      In contrast, my experience with the standard last SJs is they fit tts; #55 last, I've learned I need to size down 1/2

        Yeah that's the tough part, different feet are different shapes

                I have no experience with White's boots. I heard they run a little large.  I'm thinking of taking a gamble on a pair on thAy.

                What size am I in White's  in Chippewa, Danner, etc.?

                Here's the pair I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whites-boots-/281250005473?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item417bce81e1

                that's my pair. have them listed here as well in the buying and selling thread.  funny thing is I get traffic from some honest forum members on ebay and then I get the weird stalker dudes that bid and just sort of watch everything I do.

                in any event think they might be too small for you seth, but as previously stated everyone s feet are different

                head high, middle finger higher

                            I think I ordered a celastic toe…
                            Cougar uses the Northwest last, Bounty Hunters are Smokejumpers with the Semi Dress last. My oxfords have the NW last, I can do some pics...
                            The NW last is my favorite last, some days ago I ordered a Black Rough-Out Cougar 🙂

                              ive seen lots of pics, and I know I prefer the SD last to the SJ last….but I havent seen much about the NW last. I only ran across the cougar because the spec that I'm interested in (brown/red dog roughout with a christy sole) looks a lot like the default cougar on bakers website.

                              unrelated question: I'm assuming that a boot built with a christy/2021 sole can be resoled to any other type of vibram (100, 430, etc). Correct?

                                SD last is not so bulky, SJ last is bulky and you have enough room for your toes (if you have some), the NW last is something between, its a little bit "rounder" than the SD last.

                                A good cobbler should do the job, but dont forget, the cougar has a different construction on the welt, dont know if it´s a problem, but it will look different.

                                  Baker's only offers the cougar with the wedge sole, but i've seen a picture of a cougar with a vibram 430 on the ultrasound Facebook page… so that tells me it can be done.

                                    I dont find em (too many boots on their page haha), but yeah, I think it can be done 🙂 I like the 2021 and the 4041 (cristy), especially the 2021, dont ask me why, I just like em.

                                      Haha, I'd have hard time finding them too - you can go blind looking at boots on their page! But i def. remember seeing them and thinking it was unusual…

                                        Thanks! I agree, after checking my feet on a Brannock Device, I think these will be a bit too small for me. Good luck.

                                            Thanks Bretro! And since I crapped up the thread with so many questions, here are my Farmer Ranchers when they were new:

                                            Really loving these. The Farmer Rancher seems to get a lot less love than BH's or SJ's but they look great. I'm thinking custom in black…  :-\
