@rocket:

sounds good @Engineer, enjoy em…. can't wait till Monday to check out if mine will fit or not, so feel your pain @pillowPANTS

Waiting is the worst part…

I have to commend @Giles, I ordered on Monday, and these were here on Friday, halfway around the world.  Great service!

Thanks IH-UK crew!  (That should cover the bases, right?)

Have to agree with @Engineer on this one.  Placed my order from Seattle at around 14:30 UK time on Wednesday.  Matt responds to my order within 10 minutes making sure I was comfortable with the size I chose.  The order is booked and UPS has picked up the very next morning.  Supposed to be in my hands on Monday.  So efficient.

Mine arrived yesterday.  Initial impressions when opening the box…..  So much leather, my closet now smells like it.  After trying in vain to get one on with no plastic bag assistance I caved and used a bag.  Foot slid right in.  They are definitely snug, but after a little break in they will fit like a glove.  For reference I bought an 8.5D UK size, and wear a 9D US in Red Wing Iron Rangers, Frye Rogan Hikers, and Grenson Freds.  The height of the boot is great with a good amount of lower leg coverage but not so much that you would have to worry about the top of the boot causing an awkward mid-calf flair with slimmer pants.  They look awesome with a pair of 666-XHS. One of my favorite things about these is they justify a big cuff.  In my opinion these boots look the best with a good sized cuff that sits above the lower buckle.  The pant length @rocket is sporting on the previous page is right on point.

Some kind of boots are very snug in the beginning, so it can help to use a thin thrash bag over the whole feet with socks for an easier slide in/out or even folded laid in the inner backside of the boots.

For example like this

Interesting - I wear an 8.5 in IRs and an 8.5EE in these.  Are your toes right at the end of these boots?  I have about 3/8" of space in front of my big toe.
