Custom Boss on MP last. Saw these on the Bootery in the Specials. Wasnt sure what they would like like in the flesh or whether the wife would like 'em…..

Turns out they're fecking awesome. Beautiful quality leather and construction. Absolutely bullet proof. The contrast between the rough out and the leather is truly spectacular and difficult to capture in a photo!

Looking for some sizing advice for some Packers.  I've read about half of this thread, and it seems like the general consensus is to order TTS.  My left foot's a US9.5D and my right foot's a 9E, which makes sizing a bit more difficult.  Sometimes I size for my smaller foot and sometimes for my bigger foot.

In other boots, which fit well, I wear the following:

IH x Viberg Wild Ones: 8.5EE (perfect with thick socks)
Viberg 2030: 8.5 (thin socks only)
Viberg 2040: 9, just a tad long with thin socks
Tricker's 4497 (Stow model): 8.5UK, good with thin socks
Red Wing: 8.5 (thin socks only)
Wolverine 1k: 8.5 (thin or medium weight socks)

I've also had a few sports-related foot and ankle injuries, so I prefer some breathing room.  My forefoot is somewhat wide, while my heel is somewhat narrow.  I also don't mind wearing an insole.

With all that said, I can't figure out if I should go after a 9 or 9.5 in the Packer last.  More specifically, I'm looking at these two magnificent pairs.

Ironically, I'm 30 minutes from Wesco, but my schedule hasn't allowed me to pay them a visit.

Tricky one.  I think either of them could work, but it's a bit of a gamble…

@Giles  Yeah, I think it would be a gamble, too.  I'll try to set aside some time soon to visit Wesco and try on a few pairs.

today i joined a team of zoologists in search for the nesting ground of the quite rear and unexplored creature.
after 12 hours of exhausting hunt we spotted a perfectly camouflaged pair of "rough out burlap foot patrol".

worth the time and passion….

Judging by silly expression on my face, caption should read "oooh, Gilesey, I can see right up your trouser leg!"

[Finkster]

Boom!
