White's Boots
-
My feet are kind of an anomaly. I used to work for Allen Edmonds so I became pretty good at fitting people and I was never able to fit myself perfectly in their shoes but I've been able to wear anything from a 9D-10E. Most of them being in the 9.5eee range. The kicker is on a brannock device I measure an 11D-E!
I generally fit myself based on where the arch hits. I might try and make a trip up to NYC and try on a few more sizes this coming week.
Or take a vacation to Bakers and be fitted by Kyle himself

If I'm a US 7 in Wesco packer last, should I bet a 7 for White's semidress?

@NorthernVictory - speaking for me only, I have both of those boots, and I wear the same size in both (but I'm sure you will get varying opinions on the comparison of one brand's sizing vs. another). The only thing I would say is a D width in my SD feels just a tad wider/roomier through the instep than a "D" in the Packer - when tied up, the laces pull closer together in the Whites… But both are comfortable and fit well.

I wear the same size with the Wesco Jobmaster last and both the White's swing last and standard semi-dress last.

Just wanted to chime in that im currently waiting on a pair of nomads through bakers that i ordered in early november. I know alot of people have been asking about differences in ordering since the company changed hands and thought id share my experiences:
Biggest thing i noticed is that they will not use the white/sand 2021 sole on as many things as they used to. I ordered a pair of whites nomads with the 2021 sole and bakers told me they would have to put the sole on in house, whereas i got a yes at a different dealer but only in the black color.
They will no longer change the height of the nomad or the strap config and i got an "ill check but probably no" on a last change. No two tones whatsoever and no shipping without hardware. No block heel. Basically the only options you can have on nomads now are smooth or cxl and minilug or 700.
I remember them being hesitant on wacky colors for the nomad in the past but most of these are definitely new changes.
It seems like they are pretty much cracking down on options in an attempt to standardize the whole line. I asked about horsehide and cordovan on the semidress and was told these are only through bakers now and if you want them get them soon because they are probably going away altogether.

Oh hey I just got an email from Kyle telling me that whites has killed the leather liner on nomads now as well. Glad i waited like two months for that. This order may end up going to Wesco….

No. Distressed RO
My pair really need some new soles… Comfy as feck. -
I really need a pair of these
-
sorry @riffblaster general totally missed your post. Johannes is right, but I want to add they're the most comfortable and IMO best looking boots/shoes I own. I'll definitely get another pair soon, they're just a dream to walk in.
