      sirxlaughs, sorry man but I have no experience with Alden. I find that Whites generally fit half a size big.

      michaeljcr, if you're usually a UK9.5 I would go with a US10.

        I just registered for this. Glad to be a part of it with everyone. I'm looking forward to using and lovingly abusing my first pair of White's.  😉
        Does anyone have any insight as to the sizing? I want to be as sure as possible before ordering. I've read that the semi-dress last fits similar to Alden's trubalance last (I'm an 8E in my Indy's), and was going to order the same.

        Fits very similar to trubalance however, trubalance is wider than semi dress last

            I'm up for a promotion at work.  If I get it, I'll be ordering a pair of White's like nobody has ever seen.  And if I don't, I'll be in Danner x Tanner Goods Mountain Trail Left Banks.

            Here's hoping for some managerial wisdom!

              Just a quick post to clear up sizing: UK sizing is one half size smaller than US sizing. Thus, a UK 9.5 is a US 10. They are exactly the same size, just expressed differently.

              I am a US 12. In the UK, 11.5. In Japan, 30. In Germany and France, 46 2/3. But, they are all the same, the difference is in the expression.

                Thanks for the sizing help, d666.

                So far, the configuration I'm thinking of is #8 CXL vamp and counter with natural CXL upper, 6" height, celastic toe, red liner, single midsole, standard height with 90 degree heel, brass eyes/hooks, and the vibram 100 lug.

                                        Really? I've had no problems getting answers from Kyle via email. His first response took a day, but after that it's been within a couple of hours. Maybe your email went to spam?

                                            I think that was right about the time he was out sick.  Your email may have just gotten buried by mistake.  Doesn't make it any better, I know, but that doesn't sound like Kyle to ignore emails for a week.  Perhaps another email would help?  Failing that, a phone call should get results.  Sorry your experience had been so frustrating, VO.
