They are fantastic. Built like tanks and extremely comfortable. The color is awesome, and I'm loving the shape.

I made a trip down to visit @Giles and @Madame Buttonfly in Gosvegas today, and tried on the WandAs in a size 13. I'm a UK13 / US14 / US48, and they were bang on size for me.
I was wearing my pair of Red Wing Beckmans (size 13), and the fit was similar. So if you need another point of comparison..
The shoes are beautifully made, feel very solid, and comfortable out of the box.
So I adopted the big ones, and their smaller sisters are en route to @trail and arrow in Germany.

I'll get some pictures up in the next day or two.
The leather is starting to crease up, and I think they'll look great after a bit of wear. Vegetable tanned shoes develop fantastic character.
I wore my pair all day, fresh out of the box. I walked about 4 miles / 6.5 km, and didn't have any problems. The sole was comfortable underfoot. I thought it might have been much harder. Traction seems reasonable, but they need to be tested in the rain. It's too early to know how they'll wear.
In the big sizes the shoes look a bit less extreme than the original ones posted. But they're still a bit crazy.

I'll bring Big Wanda down to Fish and Chips for you to try on.
Oh, feck. First @trail and arrow steals my hat, then it'll be my shoes…

Big Wanda versus Junior of Rivet and Hide!
I was chatting to a couple of Taiwanese guys at the launch of Men's File x Clutch at Lewis Leathers this evening. They recognised the shoes, and know @Kurt-faith too.
