We'll take care of you!  She left for the day already (4:30PM…lucky girl) - so if you're waiting on another email she'll get back to you in the AM....Alright, few more hours at the studio today - I'm working on so many new things - they're all a ways away from anything near done, but getting there 

[hectic]

no worries man, mostly I wanted your view on stretch? I wont gum up the thread, Maggie will forward my email to you if necessary.

[Giles]

9 left - 7 days left to order….........

[hectic]

Having chatted to osb I am looking to size down one - does this dovetail with other owners? ( just being paranoid )

[nameness]

Assume you're going sockless?  And this is down from your athletic shoe size?

[Giles]

I didn't in either of the pairs i have

[hectic]

No not sockless, but their measurements seem to be the same as my redwings…aarrrgghhh

[nameness]

Have you ever been sized on a Brannock device?  Best thing that's happened to me re: shoe ordering.

[Giles]

What size are you approx Hectic?

[Seul]

I think general consensus is to size down 1/2 hectic. But even after downsizing 1 on my navy blue Oxfords, they fit excellent…

[madmonday]

sasquatch size, hahahahahaha

couldn't help it.  US 13 if memory serves me correct

[hectic]

Im typically a UK12/US13. But the redwings run large as you know. Still: aaarrrggghhhhh

[madmonday]

just thought this might be hurtful & inconsiderate to a certain sasquatch. sooooo, if egos are bruised i'll take it down. . .

sasquatch size, hahahaahahahahahahahahaha

[Seul]

monday you're relentless… in making me smile!.. 

So: size 12 in RWs hectic?.. And those run big?.. Then I'd go with 12 in OSB...

[Giles]

Sorry, if you were close to me, I'd suggest you try mine on, but i'm a 10.  G

[hectic]

Thanks all. Sasquatch ponders his shoe future….

[barun]

Hectic, I'm a 12EE so don't feel bad

My advice again would be get George to make you a US12.5 or as Seul said go with a US12 if he won't. These things stretch a lot. Just my two pennies…

[madmonday]

normally i would say don't stress it, but i can see your issue with these because they are made to order.

have faith my freakishly large footed friend & maybe get on the hunt for a retailer with a "Brannock device" as mentioned by nameness & get measured proper like.  once you have that info in toe (hehehehhehe) pass it along to the powers that be & see what is then suggested.

or if you just don't have the time in you schedule, do like the freaks above me said

[hectic]

Ta L, splitting the difference with a 12.5 feels sensible.
