I have never had boots from horsehide, what is the difference comparing to cow leather, I guess that domain leather is from cow skin?

Those S&S Axe Breakers are calling my name…

Can I get some sizing advice folks? I've got narrow, long feet.

Viberg 2030 in 10.5 fit like a dream; I can wear Real McCoys boondockers and engineer boots in size 10 and its a tight but comfortable fit; in Alden I can wear 10-11 in the Indy boot depending on sock thickness and lacing.

What size should I be looking for in the Axebreaker 1339 last? They offer all in 'E' width, should I enquire about a 'D' width if possible?

edit: Bulatik85 - I'm assuming you're asking specifically about horsehide, as opposed to cordovan. In my experience, horsehide is a smoother, shinier leather that is thinner and more pliable than cow.

Wesco will build whatever size you need. I'm an 11C in all of my builds

[Aries]

Ah apologies jdl1279, I should point out this is a build for Standard&Strange - https://standardandstrange.com/products/s-s-x-wesco-axe-breaker-horsehide-boot

They have a 10.5E that might fit, considering I'm 10.5 in Viberg's 2030, 10.5 generally in Alden's larger lasts, but just wanted advice from anyone with experience due to my freakish narrow but long feet.

[jdl1279]

Yeah, a stock boot might be a different story. Contact them and see what's available

@Aries It is a pre-order for S&S, though, right? Maybe worth reaching out to Neil and seeing if he can tack on your size to their order.

[Aries]

There’s actually one left in stock at 10.5E @Alex , but good advice regardless - I’ve reached out to Neil to see what he recommends.

FWIW my Vibergs service boots and Wescos are both 10D and fit roughly the same. I have no clue what last the service boots are, but I’m guessing whatever is standard.

Thanks @Appfaff , Viberg service boots are generally the 2030 last afaik so that’s good.

I’ve ordered the last remaining pair of 10.5E as left on the S&S site after talking with Jeremy, who reiterated what you said basically. My only concern is the E, rather than D.

Regardless he said we can do a return and custom order if they don’t fit so time will tell.

Solid - hope they work out for you dude!

Cheers! I'll post pics when they arrive (and if they fit).

Out of curiosity, are the black eyelets made from brass with black paint?

As well what material are the silver ones?

@Giles @Alex or anyone else who knows it, thanks.

A helpful sizing chart I was made aware of recently, check it out here

That is indeed really good, Thank you Adam.

Received the Wesco Axebreakers. Loving this 1339 last, great fit for my narrow feet.

[Seul]

Seriously  af

[marlin]

Wow, excellent pair of boots, outfit and style, congrats!

[Max Power]

@Aries What they said - great style and great boots!

[Aries]

Thanks guys; boot is a bit tight on the left big toe (left foot bigger than right), but I’m sure given a few weeks it’ll loosen up.

[Appfaff]

Those look solid dude - glad the sizing worked out!
