          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.

                                            I was wondering about the size of those boots.. weather they can fit you G-san.. IIRC you are a 9UK in most boots? Anyway, you'll figure out a way to make them fit.. Take away two more toes..?
