LL Bean Katahdin Boots sizing?

[mbc]

Anyone have the L.L. Bean Katahdin Iron Works Engineer Boots? http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/sto...503393-tn&np=Y

Curious about the sizing - do they fit true to width/length? Thanks!

These are made by chippewa and they run big. I wear an 11 e in allen edmonds and I wear a 10.5 ee in these. Great boots

Hey Jack2000, can you post up some pics of your katahdins?

What, am I talking to myself in here? Hello? Is this thing turned on? Anyway thought this was interesting, a mention about katahdin boots on the runway. http://men.style.com/news/blog/2008/...rry-ellis.html

BTW superbobo, they now come in EE widths.

I take a 10.5D in Alden shell cordo Barrie lasted shoes and an 11C in AE Byron. I tried the 11D Kathadin boot while wearing regular cotton socks (not hiking socks or dress socks), and it felt fine.

Nice looking boot, IMO.

As Bean says, it is on the old U.S. Army Munson last. I had a pair of U.S. Army marching shoes on the Munson last when I started prep school at age 14. They were the size I normally wear today, 13D. They seemed somewhat large for me at the time, even with heavy athletic socks, but then my normal dress shoe size then was a 12 1/2C. I suspect they would be a pretty good fit on me today if I still had them.
