Was recommended it would fit like the 55 last. It does not. Too tight

These were my 1st PNW boots...just a tad too big but can fill them up with thick socks. Actually a 12.5d...but there is no option for this size.

Worn with Darn Tough Nomad boot midweight hiking Socks makes the fit is just right. Hybrid wedge is very comfortable and grippy in wet conditions.

Socks: Midweight merino wool Misc. Notes: Higher volume right foot; both feet on the cusp of D and E width Not broken in yet My last pair of White's were 7D and they were so narrow and tight on my instep that I decided I would try a EE should I order another pair. That's exactly what I did with these, despite them being made on a different last. So that's one point for -0.5 length +1(ish) width as a general rule of thumb for White's. It was 100% the move to make. These were so comfortable right off the bat: the volume feels like it's hugging the tops of my feet rather than constricting them and I don't have to worry about lacing too tightly on my right foot (which is rare even with boots that fit well), there's enough room in the forefoot for my toes to spread, particularly my pinky toes, and my heels feel cupped by the heel counters. Of course with the taller toe box my toes have plenty of vertical space to wiggle. "Supportive" is the operative term here, as everything from the sides of my feet to my arches to my heels to my ankles feel so securely supported that my stride feels light and bouncy. A large part of that is no doubt the leather. While not strictly stiff it isn't soft either, with a smooth but what I can only describe as a plain texture. It's not dry as in it feels parched but it isn't the least bit oily or waxy either. Of course, this is one of White's work leathers so I wasn't expecting it to feel anything like Chromexcel. Indeed, it's gotten me to begin to understand what is so appealing about a White's work boot (as opposed to one designed purely for heritage fashion). There is a little bit of pull-up, which indicates they will age beautifully. One thing worth noting is that this leather, while new, is very creaky. Every step I take in these boots is accompanied by a chorus that sounds a lot like two kids swinging on dual rope swings. It's not something that bothers me in a vacuum, but I'm quite aware that this could absolutely set off someone's misophonia. I imagine that'll be less and less of an issue the more these are broken in, though. I will say that these boots are incredibly comfortable. Not only does everything feel supported but White's also provided a pair of removable Ortholite cushioned insoles. That plus the usual comfort that comes with the Vibram wedge sole and I could probably walk in these boots forever. I did take out the insoles to put my feet on them, ensuring that the arches lined up well and there was enough width -- it's almost a perfect fit. Two points. As far as nitpicks go, the shelf of the boot (think the top-down view of the welt, midsole, and sole) is really wide all the way around. Of course these aren't sleek to begin with but these look especially chunky from the top down. I quite like a chunky boot and I'm certain much of this has to do with the split/storm welt so I have no complaints, but it's not particularly pretty. I've wanted an 8-inch boot and a reddish moc toe for a while now and wow, I was not disappointed! It's going for a low price too, only just one pricing tier above Thursday. Honestly, I would say this is a steal and a great staple moc toe to have.

was measured previously by whites as a 10D, but after trying them on at home they were too narrow. Removing the insole did help but I returned them instead of trying 1 size wider.

Love these. With the added insole, it fits perfectly. Without the insole liner, it feels a tiny bit loose.

Whites Perry Select, 8”, Burgundy Double Shot leather, Christy sole

Just received these boots last night, after ordering on Fathers Day this year. Out of the box I wore last night for about 2 hours and they were sorta tough. I wore today to work and kept some back ups in my truck anticipating the pain. I’m still wearing as I write this at 6:00 PM. I laced and left 2 speed hooks empty and it felt more comfortable as the day went on. I own some black 8” Perry’s in the work leather and they feel about the same in the initial break in. I have some 6” Millwoods in distressed brown and they were more subtle out of the box. I am completely sold on these Perry boots or anything on the 1972 Last with the Christy soles. Very comfortable for all day work on your feet. I love wearing these boots with the Christy soles on on concrete or anything I do outside. They are my kicking around, working outside or inside boots now for comfort! Much more comfortable than my 100 lug, 430 or 700 soled boots.

I got these in 12.5 and they are possibly a little too big for me but comfortable. I think if I was to buy again I might try a 12 D

Breaking in was rough with such a solid, sturdy, unbelievably well crafted piece of beautiful artwork. Once broken in though there isn't another comparable piece of footwear in the world. Molds to you; your specific foot shape, your way of walking, etc.
