            His business Seul, not mine.  I have no idea.  I bought my pair from him and I paid more than had I purchased them from US (which I could have done easily).  But as you all know, that is what happens when you buy "out of country"….....

                    In my opinion (having worn both) the Whites are half a size bigger than the Red Wings.

                        So you're both saying that I should get a size 8?
                        I had a feeling you guys might say that, but now am sure.. Thanks! 😘

                          Just a sec, I wear a 12 (US) in both Red Wing and Whites, the Whites are a little more roomy hence my comment. Depends on your preference - if your Whites build is very robust you may like a bit more room.

                            I have/had 4 pair of White's and probably 8 or more Red Wings. If someones experience with RW was with a moc toe boot then I guess I could agree the White's semi dress last may feel a half size bigger, but that RW moc toe is a narrow last. I will always buy my same size Red Wing as White's, 10.5D. I do not have a very voluminous foot but I am not a C width. Just my opinion. What Red Wings do you have?

                              My Red Wing experience is with GT's and the rough out chukka (forgot the model number). However, it is worth pointing out that there is quite a size/ fit difference between the Whites Semi Dress and the Oxford (I have both) of around half a size.

                              I would match my Red Wing size for SD's, but go down half a size for Oxfords. Just my personal experience, if you want to be more sure, email Kyle at Bakers.

                                Yeah, chatting to Kyle is the best bet. FYI: He advised that if I took a 12 in the RW Iron Ranger then I should have a 12 in the Whites too

                                  I think the only problem here is that there isn't really a "White's" fit. Oxfords, SD's and SJ's all fit very differently, which can have quite a bearing on choosing the right size. Same can be said of Red Wings.

                                  I can tell you what the Oxfords fit like in comparison to Red Wing GT's or Chukkas, I can't tell you what they fit like in comparison to Moc Toe Red Wings.

                                  Go to Kyle, we may all be (unintentionally) blowing smoke up your ass.

                                    So, also bigger than the RW Chukkas?..

                                        Kyle is the man, but White's does offer a sizing "pattern", so why not go with that if you're unsure of your size?  But I guess if you're not having them custom made that would pose a problem…  The saga continues...

                                          i think it would help solve the problem cause the folks at White's could look at the template & say okay based on the measurements you sent in you are size ** width **

                                          at least from the template they sent me it seemed to work like that.  ah, the joys of e-commerce
