Dear Giles, dear Nick,

thank you both for the feedback, much appreciated, even more so as sizing advice can be so boring for those kind enough to provide it! As far as I can see (from the small icon with the nice collection exhibited on the grass), Nick's RWs are lace-ups, my usual size in these (Beckmann/GTs & Iron Rangers) is US 8,5 or US 9, the 522 last of the 2990s seems to be smaller, thus a 9,5D for me. So I guess Wescos in US 9D or 9,5D would fit me … As for the WOs, it must be either US9D or US9,5D.  I see that some people here complain about the tight fit of the WOs, no idea if that's about the actual sizing or the low toe profile (or both) ...

Many thanks for the warm welcoming !

Dear Giles, dear fellow forum members,
I consider buying a pair of these fabulous boots. My only previous experience is of the No. 83 model ( I mean the very model depicted here) …

... which did fit perfectly in US9/EUR42, although it looked (but did not feel) somewhat wide ...

Are the Wild Ones built on the same last? Their box, as depicted here, states "83", but I read that this is the 2005 last. How do they fit in comparison? Should I consider the same size adequate?

Dear Giles,

the sheer beauty of these boots is captivating! I have never thought of buying Wescos before, having forever associated the legendary brand with the fearsome die-hard 17" beasts with lug soles, which are definitely not my cup of tea. But this beauty is another thing altogether! Any idea about how it fits? I have narrow feet and a low instep, which can be a problem with engineer boots. In comparison, I wear US9/UK8/EUR42 Frye 12r engineers (a tight fit) and Viberg 83 engineers, and US9,5/UK8,5/EUR42,5 Red Wing 2990 engineers (with a thin insole) and Chippewa 97863s. Any suggestions from other forum members?

Hi everybody,
so nice to be part of this fascinating forum! I am from Thessaloniki, Greece, and I also reside there, after having lived for many years in Munich, Germany.

I will have to admit that I am a newcomer to the world of raw denim, and what actually attracted me to the forum are the threads on exquisite boots, especially engineer ones.

Looking forward to many interesting discussions here!

Best regards to everybody,
Nicholas
