…and ordered the 11. I reeeaaally hope these work for me. I love the looks, but have no experience with that kind of boot. Even though technically I am an engineer.

Uh, I kinda forgot about this - or rather, I had some minor car/wall meeting which distracted me a bit from this and made me put all expenses on hold while I am waiting for the estimate from the workshop.

Giles, thank you for the heel picture. I was measuring it wrong, then, and indeed, now that measurement does not seem so scary any more.

Thanks, both of you! Seems like size 11 is indeed the way to go then.

Now a stupid question came up when I was looking at the specs - how is the heel height (1 3/4") measured? That sounds like a lot, especially when I measure the heels of my own boots to compare. But on the other hand it does not look all that tall on the pictures, so I may very well be measuring mine at the wrong spot (I measured at the front of the heel, up until where the heel meets the sole). How is it done?

I'm thinking about these…

Having read the sizing table, it would still be good if someone could help comparing them with boots I know. In Red Wing Iron Rangers I wear 10.5 (that is, Red Wing's US sizing, which I understand is abnormally generous compared to normal US sizes). My Tricker's Stow are 10.5 as well, but UK sizing. Any idea which size would be best for me here?
