[hectic]

^ fuck don't risk it. Can you imagine some jumped up TSA type official making you destroy/confiscate your boots?

@Megatron1505:

I have Whites in D, E and EE, and can't really tell much difference to be honest.

Haha, you should try to get measured up to see what your true size is man.

Why, they all fit fine.

Well, I was always under the impression that the whole point of the measuring procedure White's has you go through  is to fit you to the right size.

[Megatron1505]

It is, but my boots fit me fine, so…..

right on.  not knocking you or your choice.

[Megatron1505]

I know, and I'm not trying to be a dick. If I was getting boots custom made I'd definitely get sized correctly, the only point I was making is that mine are all different widths, with no real noticeable difference (to me) in fit.

Besides, he's got boots that have between made with different lasts, which affects the fit.  Those might all actually be his correct size for those configurations.  Which is why knowing your "correct size" still doesn't prevent buying without trying on from being a complete crap shoot.

exactly… even the choice of having w/ or w/o Celastic toe will affect the actual fit.  e.g. for me:

Alden Indy 8E = SD 8E = SD 8.5D = SD 8D Swing last = SJ 8.5E
