      I have a shit load of boots.  Paula made me articulate exactly what I have, whilst driving to the airport the other day (luckily, she did not ask about stuff that was on order or inbound).  I have very few "doubles", that is more than one boot by the same maker, I do that because I love seeing how different bootmakers/artisans approach the relatively simple task of shodding a person, in different ways.  I like understanding the differences in build, differences in feel, differences in cut and differences in fit (and a load of other variables too).

      In my experience, a Viberg 9 fits perfectly.  so too does a RW or a Whites 10

              Wait, so we have to order a pair off Bakers site to enter?  It can't just be any pair of boots we get made, it has to go through your affiliate code, is that right?

                          Okay I'm in.  It was just the Bakers thing which threw me.  Didn't/don't get it.  Whatever, prepare your asses.

                                    Hoping to add to the judging panel from this forum too, with a man who knows his stuff when it comes to boots and boot care, just sent him a PM.
