      I think we said that they were a pair of Crocs for poor delusional English wanker…

      Works for me.

      EDIT: and by the way, ouch [emoji15]

      @neph93 asked me to clarify the wanker bit, he asked me to use his words "a sheep shagging Welsh tosser"

      All clear now?

      It's all in the details. If that "English" jibe had been allowed to stand my feelings could have been irreparably hurt. [emoji25]

        Ever tried to unpack a pair of Wesco's your dying to get your hands on, quietly while everyone is sleeping? Tough job, but I did it. Now to quietly introduce them to everyday life without anyone noticing. Dark Arts.

        Review and fit pics to follow, but here's a serious fit question: Is a bit of pinch in the width and in-step on a brand new pair normal? Otherwise there is no heel slip and I can wiggle my toes.

            Definitely… My Vibergs were snug width-wise at first, but fit like sneakers after a month or so...

              Yep, mine were a touch snug, not enough to hurt mind you, but with a couple days of wear have loosened up perfectly. The upper and double mids are still quite stiff yet, but the fit is spot on

                Thank you gentlemen. They do not hurt, just pinch, so I think I'm good.

                  Worn in anger for the first time today together with my new 555N. So a bit snug from the balls of my feet right up to my, uhm, balls.

                  They're going to be great.

                    Great look though! I like engineers paired with a slightly smaller hem as well. Hate it when people buy amazing boots and then they're being swallowed by a gigantic hem and too long an inseam.

                      Yup. Although I'm generally guilty of having too long an inseam. Both my 666's are off to the seamstress tomorrow to get them Wesco-ready.

                      Also, thanks for the kind words [emoji4]

                          Pull ons, may have too much slip.

                              @riffblaster general Size for size, White's should be larger than Wesco, so a 9E Wesco is likely too short.  I wear 9.5D in Wesco, 8.5 in White's Swing Last, 9 in Vibergs.

                                And to further muddy the waters, I'm a size 10D in all three brands (White's Swing and SD last, Wesco Jobmaster, Viberg 2030).

                                I'd agree that length might be a problem if you go down a half size, but there's no way to be sure without trying.

                                        The boot in particular is the factory second 7" jobmaster regular toe lacing pattern with an mp toe profile size 9E.  I'm a 9.5D in the White's Oxford.

                                          You will be fine then Nate, the Whites oxfords fit almost a size larger than SD's.
