Boom. Sorted. What would I do without G… Besides being financially in the clear, driving a BMW 850i '19, and living in a 6 bedroom villa in the south of France...

Haha yeah but at least you look good

Well my boots do…

@Alex

My 13D US RW Iron Rangers are a little narrow. I assume to go fo a 13 US EE ?

[Alex]

I think that could work, or perhaps a 13.5E

I think I am going buy these boots, but like some of the others, I don't own any Wescos so really hard to guess sizing.

I am a 10-10.5D tweener in US sizing on a brannock.
I wear a USA 9.5D in all my RW boots including 877, Iron Ranger, Beckman, classic round toe
I wear a UK 9D in Tricker's stow boots (these are reputed to run true to size)
I wear a UK 8.5D in Tricker's bourton (these are reputed to run slightly big)
I wear a USA size 10D in Oakstreet Bootmakers trench boots (these are reputed to run true to size)
I wear a USA 10D in most running/tennis shoes, but once in a while I require a 10.5D

By reading this thread it sounds like folks would recommend a USA 9.5E in the Wesco boot.  Please let me know your thoughts while I dream about these boots.

I think that just about sums it up. I’d suggest 9.5E too.

Size 11 in Vans Slip-Ons
Size 10 in Buzz Rickson Sneakers
Size 10 in John Lofgren Sneakers
Never owned boots before
What size am I for these?

Edit: After doing some research, I think I’d be 9.5E. Is that right?

Looking for sizing recommendation…

Brannock: 11.5 EE left; 11.5 EEE right

Boots:
Viberg Engineer 11 2005 last
Truman 11.5 EE US
Red Wing Roughneck 10.5 EE US
Alden: I have tried on the Indy boot on Barrie last. 10.5 US was perfect in length, D width no bueno.

Sneakers:
New Balance 11.5 US
Vans: 12 US; Vault: 11.5 US
Converse CT: 11 US
Adidas: 12 US
Widths are always problematic, with all of them. NB and Vans are generally much more accommodating.

I want to say, I'd be size 11. The width gets tricky, though. I'm thinking EE, at least, if not EEE.

@Vintage:

Really digging these boots. Never owned a pair of Wesco boots before so I feel like I'm going in blind on a preorder. I'm a 10D-US on most of my Red Wing Hertitage boots,  9.5 US on Lofgren Combats and 10.5-US on most sneaker and hiking boots. Any coments or comparisons from Wesco owners would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I would go for a 10E.

Thanks for the sizing tip. After doing some internet sizing reviews on Wesco, the 10-E seems to be the right fit for me. I missed out on the JL Black Cats from SS which I really liked, but think these Wesos will fit the bill as the look is similar.

9.5E is my best guess yes

I would go 11EEE, if your feet are different widths then you may find one is looser than the other, but the only way to resolve that is to pay the money to have a custom last made to your feet (one fee for all future Wescos)

After building myself up a few hours at a time the boots are now nicely broken in and super comfy 

[wdw]

I'm 11D in Boss and Jobmaster.  I guess an 11E would be the same here?

The the narrower Motor Patrol toe a slightly longer boot to compensate?

[neph93]

In this leather I’d consider a wider fitting unless you have a lot of room in your Jobmasters. I don’t think you need to size up for length.

You mean wider than E, which is already wider than my D Boss and Jobmasters?

[Alex]

I'd go 11E if the 11D stock jobmaster fits well

No, sorry I meant you’re right to go for E.

[wdw]

Ordered.  I tried to resist, but it was futile.

@Alex, as a matter of interest, what length are the laces?  I find laces generally come in shorter than I like, so usually buy longer ones.

[Alex]

Pass, @wdw

All wesco boots come with stock nylon (we cannot change the length) and a pair of the longest leather that we stock in the best matching colour, in this case black.

Thanks, @Alex, no biggie.  I'm never a fan of stock nylon laces anyway, so will get whatever increased length I got for my 7 hole Trickers and IRs.  The leather laces could be interesting, though, similar to my Lennon boots.  .
