Anyone able to offer sizing advice on the HNW last? I take an 8E in both Alden Trubalance and Viberg 2040… I also have a White’s Semi-Dress in 9F that’s too long and too wide.

Might be good to talk to one of our fitters but it would be helpful if you have a sense of how wide or long, like is it 1/4” etc. With that said I would be fairly confident in an 8.5E

Thanks for the response, appreciate it.

It’s about 3/8” over the usual thumbnail width in the toe, and wide enough to wear a winter weight smartwool sock comfortably. I’d had an 8.5E in my mind, but needed a little reassurance. It’s a long wait.

Anyone have photos of boots made up in the black W&C bridle leather?

I talked to the team and they actually think an 8E would be the way to go.

Can I shoot you a PM and get my try on pair changed to an 8E? ?

Of course

We do not, unfortunately. It's probably the least popular of the W&C's for us (maybe because we don't have pics, hmm)

Which color would you say you guys sell the most of? In general, not just W&C

Overall, it's about even between black and walnut work leathers. In heritage, it is definitely brown CXL though brown waxed flesh is making a strong push. In Wickett it's the medium brown.

Well maybe I can solve that problem... ;-)

I had and sold a pair of Nick's stock Roberts a few years back in size 11D. They ended up being a touch narrow for me. I'm 10.5E in White's 55. Tried on White's 4811 in 11D and they were a little narrow. Have since bought a pair of 4811 in 11E and that works fine for me.

I'm a 11.5D Brannock.

What's my best bet for Nick's HNW? Should I go with 11E?

Also, for the Traveler style, do you offer a black 2021 on request or only the sand color?

Edit: Looks like you do offer black, brown, and sand 2021. So I could ask for any one of those colors on W&C Traveler?

Very impressive, might be more than I have

Thanks! Grant said the same thing, lol.

I would definitely go 11E

Between the walnut, black and 1964 I have, I think I like the 1964 leather the best. It's not as abrasion resistant as the walnut RO I have, but the parts that get beat up look prettier

Yes, this new leather has been a big hit and is gaining momentum quickly. Stay tuned...

In case anyone was wondering, 1964 leather takes a nice shine. This is just a brush shine with neutral kiwi
