        I don't remember. I sent for the custom fit form first. Then i emailed the customer service after i got the form. They said it was ok, and gave me an address to send the buckles too. then i sent in the custom fit form and the order form at the same time. Then about a week later i got an email that my order was accepted and they charged my card.

              Hey Pelican, Nice build! How did the custom fit option work out for you? I got that too. I hope my girlfriend did a good tracing.

                  It seems from what I've read wesco run pretty tts, have you all found this to be the case? Leaning in this direction for a black pair with mp toe… Just needing to find sone roller buckles and try to figure sizing out... Needing them to be pretty narrow across the upper to accommodate my low Instep, this is the one thing I don't like about my vibergs

                              Yeah is a lot, but when u consider they will rebuild them almost brand new for $200 is a deal. That's one thing that definitely makes wescos appealing.  I don't like viberg engineers except for one pair and they were like 1500

                              The narrows cost like 1600 lol.

                                I don't understand why they were so much- using the Wesco website, that build looks like it would price out at around $450.  Are you not in the US?

                                  I think base price is 450 then every option or deviation from normal you add is extra. Custom fit is $100 custom buckles is like $25 or $35. Shipping $20. Black fire leathet fee, 10" height fee, lining fee, black stitching fee, etc… It adds up fast. They were really 840 but then shipping $20 and i bought a bottle of silicone protectant and extra insoles was another $20 so 880 total.

                                    Hey Tatman, you might want to consider the custom fit option. It's an extra $100, but you send in measurements for your instep, so it should fit really well. I chose that option, and I should get my boots in about a month, so I'll post about how they fit once I get them.

                                      Awesome. I was considering that but my viberg "custom fit didn't turn out too custom.. I think guessing would have been just as accurate but I have done some reading about how wesco does this and it seems to be a truer custom fitting

                                        Custom fit worked awesome for me. I had heard some horror stories, but maybe they just didn't do it right. Wear some thick wool socks and keep ur pencil completely vertical. They send u a measuring tape- make sure ur measuremnt is from zero not the end of the tape. Everything should be fine

                                          I hope I did the custom fit right. I had my girlfriend check and recheck it and she's pretty meticulous, so hopefully it worked. I'll know in about a month…
