I have one of size 13 in stock now !

[Giles]

@trail and arrow You want that pair?

@Kurt-faith Do you have an 11.5 too?

[trail and arrow]

@Giles - i normally wear 12.5 in viberg, with quite thick socks,
and guessing that a pair of WandA's in12 would work with thin socks, yes?

I don't think so.

@Giles if you get the size 13 pair in then if they don't fit @trail and arrow I'll take them off you.

I've got slightly bigger feet than him, so the chances are they'll fit one of us… And if they fit both, I'll know what to order next time.

Thanks.

Hopefully you've got some better shots on the way. These bad boys need some more real world shots for sure. Also, how you finding them?

[stingray1381]

They are fantastic. Built like tanks and extremely comfortable.  The color is awesome, and I'm loving the shape.

I made a trip down to visit @Giles and @Madame Buttonfly in Gosvegas today, and tried on the WandAs in a size 13. I'm a UK13 / US14 / US48, and they were bang on size for me.

I was wearing my pair of Red Wing Beckmans (size 13), and the fit was similar. So if you need another point of comparison..

The shoes are beautifully made, feel very solid, and comfortable out of the box.

So I adopted the big ones, and their smaller sisters are en route to @trail and arrow in Germany.

Graeme,
Great looking kicks….show some pics of these boats on your feet.

I'll get some pictures up in the next day or two.

The leather is starting to crease up, and I think they'll look great after a bit of wear. Vegetable tanned shoes develop fantastic character.

I wore my pair all day, fresh out of the box. I walked about 4 miles / 6.5 km, and didn't have any problems. The sole was comfortable underfoot. I thought it might have been much harder. Traction seems reasonable, but they need to be tested in the rain. It's too early to know how they'll wear.

In the big sizes the shoes look a bit less extreme than the original ones posted. But they're still a bit crazy.
