Wested Boots

Post by IndyRich »

Hi all
I need a little advise. I bought a pair of the Wested Adventurer boots in a UK 10 when they first started offering them. From day one they always Felt too tight and had foot pain when wearing for a prolonged time. But stuck with them as thought they needed breaking in.
I’ve recently dug them out of a box and thought I’d give them another go, but to no avail

It wasn’t until today that I noticed something about the sizing printed on the tong. EU44, USA9, UK10.

This seems a little odd as US sizes are normally larger than UK. I’m wondering if these where labeled up incorrectly in the factory and are actually a UK9, US10

Looking to purchase another pair in a UK10 once they are restocked, but if anyone has a pair in a UK10/US11, could you check what sizes are printed on the tong?

No experience with these but the Euro size and the UK size seem to match up... which should make these about a size 10.5 US. Strange indeed. Probably best to just e-mail Wested directly and ask them.

Thanks Magnoli. I emailed Wested prior to posting on the board. They replied soon after saying that the sizing looked a little odd, and blamed it on a manufacturing error. They advised that I wait and order a 10 when the next batch was available. Was a little bummed at this, as they could of at least offered a small discount, but hay-ho, worse thing happen at sea.

I took the plunge a couple of night back, and in a Jack Daniels fuelled haze, I ordered a UK11/US12. They came the other day, and although they felt like steel at first, after a quick water bath, they are now starting to feel extremely comfy (pictured). It appears that these boots tend to run at least half a size smaller than labelled.

My first pair are now for sale on the bay of e (114247497188). If anyone Stateside is interested then drop me a PM. I'll attempt to get you a decent shipping quote.
