Scary but true. I could probably do a 7.5 too if they make them in that size.
Not sure if sizing is the same between the different seasons/"prototypes", but rule of thumb seems to be at least a full size down.

I have spoken with craig ( owner of W+H) he says they are ONE full size big.
if you are a 10 you get a 9.


In Black these are the sizes I have up for grabs

7, 8, 8.5, 9,9, 10, and 11
if you don't see a size that means it's GONE.

PLEASE NOTE AGAIN THIS IS FOR THE BLACK SERVICE BOOT NOT THE BROWN.
Best,
Mauro

Anyone with wider feet try these on? I can fit in some Ds, but I usually size up. Is it possible to try these on in my area?

Between 9 & 9.5 true size, preferably E (EE in running shoes). My gentleman travelers size 9 are tight and I hardly ever wear them (the standard recommendation is to size down on those). Perhaps the 8.5 service boots will fit me, but it depends on how wide they run. At this price point, proper fit is essential.

I'm pretty sure it's the matte-black version (second release).
