      I was not suggesting a custom last, I was suggesting a specific size build.

        I’ve had sizing issues before and like that Nicks has samples they will se d you for fitting to make sure you’re getting a proper fit. Do you happen to know how wescos fit with respect to brannock measurements? I’ve done the trace and measure the foot with viberg before it was a mess so fearful of going that route again

        Sorry, no clue on the Brannock; I haven't used one in forever. I'm consistently a size 10D in boots and I don't have any foot problems, so I'm generally pretty comfortable ordering online without extra guidance.

          @tatmantall Depending on the boot/sole style you are after there can be some variance. I'm happy to have the conversation with you and try and narrow it down to a stock last size that may work for you. We can have a custom fit form sent out to you so that we can get an idea of your foot shape and see if we can line that up with a stock size. For that perfect fit though, going for a custom last really is the best route to go. Feel free to send me a DM or email me at alex.chesson@ironheart.co.uk

            I appreciate you bumping this thread because I noticed something available from Baker's that was not available before. For a $40 charge White's will send you a try on boot too. @tatmantall

            As soon as I can find a 11 x 17 printer I am going to place an order. 😄

              Anybody have some White's Hiker boots they wear with IH?

              Been eyeing some service boots for awhile, but hiker boots are a little more my style. Curious how they mesh up with denim and flannel.

              777 fit in heavyweight, plz

              Wish list:
              IHSH-75-IND
              IHJ-85-BLK

                    I really like the silhouette of the boot. Enjoy them!

                          Has anybody tried to get their celastic toe boxes removed (Like this:

                          )? Have gotten tired of the looks of my single celastic toe box in my Semi Dress boots. Contacted a high profile shoemaker (self proclaimed "shoegod") here in Germany who sells Red Wings und repairs Wesco, Viberg and such. Answer: Not offering that kind of service. Is it that hard to do? Any recommendations, maybe even in Continental Europe?

                            Yeah, that's a shit ton of work. A full resole would be less trouble.

                            In the comments, they say they offer the service for $100, plus shipping, which sounds entirely reasonable. Maybe you could get them to do it?

                              I ordered a pair of Oxfords through Bakers. Should be here in 4-5 months. Looking forward to wearing them in the warmer weather.

                                I saw that, too. Agree on the price if shipping to Taiwan is reasonable. Full resole would be fine as well but I have no clue if that attracts a shoemaker in Europe. Seems to be no standard procedure.  :-
                                Anyway, thanks a lot!

                                      I was thinking the other day, “Man I’d really love to have a pair of oxblood oxfords like back in the old days.”  Then I saw these yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about them…

                                        I don’t own a pair of oxfords, but I’ did see those drop on Friday and thought damn those are sweet. From the chonk sole to the extra half slip. I dig them a lot

                                          Just put the order in for these bad boys with a 430 sole. Dont know what sole this picture is running. Bakers says 4-5 months but I think it will most likely be longer.
