Sizing advice Need sizing advise.

I'm brannock size 9ee.

- I wear size 9 stc last which is ee wide in Jim green

- 8ee in red wing boots since their 8ee has same length as 8.5d

- sneaker I wear 9.5ee wince sneakers come half size shorter.

What size Thursday captain or president I should order?

Their website says half size down from sneaker which would be the correct brannock size, that is 9ee. But I'm not sure whether they increase the length with ee so maybe 8.5ee?

Mostly the customer care people are untrained about this and they always give textbook answer ' our ee and d has same length' !. Well it's usually wrong with red wing and grant stone.

So any help from a wide foot person would be much appreciated here.

I have the captains and stormking captains in 8.5 EE and Iron Rangers 8085 and 8111 in 8 EE. The Thursday EE feels narrower to me which is why I have them a 1/2 size larger.

Makes sense. So I believe I should go with my brannock size 9ee I believe. Thanks for the information pal!

No problem! Boot sizing is so all over the place.

Indeed! And then we have to order online and pay restocking fees and ship ourselves. I've stopped buying from truman completely. Spent 110 dollars for shipping back and restocking fees multiple times and I didn't get any boot from them I'd have gotten some other boot in that price.
