WESCO

The arches in my Wescos are killing my feet… so I am attempting to mod them. I took the insoles out cut some 1/2 inch thick plywood using the insole as a pattern on the wood, and added another block to evenly disperse the force of the clamp. I put another block of wood underneath the sole so the clamp wouldn't leave a circular indentation and to evenly disperse the pressure across the sole.
You can see the arch is now flat...
Nice and flat like my feet.

@Filthy, What a good idea and setup. I have a pair of White’s that took a really long time to break in since I have really high arches and under pronate when walking. Since my ankles lean outward the arch ease took quite a while to mold to my foot properly. I thought about using a mallet or something to pound down and flatten the outside arch “shelf” region. Thanks for sharing your setup.

@spacecadet Please let me know if you ever need more detailed instructions. It was cool because the shop guy let me borrow the c-clamps from work, and everything else was free.

I'm trying to determine the size for packer #9109 last. Sports shoes I wear in 8.5D - 9D. There was an opportunity to try the wesco foot patrol (8D).
The foot patrol suits me size 8D. Slight pressure on the thumb because of the narrow toe box.
Can I count on the same size (8D) in #9109 last?
Width and length of the foot patrol match the size (width, length) of #9109 last?

I was waiting for someone who has both lasts to chime in on this. I only have a pair in the standard Jobmaster last but when I was trying to figure out my sizing, I reached out to Kyle at Bakers boots. He told me Wescos sizing convention is not standardized across all of their lasts. He told me I would generally take a half size down in the MP last vs the Jobmaster last. The 9109 last is supposed to run the same as the Jobmaster last FWIW. Hopefully some others can chime in on this.

SOP superb on phoot and so comfy to walk in
not sure what took me sooo long -
^^ Nice @madmonday can I ask what size, and what size you are in your Red Wing Moc Toes?
-
more "snaps and build deet's" soon come
these are a 8.5
red wing mocs I wear anything from a 7.5 to a 8.5 comfortably (I have really high arches and an over all weird foot, not a good person to ask sizing questions, sorry :-[)

Thanks, lovely boots.

I’m hoping this is the right place for this..
Anyone comment on Wesco Jobmaster sizing compared to Red Wings? I’ve seen comments here to suggest the same in US sizing?If I measure them this way which I presume is the same as a Brannock measurement I’m a size larger than my Redwings (I think this is expected)?
https://bigblackboots.com/bsizcvt.htmI’m a 10D US in my Red Wings which is fine in length but a bit narrow.

Those look amazing! I love the British tan.

@Peterpiper If you go the MP toe and your RW D width is narrow you might want to go with E. It's not that much wider.

both of my wesco are on par with the viberg i have owned (i know obvious to some but i’m just taking the leap) however where viberg seem to be going in a more delicate danty direction the two wesco builds i have seem to be going in the direct opposite direction by making boots that pair really well with denim
