      @Crit_Obs : I'm thinking about getting a pair of Packers in horsehide, so that will rule out most standard builds I suppose. Don't have any footwear on horsehide yet and I really want to try it out.

      Thanks for spotting the nicholas custom leather option for me…it really is a great price. And yes, I'm not in the US so I prefer to get a custom build where the chances of ill-fit are less, and avoid troublesome returns. I sent my measurements in to Baker's a few years ago and they nailed the fit for me (10C). As I commented earlier, those White's boots ordered through Bakers are my best fitting and most comfortable boot I've ever owned/tried. I assume the extreme comfort has mostly to do with the Arch-support system, but it must also owe some to the correct sizing. They are my first (and only so far) footwear in 10C size. I guess I've spent 40 plus years wearing boots which were too wide for me. You learn...just hope it hadn't taken soooo long.

      The journey is the objective.

                  Somehow they got seriously gouged, prompting an unwelcome/premature polishing and likely some leather repair. John Lofgren engineers.

                      @Nomad - how did you clean up the (white?) stitching on your boots?

                      I have a pair of Nicks boots where the white stitching has turned black through polishing and I loved the contrast when the stitching was white . . .

                                      Don’t even wanna know what those set you back. Shark is so cool (even though I could never pull it off).

                                        I love shark.  Too bad it's getting harder and harder to get decent quality hides.
