Personally I would welcome that at the outset, like buying a pair of jeans a little snug…..

[Seul]

Definitely… My Vibergs were snug width-wise at first, but fit like sneakers after a month or so...

[jdl1279]

Yep, mine were a touch snug, not enough to hurt mind you, but with a couple days of wear have loosened up perfectly. The upper and double mids are still quite stiff yet, but the fit is spot on

Thank you gentlemen. They do not hurt, just pinch, so I think I'm good.

Worn in anger for the first time today together with my new 555N. So a bit snug from the balls of my feet right up to my, uhm, balls.

They're going to be great.

Great look though! I like engineers paired with a slightly smaller hem as well. Hate it when people buy amazing boots and then they're being swallowed by a gigantic hem and too long an inseam.

Yup. Although I'm generally guilty of having too long an inseam. Both my 666's are off to the seamstress tomorrow to get them Wesco-ready.

Also, thanks for the kind words [emoji4]

wesco owners…. i need advice.  If i'm a 9.5 D in white's can i wear a 9E in Wesco?

[Giles]

Lace ups?  Yes.

Pull ons, may have too much slip.

[riffblaster general]

Perfect.  Thanks Giles!

@riffblaster general Size for size, White's should be larger than Wesco, so a 9E Wesco is likely too short.  I wear 9.5D in Wesco, 8.5 in White's Swing Last, 9 in Vibergs.

[Chris]

And to further muddy the waters, I'm a size 10D in all three brands (White's Swing and SD last, Wesco Jobmaster, Viberg 2030).

I'd agree that length might be a problem if you go down a half size, but there's no way to be sure without trying.

[Megatron1505]

10.5 in Wesco, 10 in White's and Viberg…....sorry

@riffblaster general
It would depend on our shoe last as well. What style boot were you looking at? Sorry if I had missed it:/

Hey @Chris at Wesco I actually emailed you about the boots. You sent me pictures of them haha.

[riffblaster general]

The boot in particular is the factory second 7" jobmaster regular toe lacing pattern with an mp toe profile size 9E.  I'm a 9.5D in the White's Oxford.

[Megatron1505]

You will be fine then Nate, the Whites oxfords fit almost a size larger than SD's.

[riffblaster general]

I'm so confused.  I'm a 9.5d in red wing too if that helps.

I think you'll be fine. Going slightly wider with the MP toe is a good call.

[superfuzz]

MP toe can be a little narrow.
