Hi sopiar,

Recently, I've talking with Kyler Baker and have respone that CXL White's using about 4.5 - 5.5oz

Hope this help to you

Whites Semi Dress Black toe cap

[Crit_Obs]

I know this topic has been brought up before over the course of this thread, but I don’t remember the conclusions reached so here goes:

Smoke Jumper (4811 last) in 8.5E fits me just about perfectly, with no heel-slip at all even when brand new and a nice snug fit all around, with enough room to wiggle my toes; which size should I go for in Semi-Dress (55 last)? The same as SJ or perhaps half a size smaller (still in E width)? I know, YMMV and all that, but many of you have experience with both of those lasts so interested in your insights.

Cheers.

@Crit_Obs I wear the same size (12.5D) in the semi-dress, bounty hunter (smoke jumper with semi-dress last) and smoke jumper.  For me the smoke jumper is just a bit more roomy, but it's a negligible difference.

Thanks! That’s exactly how I imagine it to be looking at the profiles of these 2 lasts… But some folks ( @Megatron1505 being one, if my memory serves) have noted that SD runs bigger, and that they need to size down going from SJ to SD. There was even someone who, after establishing his size for SJ, went ahead and ordered a custom-made pair of SD in that same size, only to learn he would be ”swimming” in them as they turned out hopelessly too big; this last feller might have shared his story on another forum.

@EastWest have a pair of SDs I could see myself grabbing for the spring/summer…

Megatron's feet are as strange as the rest of him.

I wear the same size (10D) in the semi-dress and swing last, and in Viberg and Wesco, for that matter.

[Bluegrass]

@Crit_Obs Ha! Of course everyone's feet are different - but I'd trust the sizing on your SJs if you are happy with them.

[EastWest]

Hi @Crit_Obs I would echo most of the above. Overall they fit fairly similar in length and width but for me the SJ’s have a bit more volume across the top of the foot/ toes whereas the SD’s feel slightly wider at the front of the foot but more shallow in height. Send me a mail if you want to chat more on particular boots and sizes, there can be some variation due to leather thickness etc..

Cheers.

I've ordered my first pair and I can't wait!
