I've got some 2045 commando boots on the way from Division Road. They advised I size down from a 10.5 sneaker size to a size 9. I hope this is right. Jason seemed convinced that a 9.5 or a 10 would be too big.
Either way I am very excited. I hope they are wide enough. But he said the last is like a 4E wide in the fore foot.
-
I keep looking at these. I am so stoked.
-
I wear a 10.5 in sneakers, though I'm an ordinary D width. Years ago, I bought a size 9 in the 2035 last. They were snug at first, but they broke in beautifully. That's the pair of green service boots I wear all the time. Since the 2045 is wider, I think these will work out for you. Those are certainly damn nice looking boots.
-
Thanks Chris! The other thing I am wondering is if the wax will transfer to my jeans much?
Although I think it could be worth it because these look crazy awesome with a patina.
-
I don't have any personal experience with waxed rough out boots, but I'd guess it wouldn't transfer enough to notice. That's only a guess, though.

As a public service announcement, Cultizm are having an Easter sale with most things - including Viberg Service Boots in a few different colorways - at 20% off, with free international shipping. That seems to make them a bit of a deal, right? This particular boot is built on their 2030 last; no idea how is the fit & sizing of that one but some you are no doubt familiar with it.
-
I think 2030 is one size down from your sneaker size.
Unrelated, I still haven't received my boots from Division Road. UPS ground carbon neutral is probably the slowest shipping service I have ever seen! I hope they fit because by the time I receive them it will he beyond the 14 day window I would be able to return them.

I had the same experience, a few months back, when I ordered my crust horsehide engineers from them. I wouldn't worry, though. If memory serves, you get 14 days from the date of delivery, not purchase.

Thanks a lot!
-
Great to hear! Thanks @Engineer also AMAZING boots there.
-
@Chris the boots fit great and the are mind-blowing! I am almost speechless. Holy smokes.
-
I really enjoyed the presentation of the boots and how they were packaged a lot! One of the most positive customer service experiences I have ever had. Everything from the phone calls about sizing, emails and follow up was impeccably handled. Division Road is awesome.

Glad they fit and that you're happy with them. I said it before, but it beats repeating- they are really good looking boots.

I am really digging the orthotic support in these. Also the roomy round toe is great. I am not keen on boots with poiny toes.

Thanks a lot!

They look boss.
How's the orthotic support built in these, is it like the arch is heavily curved, White's style? You are normally more of a flat last guy, isn't that right? I seem to remember a DIY-project of yours, flattening a pair of Romeos?
