Hi guys,

Thanks for the advice. I spoke with Kyle by phone and as per his advice I will mail the actual scan. Just  talking to him I told him I take size 9D in Red Wing Moc Toe and 9E in Alden Indy due to the narrow toe box. He said he was the same size in all three of those shoes. Has your experience on the SD last been the same. Same across in the size and width.

Thanks,
Jay

A decent interview with a guy from White's regarding boot care, socks and all kinds of other shit we argue about online:)

Took delivery of these from Baker's Shoes a couple of weeks ago.  I'm very pleased with how they turned out; Kyle's customer service, the fit, and the overall look.

Yes indeed! Mine are still at least 6 weeks away

[Jordan23]

How should this fit? Real snug and tight or do i need some space especially when having celastic toes?

Enjoy ya addiction!

A little room in the toe is how I like mine.

Thx Mega, wasn't sure. I have a Bounty Hunter here and i have a little space. So  i ve found out right size for my Contest Pair.;)

The pair i have here has a single sole. Let me tell you they are much heavier than Viberg Service Boots!!!

Enjoy ya addiction!

I apologize if this has been beaten to death, but where in this thread (ie page number) may I be able to find pros and cons of getting a double mid sole + standard height heel?

Thanks,

Lovely pair Andi..
