See, no need to wear boots ALL the time

[wariosss]

Was wondering if someone can help with sizing issues. I should start by saying that I have fairly wide feet.
Generally I wear a 42 in european size (equivalent to 8.5/9 US).
I recently bought a pair of Viberg Boots in size 8 in the 110 last that fit well.
I am planning to buy a pair of Alden and decided to go for a model in the Barrie last.
Was thinking of taking a size 8.5D.
Anyone has any similar expirience? or advice?

D will not be wide enough, go E

[seawolf]

I have fairly wide feet and D in Barrie last is perfect for me. YMMV though. The D in Trubalance last is actually a bit too wide for me. It's a sloppy last shape for my foot type. Barrie is my preferred last. In Grant last, I wear an E and it works pretty well for me.

OK, let me elaborate.  I have wide feet.  When I used to wear Alden, I always had to go at E whatever the last.

How about the alden size for 8.5E Redwing & 8-fitting 5 trickers?

^Which last wunnaz?  They can vary a lot

Sorry I forgot to mention, I mean alden Indy boots.

Ok that's the trubalance last, its Alden's biggest and widest.  For reference I wear a 10D in trubalance and am a 10.5D/E on a brannock device
