What happened?  They didn't put the soles on you wanted?

[ben2t]

it's fine, i learned that if you order with the half mini lug sole it's standard that they put double tiny midsole even if you choose single midsole as an option. i wrongly opted and pay for the  double regular midsole that Baker's corrected.

Fits is perfect! only thing i don't like is the black stitching on the sole wanted it white!

It's only a coating Ben, rub it off with a key, a penny or a tool of your choosing. Good investment.

Great posts the last days - makes my craving for some whites stronger and stronger. Unfortunately I won't be able to afford them in the next months and I won't buy boots in the summer. But maybe next fall

Finally (second try) DHL managed to send my foot tracings to Bakers`. Kyle responded quickly and he recommends size 10EE.
I was quite surprised by that - a have a 11.5US (10.5UK) in my Redwings 8138.

Most people here stated having the same sizes in RW and White´s. What do you guys think - maybe a correlation with my wide feet?

[tigerpac]

^depends on the last but I find the SD last to run narrow so that might make sense.

[specmvl]

It´s the standard last and I am totally fine with EE. Was a little bit concerned about the massive difference in length so I got back to Kyle who then gave me the advice to take 10.5 instead of 10. Still a whole size in difference while most of guys here wearing RW´s and White´s in identical length.

^ If you've got quite wide feet then it probably makes sense, even a full size down. Every width up from the standard D adds somewhere in the the region of a half inch in total circumference to the boot which roughly translates to a couple of mm all over so two widths above the norm will also be increasing thee goth slightly at the same time. It has to work that way to keep te shape of the boot/ last in tact. Hope that helps.

[specmvl]

It does indeed! Thank you, sir.
