MTO, Olive Waxed Flesh 7.5F and FF at the ball
Fits great, on the MP last. Sized by Bakers via mail in tracings. Right foot was a bit tight. Currently wear with darn tough crew light. Can't go any thicker, could actually go thinner. Would like to try unstructured toe next time as the width makes the shoe look more bulbous. Overall tank like construction. Quite impressed. Mini lug half soles.

This last runs very long, and narrow. However, the heel is massive. Not a good fit. CS recommended a smaller size - I would try 9.5EE if I went for it again. But ended up getting rid of both pairs.

Perfect fit. Both length and width seem totally fine, no hotspots, no troubles in break in.

My right foot is 12 E. I can barely put my foot into the boot and its a half size too long. I assume 11 EE would be perfect. The 11.5 D MP boot is way to narrow and long fits like a 12.5 C but it has amazing arch support and feeling.

Best fit I've ever had but definitely need to be worn with thick socks.

I tried, 9.5D-my foot wouldn’t even go in. I tried 10D, was way too long and still tight on the toes. I was sized by Baker’s as 9.5EE and that’s the proper size for the MP. They fit nice and secure around my forefoot, not tight. But a bit loose around the heel and ankle. I believe this is common with Barrie based lasts that are wide. They fit in width and length, but the boot overall is not a perfect fit. I prefer the Whites 55 semi dress/bounty hunter last. The thing I like least is how bulbous the structured captoe looks in EE width. Not as nice as the pictures of D width boots. It is overall a very well made and robust boot, and easy on the feet.

The MP last may or may not be suitable for wider foot types. The ball of the foot may be ok, but it may cause issues with the toes. Comfort - very comfortable boot. Could use more arch support

Socks: Midweight merino wool Misc. Notes: Higher volume right foot; both feet on the cusp of D and E width Broken in as of early August 2022 --- Update 11/16/22: After breaking in the Perry Mocs in EE width, I kept getting distracted by the narrowness and tightness of these boots. It was tolerable but the fact that I kept noticing it while walking indicated something was amiss. These have been passed along to another owner who will hopefully enjoy them. --- These boots were pretty tight on the instep at first wear, about as tight as my Helm Zinds which are a half-size too small for me. (So, not uncomfortable but quite restrictive.) However the ball alignment was correct, it wasn't too tight on the sides, the flex point and heel slip were about right, the fit around the heel was pretty comfortable, etc. I was divided about whether to exchange these for my true size, but after I did some googling I found that most everyone agrees that White's are pretty tight on the instep at first wear and then loosen up well over time. Indeed, I put shoe trees in them for a week or two and that eased the tightness enough to settle my concerns. However on the first day of a week's continuous wear around the house there was enough pressure on the base knuckle of both big toes that they got a little sore. This continued throughout the week, even as the rest of the boot loosened up and got more flexible and comfortable. I suspect that's because that's the spot where the all the stitches in the quarter converge over two layers of thick leather. It'll probably require more breaking in before it gets fully comfortable. One thing to note is that these boots are long in the toes, longer than almost all my other boots in comparable sizes by 1/4-1/3 inch. Small difference on paper but noticeable on foot. It doesn't matter to me -- I'm not a stickler for looking proportional. More potential negatives if you're picky: the stitch length on the welt isn't terribly consistent and the stitches aren't always straight. None of this is a structural issue, and to me this is simply a testament to the fact that it's hand-stitched. But I know some people would be annoyed given the price. They are also somewhat heavy on-foot. I get used to it pretty quickly but when I put on other boots afterwards I definitely notice the difference. All that being said, I'm really happy with the MP-Sherman. It's a great combination of tough and sleek, with nice, thick leather, lug soles, and a low profile. It's gotten me to fall in love with PNW boots. However, I'm not sure I recommend these at full price. Unless you're 100% committed to the sleek look you can get something similar for cheaper from other PNW makers, or more customization from said makers for the same price. I got my pair on closeout personally and I think that was a great deal.
