They're all for me supersalami, 5 sizes in all styles, it's the British weather, hot cold hot cold, my feet don't know what size they are? ; )

Good question. A few reasons really. It's White's most popular width, I've sometimes found a D to be a bit on the tighter side with some US brands and I thought that a lot of people will be wanting to wear them with thick socks maybe, plus they look a bit more rugged.

To be fair though I cant really see or feel that much difference between the D & E that I've got so?…

Too much information? ; )

Cheers.

You gonna import some Oxfords, perhaps?..

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

IIRC each width is an increment of one sixteenth of an inch

Nice selection of boots Jamie, but I notice that they all share a (lowered) block heel - do you have any with the standard angled heel?

I was told by Kyle at Bakers that the difference between an A and a C is .25 of an inch.

That said, I have found White's to be on the roomy side

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

There is definitely a difference.  I have C and D width SDs and D width SJ.  I have to wear thick socks with the SD D and can wear either with the C.  I can't wear thick socks at all with the SJ D.  I think it's partly due to the higher arch of the SJ.

[supersalami]

[hectic]

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

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.

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