6th times a charm
Chippewa, red wing, wesco, lofgren, addict. It seems i’m not an off the shelf engineer boot guy. These Unsung house are a totally different story. Not fully MTM but they used a modified 10.5 c last.
Fit like a glove. Arch support like whites. Virtually no heel slip. The search is over.
Wow! just an amazing pairs of engineers mate :D

Hopefully you're done searching anymore, and design wise I see no point either as the Unsungs are as good as they come :)

Cheers!

They are saying 5-6 months now. I think my 2022 order was three months, but worth the wait.

Cheers! I’m going with the 8” height in a dark brown
Sounds like a solid choice! I've always pondered on buying some pacific north West boots because how long they'd take.
I'd absolutely love some Nicks and Whites but haven't taken the plunge yet.

Nicks have really upped their game over the past few years, for options and leathers. And their lead times aren’t as bad as some.

I just wish I could find my size in them, the whole print thing didn't work for me. But yeah some of their leathers are to die for!
I probably couldn't pull it off but love that new Mojave!

I really like their sizing guide (it’s basically Brannock minus a had size). And if in doubt, you can send them pics of the tape on your foot and they will give feedback on whether you are measuring correctly. There’s also an active Reddit community full of advice, tips and willingness to double check your measurements.

I’ve wasted many hours on their site, mocking-up difference boot make-ups.

Half size from brannock? I wish I could just pop in the shop and try some on tbh. Paying such an amount for these and them being ill fitting makes me sweat. I think I got lucky with my Trumans. Red-wing took me a few attempts and the guy in the red wing store ill advised me. I'm in the UK also so it's trickier sending them back and dealing with import tax.

PNW boots take some getting used to, but once you are, they are amazing (foot & arch support, construction, eventual comfort, last-a-lifetime durability). For White's specifically you may find going through Baker's Boots in Eugene Oregon is a better and simpler route. Or go direct with Nick's.

A third and much less expensive option is to find a gently worn pre-owned pair on ebay in your size. I find the length is a bit less crucial on these than the width. I have slightly narrow foot, so 11.5B -- 13C fit great. D-width is pushing it for me.

Thanks for the suggestion! I had looked at Bakers before as I really had a hankering for some bounty hunters. Pre-owned is definitely a sensible option though for sizing etc!
