.

MD: What is the major difference in the new packaging...

Fit: Online comments suggest ordering a size 10, for example, rather than 10.5 (as a typical ideal fit). How about width? Is a standard D actually D width or slightly narrower or wider? D and 3E seem to be the only width options.
Models: So many.... Any advice/preferences/etc. in picking the style? An attempt at summarizing *boot* style variations:
- Original -- including a leather sole...
- Evans -- grippy sole, otherwise original style?
- Addison Wingtip -- fanciest?
- Rockford Cap-toe -- fancier...
- Harwell Chukka -- lower cut & fancier...
- Montague Chelsea -- slip-ons & grippy sole
- Courtland -- grippy sole & boxier toe??
- 'Cortado' -- full Vibram sole
I'll likely go for the Original, though the Evans is also appealing. Are leather or rubber soles 'better'?Color: How do the various color options wear over time? The black and brown are my likely choices, but which one?! :) Thoughts on color versatility with outfits? Is Cordovan No. 8 color a slightly reddish brown? Any dye leakage with wetness (rain, sweat, etc.)?
Any other advice is appreciated, such as 'Care.'
