The longer I’m in this boot world, the more I realize that some lasts are simply more suited to certain feet than others, regardless of whether they’re made to measure or not.
At this point, I would only buy one of his RTW boots or an unworn or very lightly worn secondhand pair. From the people I’ve talked to, I’m not convinced his measuring process and approach to fit really match my feet.

Two people could have a pair of boots that fit exactly the same and they’ll be comfortable for one and not the other. Apparently the first pair of bespoke shoes with a maker won’t be perfect, it’s the second when it gets dialed in.
@Daniel-San beautiful boots, shame they don’t work for you.

I bought mine from him a little big. They weren't MTO... they were a pair that another customer never picked up. I tried a few insoles, then once I found the right thickness... it was perfect. What I really love to call Brian for is re-soles. He has custom soles and can just take an old boot and give it a really fresh and exciting new life.

Unbelievable but after more than 2 month my boots arrived , but they don’t fit
unfortunately they are too tight at the instep area.If they fit everywhere besides the tightness in the instep. You could easily get that stretched. I picked up a second hand pair off ebay. They were sold as 11.5 and the box was marked 11.5 but they fit more like an 10.5 both in length and width. I did have Brian resole them and when I got them back I stretched them a bit width wise and they are much more comfortable now.

@smittybat
did a cobbler strech them ? -
Most cobblers should be able to do this. I do own an instep stretcher and a width stretcher so I do them at home now.
