I'm curious about the weight and warmth as well. I'm going between this and the blanket lined denim CPO as a shacket, wondering how they compare in terms of warmth/bulk since I might use for layering.

Different color wabash or even hickory stripe would be nice, haven't seen too much brown or green.

@Vintage:

Recieved a email from Iron Heart the other day. Informed me that when I ordered my boots the details on the boots read 1339 last but that was incorrect and they will be using a MP95. From what I've read on other blogs the 1339 last runs narrow and the MP95 last runs wide. I'm wondering if I should switch to a 10 D instead of my original order which is a 10 E. All my Red Wings boots are a 10 D and my Lofgren Combat boots are a 9.5 D. Any one have thoughts and comments between the widths on the 1339 last and MP95 last. Thanks in advance.

That is what they say, however I've tried on the MP95 last (half sized down from my brannock, same size as my Red Wing IR) in the regular D width and found it quite narrow. I will definitely be going for an E width.

I got the opportunity to try on a Wesco 7400 with the MP toe in my regular size and found it was okay around the toe/mid section but way too spacious at the heel even with thick socks and a thicker insole (though it did get a bit tight around the front). Lots of heel slip, far more than I would feel comfortable walking with. I guess I'll be sizing down and up in width after all, but I'm looking to do a Foot Patrol which doesn't even have a heel counter so I don't know. For anyone that has tried on both a FP and an engineer, does the heel counter affect the sizing at all?

@steelworker:

the MP toe is narrow to begin with, if you sized down you might be pinched length and width. I'm normally a D but if I order another MP toe I'm going to E.

There's an MP 1339 last which runs narrow  and an MP95 last that actually runs wide, but 99% of motor patrol boots I see are 1339.

For now I'm planning on going true to brannock size on my foot patrol. I figure if it's a bit big I can use a thicker insole and get long laces to tie around the ankle.

That’s the one. I was referring to where I saw it in this forum before. I measured my foot today and had some questions. I’m an 11EEE according to that size chart.. I’m Wondering if anyone else with Wesco boots finds the cart accuratez

The Boot I got today is 9.5D and that is pretty much exactly what the Chart says.

I used that size chart before I bought my Jobmasters and find it accurate.

I may have mentioned this before but Kyle at Bakers boots told me that not all of Wesco’s lasts are standardized. For the standard Jobmaster last (9165) or bump toe last (9109), the chart works great. Kyle also mentioned if you are thinking of going with the MP last he said to size down 0.5 size FWIW.

This is something that is giving me trouble. I have heard to size down .5 for the MP but in practice I rarely see it done without removing the sock liner or in cases of people with odd sizing. I've also seen side by side pictures of an MP wesco and a 2030 Viberg that was a half size smaller and they looked the same,  maybe even a bit shorter than the Viberg.
