VEB can also help with his sizing experiences. I think they're on the blog.

Thx MC, I've read the VEB blog… also checking other forums - and eMailed Speedway (haven't heard back).  Lots of conflicting views out there, from TTS to run .5 big.  Of course the experience could be different for different sizes in the spectrum too... always an adventure, sometimes you just have to jump.

I'll be very thorough when I post

^You're awesome [that's not coming out right, meaning thanks  ]

Package Sitting at Chicago ISC for the past few days…. Man I dislike that place.

[Bluegrass]

Wow, nice….. happy for you - won't be long.

[mclaincausey]

Mine too. I'm out of town anyway but when I get back I'm hoping to scoop em!

Haha thanks Snowy

[tatmantall]

Boots are in… Usps came by while I was out to lunch so I go pay the customs and pick them up in a few hours... Pics soon to come

[superfuzz]

Awesome new tatman! Can't wait to hear/see how they fit. How much was customs?

[tatmantall]

A little over $60 usd

[superfuzz]

Oh that's not bad at all. Good to know.

[tatmantall]

Yeah it was certainly better than I was expecting…

[tatmantall]

They are here and fit amazing! Can't believe how crazy boot sizing is. These 11 1/2 fit perfect, almost zero heel slip the leather is very supple as well. Attention to detail is superb… I will say though that these definitely arent heavy duty as my wescos (weigh about half as much), not that weight means better construction they may be equally well built) but these seem to be a bit more of a "dress boot" if that makes sense. Either way very happy with them and will definitely purchase the badalassi when abvailable.

• just noticed....Sorry for the upside down pics...

[mclaincausey]

Super glad they fit. You're normally a 12 in US right?  I went TTS, hope it works!

[tatmantall]

Normally a 12 or even 13

[mclaincausey]

Now I'm a bit nervous. If they are too big I have the possible recourse of an insole. We will see!

[tatmantall]

Shitll buff out remember I have fallen arches and like my boots tight I would imagine you'll be ok and if notihing else insole will fix it but honestly compared to some other boots I have owned these are comfortable out of the box

[superfuzz]

Glad they worked out for you! Wescos are HEAVY!!!! If I had the $$ I'd probably pick up a size 7. Unfortunately, I'm broke. 

[Bluegrass]

Tat, do these come with an insole??  Oh and by the way, they rock - nice!  Congrats on a great purchase!

I'm thinking I can do a 12, I'm also a 12/13, 12.5 in White's - if/when they are available again, that is.

Just LOVE your boots - the muskhaven WESCOs too.    So jealous!

[tatmantall]

Thanks for the kind words! They don't come with an insole but they are as comfortable as my wescos with the insole. The foot bed feels terrific, I hope your able to grab a pair. I can tell you the measurements on an 11 1/2 was 13" wall to toe and 4 5/8" at the widest part measured across the sole if that will help you compare against your boots, that's how I sized mine. Thanks again bud!
