      with my experience with wesco . is you always size 1 up from your whites. period. but again thats just me. and fit is perfect spot on

      Ed, do you really stand by this statement? I have never owned Wesco's but have had plenty of White's and I have ever heard anyone make this claim before about sizing up 1 size from your White's size. You have more experience than most with these brands, so I'd like to trust your advice.

        BH…Loving Vib 100 makes you strange... 😉 Where's your ice and snow in Cali.?

        Illumi....whatever...

        I measured like Wesco advices, and got my usual 9D as a result...Don't know it that helps at all, but my 9Ds' fit like they should. I know nothing about white's

          yes maybe not a whole size half a size up is more accurate. because wesco's have insoles and whites doesnt.

              Yes, half a size up from White's is accurate in my experience.

                    Never had a sizing issue with Wescos, I have size 7's and 7 1/2's. I've found out by trial and error that the
                    higher the heel the more room you need, when I get boots with a higher heel I go a half size larger because
                    your foot tends to slide forward when your heel is higher.

                      That's one reason why I opted I lift lower heel.

                      And to think of it, I switched Wescos insoles to thin leather ones, as I didn't like the bounciness of wescos insoles…

                        I don't mind the insoles though leather ones would be nice…Can't find them here, just the foam insoles.
                        Custom sizing can be tricky, I've never tried it, I just go with my usual size and when in doubt I go a half size
                        up. So far it's worked.

                            EVERYTHING is spot-on with these except for the toe-rub issue.  I'm sure that its due to the lace-to-toe design, which my feet/toes don't seem to like.  The left foot/boot relationship is going well, but the right side hasn't conformed just yet.  But to be fair to the boots, I've only worn them approx. 8 hours total, so I'm hopeful they'll come around.  And I haven't worn heavy socks yet so I'm sure that would help as well, I just wanted some ideas on how to get some quick relief if possible!

                              The great thing about lace-to-toe is that you can make fit adjustments all the way to the toes. It might sound overly obvious, but try loosening the laces all the way down and see if that helps your comfort level.  I've had my Jobmasters for over a year now, and I still have days where I get that rubbing.

                              Wait, I just reread your post. Do you mean the tips of your toes are rubbing or the sides?

                                It's the top of my toes that rub.  I've got another pair of boots that have a formed toe box and they rub the tops of my toes too.  I don't think my feet/toes are funky (not in shape anyway!), so I'm sure others have similar woes from time to time.  I'll just keep wearing them a few hours at a time and hopefully the hotspot will conform soon.

                                    i have owned two wesco's and they were 9,5 E, while my white's are 9E and 9EE depending on the model. (i add width to those i am lkely to wear with thicker socks). i'd say the wesco's run a bit smaller, but probably not a full size.
