I'm (again) interested in the RDT Casper. I've read that one should choose anywhere from 1 to 1.5 to 2 sizes down from Brannock device size. I'd love to hear from people who might have tried them on. I'm a 10.5, C width on Brannock for what it's worth, and I generally wear size 8.5 on UK-sized shoes (E. Green, Paraboots) ... Thank you.

I have a pair on the way in the coming weeks. I'll follow up with sizing notes when I have them.

My ‘Italian’ White’s - far and away my favourite boots given the patina and the comfort now the mileage is high

 

Remind me what makes them “Italian”? And what leather? (They look great.)

My Coupen boots feel about a whole size larger than my Brannock size. They are not particularly wide I would say, but long and lots of volume.

no idea abt brannock but i wear 8.5uk in english shoes (cheaney) and 8.5us/26.5jp in coupen and like tod the coupen feels quite a bit larger especially for me in volume i put extra insoles in them. (this is only relevant if casper and coupen sizings are indeed similar)

Is anyone here getting involved with the Stitchdown Patina Thunderdome?

I signed up at the last minute.

Just got a pair of White's oxfords. No customization other than they did double stitching instead of the stock single. They did advise me on sizing based on a tracing of my feet.

I was surprised to find I'm an 11.5 C. I knew about the C width but expected to be an 11. Apparently some things never stop growing...

Also participating in the dome! Wearing a pair of Red Wing 877s from 1994 I stumbled upon from a local RW collector for a great price. Figured if I was going to break them in around this time anyways might as well take a shot at winning a cool prize too

FWIW I also recently got sized for a pair White's by Kyle at Bakers and was totally surprised at what he advised me. I wear a 9AAA-9.5B depending on the maker, and he sized me at a 9.5C. Also a bit larger bigger than I expected, but I assume that is just how their lasts run. Haven't gotten the boots yet but hopefully if their advice worked out for you I should be alright too lol
