            Yeah, am tempted to go 1/2 up on my Viberg. SO US9 to US9.5.

              @Snowy As far as weight goes mate, they feel lighter on my feet than what the IHVB 04 do, which I think you own as well.

              In saying that, they are in no way lightweight as far as construction goes.  The leather seems to have a lot of give and sort of moulds to your foot… Super comfortable.

              It feels like I had no "break in" sorness etc with these at all.  Along with my RMW , these would be the most comfortable fitting pair of boots from the start.

              I'm the same size as Giles, and mine are a 10E. I have the IHWE B2 in a 10D and was originally after a "D" in the Foot Patrols as well. I 'm glad Giles talked me into the "E" as the FP is a more narrow fit.

              And back to the "can you wear them around the city all day?"  I would say easily. I can wear mine all day with bugger all sorness at the end of it.

                  ….and ordered!

                  Using http://www.rmwilliams.com.au/EsaImages/ContentPageImage/SizeChart.HTML for my sizing guide I went from US9.5D to US10E here. As a wide-foot, E sounds good.

                  Very excited. Looking forward to walking around the city all day in a pair, which is where my feet find themselves more often now.

                        Great pick up @Snowy , looking forward to reading your impressions of them. These are your first Wesco's right?

                          @Megatron1505 yup, first Westco. @Winchy has been a good help in sizing. Imagine they'll ship tomorrow.

                            I have plans for these to be 'the' shoe I take on holidays next. Fingers crossed.

                              These boots are now 10KM's (6Miles) from my house at the UPS collection centre, prior to delivery attempt. It's Good Friday. so UPS is closed. Next time they are open is Tuesday next week, when they will be delivered to me at work. 4 days off, boots 10K's away, and can't do anything. Funny how these things go sometimes.

                                That would do my head in mate, so close but yet so far away… I call covert Op into UPS collection centre.

                                    Ha! I have broken into DHL's old building before. Am filling my weekend in other ways ::) (and will be calling them first thing tomorrow, just to confirm they meant closed all of easter, not just closed on easter friday)

                                        Got a human on the phone this morning….short of flying a plane load of cargo to the warehouse, it's closed.

                                        @pillowPANTS yes, a little nuts and then some!

                                          Okay, so they are here (and on my feet!). I know 1/2 a size smaller would have been too small in length/width for my larger foot. Still trying to work out if I've nailed the fit or not.

                                          Thoughts on them;
                                          1)They are light; just what I was after!
                                          2)Stitching is perfect
                                          3)The Rough-Out is beautiful
                                          4)Speed hooks are spot on
                                          5)Impressed!

                                          Will try get some pictures up on the weekend. 11pm local time, trying to figure out what to do whilst walking up and down a small carpeted room not the easiest ::)

                                            Worn indoors all week, felt like I'd sized right.

                                            Wore outside today for the first time. On the feet for 9 hours, 10.5KMs, no blisters, no heal slip, still felt light as a breeze, they're a keeper!
