      I'm pretty sure that you and Giles wear the same size, or very close.

      You do need a pair of Wescos…

        I really do, I saw some beautiful footwear at Fish and Chips and I'm going to need some shortly. As Ned Stark would say, "Winter is coming".

            OMG.  I just found this thread.  Where have I been?  With my "boot problem"… I am blown away by some of these builds.  Awesome.

              Is that question directed at me?

                No, at me  😠 I thought I was well-informed about such things.  Do you plan to sell online, through your retail partners, or both?  You are doing some great stuff - really enjoyed flipping through this last night… I've been eyeing wescos for awhile but have resisted pulling the trigger so far.

                        Probably won't work for me unless they fit like a UK10.

                        @Giles were they too small for you? I think my feet are slightly bigger than yours.

                          It was mainly a width/instep problem for me.  I was unable to get them on due to my wide foot and high instep, so I do not know what they actually fit like.

                            I also have a high instep, so that more than likely rules me out to rock the green machines, super shame as they are bad ass  😠

                                The samples are for showing potential retailers/customers what we can do, not adorn peoples feet.  The current exception are the green ones, because the green is not what we will go into production with…..Sorry........ 😉 😉

                                    Can anyone with White's and Wesco comment on sizing?  Same/similar? Or Viberg/Wesco?

                                      I wear the same size in all three.  I'm not sure that's normal, though.

                                      More specifically- 10D in the Viberg service boot (2030 last), 10D in the White's Semi-Dress (both standard and Swing lasts), 10D in the Wesco Jobmaster (whatever their standard last for that model is).

                                        Thanks Chris, helpful - I'm 12D in Viberg and 12.5D in White's - so I think I'd be safe with a 12.5D in a Wesco.
