Is a size 12 1/2 possible with MTO?

I’d think any size on MTO. @Metrosey can ask Richard.

I sure can, I'll add that to my E-Mail. Richard did say in the original E-Mail that the MTO can be any size, however I shall check if 12.5 is an option

Interesting that Tricker's site doesn't list 12.5 available. For that matter the catalog doesn't list 12.5 as an option. I assume they make 12.5 though. All the more reason to jump on this GMTO.

 

[Metrosey]

Outside of the sizing question, does anyone have any further questions that you'd like me to ask Richard while I write the E-Mail?

This is just a questions and current update E-Mail, nothing being finalised yet

@Metrosey It's been a minute since I did an MTO. Can we get different fittings now (I need a 6 or 7) or does it all have to be the same like it used to?

Fittings? Like width or normal sizing?

 

[Metrosey]

I've sent an E-Mail to Richard now (need to sleep, so I did it now), asking about your sizing question @TH3515, I'll let you know what he says tomorrow. Also, I've sent him the work-in-progress specifications list so he is up-to-date

Good afternoon everyone,

Richard is a bit busy so he shall give a full reply later. However, as he suggested a two part neck for the boot, his wife provided an image on what two part neck would look like (different colours though, so a bit hard to compare to our single colour version), images can be provided.

Does anyone have a preference between a two part and one part boot? All Trickers boots seem to normally be one part, just for reference.

Two Part

One Part

Sorry, yes it's their term for width. My Grasmeres in 6 are decent, but I'd probably be even happier with a 7.

Incidentally, my question a few pages ago got lost: would anyone say that the 4444 is wider than the 4497s in the same size?

In terms of width, they have to be the same. Trickers suggest (you may have already read this but I'll say in case not) for the 4444 Last
"These are a generous fit and therefore typically larger by half a size. So, if you normally take a UK size 8, we recommend you try a size 7½."

With the 4497s
"These are a generous fit but are true to a regular UK size."

In terms of physical fit, not sure, as I've not got any on the 4444 Last

Yes the 4444 is wider than 4497.

Not sure they do a seven?

I asked Richard and he said normally they all need to be the same last etc but would ask the question.

Anyone have any preference on boot leg (one or two) or shall I just go with Richard's recommendation? I honestly don't have any preference @GMTO @MSAINT @zippyh @AnyILeftOut

Want to try and finish off the requirements list

 

[Crafty Cumbrian]

No preference for me as discussed.

I am not sure I understand the leg thing? Do you have an example?
