@Megatron1505:

I have Whites in D, E and EE, and can't really tell much difference to be honest.

Haha, you should try to get measured up to see what your true size is man.

Why, they all fit fine.

Well, I was always under the impression that the whole point of the measuring procedure White's has you go through  is to fit you to the right size.

It is, but my boots fit me fine, so…..

right on.  not knocking you or your choice.

[Megatron1505]

I know, and I'm not trying to be a dick. If I was getting boots custom made I'd definitely get sized correctly, the only point I was making is that mine are all different widths, with no real noticeable difference (to me) in fit.

Besides, he's got boots that have between made with different lasts, which affects the fit.  Those might all actually be his correct size for those configurations.  Which is why knowing your "correct size" still doesn't prevent buying without trying on from being a complete crap shoot.

Did they come with a kiltie? If so do a pimp shot.

exactly… even the choice of having w/ or w/o Celastic toe will affect the actual fit.  e.g. for me:

Alden Indy 8E = SD 8E = SD 8.5D = SD 8D Swing last = SJ 8.5E

Custom clearance went very well the kind people of bakers boots helped me sort that out!

@Seul:

You gonna import some Oxfords, perhaps?..

Hi Seul,

That's the aim at some point, keeping a list if the popular so any thoughts always appreciated.

@tmg:

Nice selection of boots Jamie, but I notice that they all share a (lowered) block heel - do you have any with the standard angled heel?

Hi tmg,

I maybe wrongly thought that it was a safe look for us Brits and Euro's. The next round of a bulk order I do will be more mixed up, colours and heels etc.. Plus am hoping people can build their own if they fancy. Same thing with the lowered heel, the standard is quite high as you know on all three styles, just though they looked a bit more everyday wearable lower. Trial and error

Cheers.

I think its a good initial approach Jamie
