They are starting to feel better! Took some wearing through gritted teeth / different sock / insole combos, but they've started to give in to my feet a bit. So much so that I managed to wear the last two days in a row haha.
Here's some pics of how they're looking after a few weeks on and off wear.
Hey guys,
Just joined after reading helpful advice on here for a while, so thank you all already.
Couple of questions I'd love your experience and expertise on. (Not sure if this is the correct thread so I'm asking in others also)...
About to order some Engineers (looking at Wesco Boss, love the big rounded bump toe on the standard boss toe last) but agonizing over a couple options.
Firstly sizing - I currently wear White's Smokejumpers in a 13EE and they fit perfectly. I've seen some of you guys suggest Wesco is half-to one size up? According to my tracings and measurements, talking to Chris at Wesco I'm between a 13.5EEE and a 14EE ? But I've read others say they are all true to size and the same size fits fine... Any advice?
Secondly, midsoles... I'm definitely going for a #430 sole and probably brown dyed edge, but don't know whether to go double or standard single midsoles. I know I've got a decent sized hoof and I'm 6'1" so the doubles wouldn't look too out of proportion and I love the chunky look. But I don't wanna look like I'm on stage with KISS in platforms and have a heap of heel slippage from super stiff soles...
Thirdly buckles - I love the traditional vintage shiny look of the nickel, but I've read that most recommend the roller style for function?
Finally, has anyone bought or tried on the new White's Cykel boot? I know my size in White's at least, but they might be too narrow/pointy (kinda Equestrian looking), and are only thin soles...
I need to get it right unfortunately via distance, (I'm in Australia).
Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for any help
