Consider measuring a couple times as practice over a few days at different times too. My body seems to swell most in the mornings

@deanclean @goosehd is absolutely correct! You really do need another person to do the drawing, it allows you to stand 'naturally' and so your foot is exactly as it should be. This really is the nearest to a pro tip as I can give.
Really if I was doing it for someone at HQ I'd be following the Wesco video to the letter, they make them and so they do know best! The rare occasions we've had where custom sizing came out somewhat awry boiled down to person measuring trying to do it solo in 5 mins on their lunch break and didn't take the time to read the instructions and/or watch the video....
You get out what you put in - take your time, fully read the instructions, watch Wesco's video, ask someone for help tracing and measuring and if you need a nudge in the right direction we/Wesco are at the end of the phone/email (or you can even DM me on here)

Thanks @Ross I’ll keep all this in mind. The IH crew and the forum members are the best. Great source of information.

I talked to a really nice guy at Wesco yesterday. So helpful. He took my address and is sending me out a custom measurement packet today. Amazing service. You rarely see companies taking the time to talk and help anymore.

Hello again, I’m looking for a little more help on my boot build. I have my form complete and I’m trying to recreate a build I found on line with a couple changes. I’m trying to figure out what sole combination this boot has. It looks like a double midsole? Also not sure if the heels were left natural or brown or maybe left natural and dyed a different colour? I really like the colour combo of the leather. Thanks for any help!

Thanks @Dmart i appreciate the help!

Just placed my custom order! Thanks to everyone for the help. I turn 50 years old in March of 2026. It’s almost a 2 year wait time for boots so these will make a great gift to myself.

@deanclean awesome! I did a similar thing for some mister lous to arrive for my 40th! Gives a method to the madness of the wait time! Ha

@long_john86 so true. I’m sure I’ll end up forgetting all about them and be surprised one day.
