A photo of my pair this afternoon in the hotel room, with a bit of strong natural light.

Nice … very nice!

Can you give any advise on sizing on the motor patrol last?
Do these fit true to size?
I wear a US 8 in large running lasts (e.g. Alden Barry last and Red Wing boots) and a US 9 in small running lasts (e.g. Viberg 2030 or Red Wing Chukka).

[Giles]

I would go 8 or 8.5 to be super-safe…..

Thanks G

Pretty awesome boots. Comfortable from day 1 and they keep getting better!

[Finkster]

Blue laces … or reflections? 

Nice evo on your boots .. and that's so true! ->

^^Very nice. The waxed laces look great 

[Finkster]

'waxed laces - certainly  … Damn - I must convert my monitor .. or visit an optician  :o

The waxed laces look great. A lot better than the nylon monstrosities..:P

[Finkster]

^They are definitely an attractive option

Thx for sharing @Segovia

[Segovia]

They're just black waxed laces from Viberg. Wasn't a huge fan of the yellow nylon laces.

FP2's  4.0  with brown waxed Wolverine laces  … very comfortable and smart
Thx for the inspiration @Segovia

This is my first pair of boots and I really love them.  The problem is, I think they might be a half size too big but, I am not sure as I am new to boots.  I was wondering opinons?  When laced up its not bad, no real heal slip and I am wearing thin socks.  Below is a pic of of where my big toe ends…appreciate any feedback.

with my heel all they way to the back of the boot:

Standing with where my foot natural falls within the boot:

I am by no means an expert on sizing footwear, but that seems like way too much room to me.

[Ndubya94]

@seanocono I appreciate the input.  That was with my heel as far back as it goes (if that makes any difference).  Check the second picture that is with me standing and the boot laced.  It feels pretty decent but, just not sure if a boot should fit more snug than what i have or not.

[seanocono]

The second pic looks much better, but I think preference has a lot to do with it.

I've always worn my boots snug, out of necessity, so your room looks excessive.

It's entirely possible that I am wearing my boots "wrong," so please take my opinion with a handful of salt.

I'm sure others can provide more constructive opinions. I probably shouldn't have commented.

Better a tad too big - than too small

My (both pair) of Wescos are also a half size bigger than my 'usual size … still - the fit and the feeling is very comfy.  (I walked hundreds of miles with them since months - absolutely no problems)

But - that's my own opinion / experience!

My big toe ends at the red line - for comparison
