White's Boots

[tigerpac]

-1/2 from your brannock size should do the trick

[Seth]

Thanks - I'm off to find a Brannock Device.

[Bretro_]

In contrast, my experience with the standard last SJs is they fit tts; #55 last, I've learned I need to size down 1/2

[tigerpac]

Yeah that's the tough part, different feet are different shapes

Blue lace project laces came today!
I know… I know… They’re very blue.

[Bluegrass]

I size down .5 too

[Mild7]

1/2 down from Brannock in length for me too.

EDIT:  4c, I'm feeling the blue.

@Seth:

I have no experience with White's boots. I heard they run a little large.  I'm thinking of taking a gamble on a pair on thAy.

What size am I in White's  in Chippewa, Danner, etc.?

Here's the pair I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whites-boots-/281250005473?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item417bce81e1

that's my pair. have them listed here as well in the buying and selling thread.  funny thing is I get traffic from some honest forum members on ebay and then I get the weird stalker dudes that bid and just sort of watch everything I do.

in any event think they might be too small for you seth, but as previously stated everyone s feet are different

[Bluegrass]

they're awesome boots, really nice build…

BH

[irishexpat]

soft toe on those JCM?

also….anyone know the big difference between Cougar and BH? I'm just curious

[JCMx800]

I think I ordered a celastic toe…
Cougar uses the Northwest last, Bounty Hunters are Smokejumpers with the Semi Dress last. My oxfords have the NW last, I can do some pics...
The NW last is my favorite last, some days ago I ordered a Black Rough-Out Cougar

[irishexpat]

ive seen lots of pics, and I know I prefer the SD last to the SJ last….but I havent seen much about the NW last. I only ran across the cougar because the spec that I'm interested in (brown/red dog roughout with a christy sole) looks a lot like the default cougar on bakers website.

unrelated question: I'm assuming that a boot built with a christy/2021 sole can be resoled to any other type of vibram (100, 430, etc). Correct?

[JCMx800]

SD last is not so bulky, SJ last is bulky and you have enough room for your toes (if you have some), the NW last is something between, its a little bit "rounder" than the SD last.

A good cobbler should do the job, but dont forget, the cougar has a different construction on the welt, dont know if it´s a problem, but it will look different.

[Bluegrass]

Baker's only offers the cougar with the wedge sole, but i've seen a picture of a cougar with a vibram 430 on the ultrasound Facebook page… so that tells me it can be done.

[JCMx800]

I dont find em (too many boots on their page haha), but yeah, I think it can be done I like the 2021 and the 4041 (cristy), especially the 2021, dont ask me why, I just like em.

[Bluegrass]

Haha, I'd have hard time finding them too - you can go blind looking at boots on their page! But i def. remember seeing them and thinking it was unusual…

Thanks! I agree, after checking my feet on a Brannock Device, I think these will be a bit too small for me. Good luck.
