Hey pillowpants as Blackheart she might know what u need about wesco.

[Blackheart]

Wesco runs pretty true to size, length and width. I only have stock boots but have never had a sizing
problem.

After measuring my foot tracings and using the brannock device (both came to an 11E) I ordered my Wesco Jobmasters in that size. I am very happy with the fit. If I wanted a really snug fit I think a 10.5EE would have worked, but I didn't want to risk it and have to fight with boots these tough. The lace to toe allows for more control over the fit if its a little large, IMO and I have not experienced the toe rubbing that others have reported.

My feet are wide and round, most toe boxes feel too narrow for me. Wescos are the comfiest boots I've ever owned, not that my collection rivals some of the others here though.

I hope Wesco will have a booth at the Toronto Motorcycle show this year and I'll be able to get custom fitted by them there. Who knows!

[natehate]

have they had a booth before chris?

[CLJ]

Yessir, just not noticed before. Too busy drooling over bikes.

I haven't got a response on their attendance for the 2014 show. Definitely going to be going either way.

[natehate]

cool
i have never seen anything at the bike show that made me wanna go back in the past
may have to go this year if theyre gonna be there

[CLJ]

Show is February 21-23, 2014. I'll try and get a confirmation from Wesco. If they're doing custom lasts for free (with purchase of boots) I dont think I can pass that up.

CLJ, what size are u in whites boots?  11E too?

Im 9.5E in whites, not sure to take the same size in wesco jobmaster or go half a size bigger. (10E).

I remember reading demonito saying go half size bigger cos wesco boot has insoles.

[CLJ]

Unfortunately I have not tried Whites boots on to know. The insoles that come with Wesco's are thin unstructured pieces of cushioned material. Did not change the fit that much. Did not stay in the boot, either.

When I received my custom Boss boots a couple years ago, they were a little snug on the instep. This is an intentional feature of an engineer boot to keep it on your foot, but it still made it a little uncomfortable. I contacted Wesco, and they suggested wearing the boots without the supplied insole for a few weeks until the boots break-in. Now they fit amazingly well with the insoles. I even upgraded to hand-made leather insoles.

[injunjack]

I have a similar experience as Seawolf. And they really broke in once they were ridden first time in a rain. After that the insoles went back in.

[superfuzz]

I did the same thing. Ray from Wesco suggested that I wear them for a couple weeks without the insole to break them in. But the MP toe box was still too tight once I put the insole back in. So I shipped them back to Wesco to have the toe stretched. Still waiting to get them back. I'll post pics and let you all know how they fit when I get them back. The customer service from Wesco is great.

[pillowPANTS]

Blackheart do you own any vibergs? If so, are they the same size u take in your wesco's?

[Blackheart]

No PP, I don't have any Vibergs yet…But my Wescos fit like the rest of my boots in length.

[Giles]

I find them weirdly attractive…..(but then again, they are a pair of boots....)....

[mclaincausey]

Swap the roughout for some 21 or 25 oz denim

[derivative666]

I could see them on a teenage goth chick circa 1993

[injunjack]

I'm with G on this….
