After doing some more research, ive discovered that Wesco boots do a true custom fitting, which is one tiny step below actual bespoke boots that use a new unique last. Instead at Wesco they take detailed foot measurements and then add leather onto the stock lasts they have to get as close as humanly possible to a true custom fit without actually having to go cast and mold a completely new last just for you feet. This method by far seems the most sensible to assure the correct fit, and when spending up wards of $600+ on a pair of boots, it really is a small ask of a one time payment of an additional $100 to get a custom last of your feet. Hell if i get a whites and they dont fit right, its at the very least 100 dollars on shipping and taxes( im currently situated in the British isles now) then having to sell the boots at a loss, spending the extra money to get the fit correct now is worth it in the long run and will end up saving me money.
I got my info from here btw
The Stitchdown Conversation: Chris Warren of Wesco Boots - Stitchdown
Wesco boots are built for life—and Chris Warren's own life has been plenty full of them. Warren took his first job with the 101-year-old bootmaker because his father swore by his Wesco boots while working as a millwright. 17 years later, he's a decade into serving as the company's sales...www.stitchdown.com
Damn though... 10-12 months lead time...oh well, gives me something to look forward to at least !
