Now is coming to the time to leave my Wested Lambskin in the closet and take out the Wested Pre-Distressed Cowhide! Love it!!

I had a 1/2 inch gap between the floor and the back of the heel when standing straight. I have looked at a lot of pictures of the boot on the forums but have never seen a set with a heel as thick as mine was. It could very well of been just me and there could of been nothing wrong with them. But I ...

Day 3: Boots have kept my feet dry during a torrential downpour. Comfort is probably the best I have felt and no blisters have occurred yet. Well done Todd, A* :) I'm hoping I can wear mine in and for the boots to stretch to accommodate my very wide feet. They're still quite stiff and rigid right n...

Well the more I'm wearing them, the more I'm getting used to it.

irishjones

Doubt they can put something on. I recommend bringing both boots in a bag to the cobblers and ask them if they can do something about it. It has been my second day of wearing out in town at work, so far there are no issues and they are holding up well. I don't feel comfortable bringing a brand new ...

irishjones

But they would have to sand down the other shoe heel as well to keep them the same height. Ask them to put a new heel on. They remove the old one by sanding it and nail/ glue a new one on. P.S Glad they fit :D I may ask them to put something on the defective heel that makes it the same as the corre...

Well guys, I think I can give my review now. First of all, I do have one negative. It's a pretty prominent one. The heel of the right boot isn't flat. It's curved slightly, so much so that it can be tilted to almost a 20-degree angle. Looking at it from the naked eye, you wouldn't see it, but when i...

Well, hopefully they will fit. If they don't, I suggest selling them on ebay or on here, I'm sure someone in the UK would want them, and then purchase a new pair. I wouldn't bother with sending them back because you will have to wait at least 3 week. and have to pay many a customs charges. Sounds l...

Well, hopefully they will fit.

Never dealt with them before. Are they as bad?

irishjones

It was 'Parcel Farce', but they are a section of Royal Mail that deals with international stuff. I guess I am the first in the UK. Will make a youtube video this weekend for your entertainment.

Them or Parcel Force, whoever deals with those things. I think it's Parcel Force, actually.

This isn't fair, I STILL haven't received anything yet. :'(

irishjones

Yeah I'm starting to get a little jealous of people here talking about having their boots already.

irishjones

No I'm going directly to the sorting office itself to pick them up. Whenever they actually inform me they're available for pick up.

irishjones

Just paid £45.70 for my customs charge (incl £12.00 delivery for tomorrow?!?!?). 100% Guaranteed Delivery for tomorrow. :D Now THAT is disgusting! That's almost half the price of the boots again! I swear, with the shipping costs and customs charges, I could have bought 2 pairs if I were in Todd's s...

Got an update this morning on the boots on the Track and Confirm site. It states "Customs clearance processing complete" at 5:09am this morning. I wonder how much longer I'll have to wait.

irishjones

I know that your just jonesing for those boots. Felt the same way when I made an order for a Wested Hero and later made a surreal drive up Wested Lane to pick it up in person. Fortunately Peter brought me down to earth with his usual patter ;) I would love to take a trip over to Wested Lane to see ...

My tracking info says the post office now has them. They are sending me a nice letter asking me to pay for my property. The letter will probably be with me tomorrow,I can pay online.Then they should be with me on monday. Mine just still stating "Custom Clearance" but that was on July 3rd....

Has anybody in the UK received their boots yet?

irishjones

Irish- mine are marked size 8 but feel like between an 8.5 and a 9. They're roomy enough for me to wear hiking socks, but not too roomy when I'm wearing normal weight socks. Well if they seem to be running a little large than advertised, then that's a bit of a relief. I just don't want them to be s...

If there were a preorder they were changed! = ) [/quote][/quote] Yes I did preorder my boots. What would they have been changed to? I don't want them to be changed. I'm slightly confused. Did you change the labelling on my US size 10.5 to say a UK 9.5 or did you send me a completely different size ...

irishjones

My boots have now arrived in the UK, so I should hopefully have them by the end of the week. HAPPY DAYS!!! It's getting closer!!!! How can you find out if they have arrived in the UK?!?!?! I have had no news, no tracking, nothing. ](*,) Well when Todd was able to send the boots out for delivery, I ...

irishjones

Hey guys! Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that we are not changing the sizes on boot orders anymore, that was just for the preorders. So now if you order a size 10 we will send a size 10 (which is actually like a US size 11). Sorry the sizing thing is confusing, but im trying to make sure e...

I really don't want to have to return mine all the way back across the Atlantic. It will **** majorly if I do.

irishjones

Glad to see that some of our members have received their boots. WHERE'S THE PICS, GUYS????

Now I'm a little concerned that I should have ordered another full size more than I take because I have freakishly wide feet. We shall see...!

True, true! Royal Mail should take a leaf from USPS' book in terms of service.

irishjones

I'm on the Priority International service as well. I give it a week to deliver, which is their usual great service.

irishjones

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received this by e-mail just 5 minutes ago....!

Hi Ciaran

An order you recently placed on our website has had its status changed.

The status of order #2075 is now Shipped

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as nicktheguy said it looks like the factory has used uk sizes.

Hahaha, oh right okay then, looks like my boots will be a size large for me then! LOL.

irishjones

i.e. I orderd a size 9 1/2 (us) and they will send me boots marked 8 1/2 as they are running one size large. This is not the way it works. They should be sending you a 9.5 US size because that is your size in the USA, not 8.5. I have a feeling your boots will be a size too small for you. I ordered ...

nicktheguy wrote:Sounds like the boots are UK sizing

Haha, as I live in the UK, I had to use the USA sizing. Over here, my feet are size 9 to 9.5, so I had to say 10 or 10.5 for the USA sizing. LOL.

irishjones

I see in the trivia section of the boots page that there is an update indicating that these boots run one size large (i.e., an "11" may actually be a "12") Yes. I wear a 10 1/2 wide and the 9 1/2 fit very nicely. Very comfortable!!! Well I hope so, because my feet are not too bi...
