How sharp is that last? Would you mind taking a top down photo, please?

Sorry - missed this way back. Here's a top down view from Skoak. The last is actually fairly generous across the forefoot - it's not a narrow last, per se. The toe box does narrow dramatically - but is sufficiently elongated that I don't find as toe-squishing as, say Vass K last or Bonafe 946 in an equivalent size, even though it looks more pointy than either of those.

And not top-down, but at least this gives you some idea of proportions in a UK 9.

Anyone here own anything from White's Boots? Can you speak to the sizing? I'm looking at a couple of pairs second hand. Do I size down one, like with Viberg, Red Wing, etc.?

I just got a pair from whites not too long ago in 13D.MP service boots..I haven't owned any RW's or Bergs but my other boots that you may be familiar with are Thorogood 6" Moc toe's, AE Daltons, both 13D and carmina balmorals 12(EU) on robert last. Daltons are definitely more snug on me, but my sock game is ****. I can comfortably wear athletic crew socks or dress socks with any of them. mostly comes down to lacing and activities.

FWIW if you think these boots will be around for another week or two I'd send foot tracings into BakerShoe.com w. the model/build specs. They'll give you a call in a weeks time with a size suggestion, and inevitably try to sell you a pair but thats up to you. From the reviews I've read on the streetwear side and more so reddit/GYW, the dude that does the fitting rarely ***** up.

Baker ended up being $50 cheaper than Whites site and offered more customization (very odd) and the fit is very good.

What style(s) are you looking at?
