I’m debating on either black or brown chrome excel or dress in this style.  I need a pair of brown boots btw.

[Paul9221]

Those are both lovely boots. Can't go wrong with either, but if you need a pair of brown boots, go with those.

Im thinking about getting a pair of custom bounty hunters made, does anyone know how the bounty hunter sizing compares to the Wesco 7400 Boss? I wear a 10.5D in the Boss but Kyle at Baker's recommended at 10 for the BH. .

[Bums_Fan]

Not exactly to your question, but I wear 9E in Motor Patrol last in Wesco and 8.5D in White's Semi-Dress last (i.e. #55/same last used in Bounty Hunter).

[VestCoast]

Thanks! Decided to go custom and sent in foot tracings last week so hopefully fit won't be an issue.

Has anyone else noticed a decline in quality from White’s over the last year or so? I got my five year old smoke jumpers recrafted in December and they’re not the boots they used to be. Not only did they rebuild them with the wrong leather, but the pull tabs are ripping off and the right boot just never really did fit right. Figured it would break in but I don’t think it’s gonna happen. I wonder if the Lacrosse buyout was the beginning of the end.

Decided to wear my MP in rough out waxed CXL today. I think they need a re-wax soon.
Such comfy boots.

Needing to get a boot with steel toe for work and am looking at whites or nicks, those who have had both what’s your recommendation. I have a narrow foot of that makes a difference

[Giles]

(Wesco, build your own to virtually any size/width combo)…

I have a pair of Wescos with steel toes. They are basically indestructible.

[tatmantall]

I’ve had sizing issues before and like that Nicks has samples they will se d you for fitting to make sure you’re getting a proper fit. Do you happen to know how wescos fit with respect to brannock measurements? I’ve done the trace and measure the foot with viberg before it was a mess so fearful of going that route again

[Giles]

I was not suggesting a custom last, I was suggesting a specific size build.

Sorry, no clue on the Brannock; I haven't used one in forever. I'm consistently a size 10D in boots and I don't have any foot problems, so I'm generally pretty comfortable ordering online without extra guidance.

[Chesson]

@tatmantall Depending on the boot/sole style you are after there can be some variance. I'm happy to have the conversation with you and try and narrow it down to a stock last size that may work for you. We can have a custom fit form sent out to you so that we can get an idea of your foot shape and see if we can line that up with a stock size. For that perfect fit though, going for a custom last really is the best route to go. Feel free to send me a DM or email me at alex.chesson@ironheart.co.uk

I appreciate you bumping this thread because I noticed something available from Baker's that was not available before. For a $40 charge White's will send you a try on boot too. @tatmantall

As soon as I can find a 11 x 17 printer I am going to place an order.
