Somebody smarter than me want to recommend a size based on their copy? I'm an 11 in most sneakers, Vans, etc and a 10.5 in Red Wings. My Wolvie 1K are a 10 and fit great. Gustin are going out of their way to claim their boots are true to Brannock size. That would put my mind at rest regarding sizing, because if I ordered a pair and they didn't fit I'd send them straight back for a refund stating that they're clearly not as marketed/sold. Anyway, if they are genuinely true to Brannock, I'd suggest you order the Gustin boots in a size 9. I own 4 pairs of 1ks and all are one size down from my Brannock measurement and all fit perfectly. 1ks are well known to run large. Width wise, Brannock measure me as just under an E. You mean 11, right? |

If I hadn't just gotten my Buzz Ricksons, I'd be down for a Natural. But with Buzz Ricksons, Alden Indys, Wolverine 1883 Orvilles, and two Chukkas, my wife would moidalize me if I got another boot.

No wide sizes. Seen lots of people asking for them, and I really hope they consider expanding, especially with a crowd-funded model. I'll just see myself out.  You may look at those Buzz Rickson's that are over in that thread, they only seem to come in E sizes. |

Somebody smarter than me want to recommend a size based on their copy? I'm an 11 in most sneakers, Vans, etc and a 10.5 in Red Wings. My Wolvie 1K are a 10 and fit great. The Natural ones would make an excellent Christmas present. To me. From me. The annoying thing is that Red Wing and Wolverine boots I have, and the Kendal Hyde boots I just got are all true to Brannock. I need an 8.5 in Red Wing, 9 in wolverine, something like an 8.75 in the Kendal. In most sneakers I wear a 10, sometimes 10.5. I'd go with your dress shoe size for these. Your Red Wing/Wolverine experience is opposite mine, though it should be noted my wolverine are workboots and not 1ks. |

Size guide is pretty straight. Order your normal size. Props for giving US 13 & 14 too. I was thinking I'd go there and see them max at 12 or some crap. You're just too used to their sizes topping out just before you can fit into them. |

Natural backed. I dropped a hint to my wife about how great this would be as a Christmas gift. She thinks I have a problem.

Your Red Wing/Wolverine experience is opposite mine, though it should be noted my wolverine are workboots and not 1ks. I've had three pairs of Red Wings, all 3 different sizes, but all three have the right fit because I bought them from a Red Wing store. Go figure. 1k's I went to a nice store that stocks them and tried on everything until I found the right size...then went home and bought a used pair on ebay, haha. |

That's my biggest thing with unknown sizing pairs of shoes. Really I would need to try on 3 pairs to see what fits the best especially since they are only D width. I for see a lot of sizing issues with shoes and boots.

So, the "low profile"...would logic indicate these will run tight due to this and one should size up? I wear a 10 in Red Wing Beckmans and Chuck Taylors, and a 10D in Justin cowboy boots, but those are higher through the arch and toe.
Geez, I like the look of the G boots, but ordering a pair is such a gamble, given that you can't just return them for a different size if they don't fit. And it's not as if G offers hassle free postage paid returns

Those mustard boots look strangely feminine. Bad pics. I have a pair of RRL in that hide that look great, and the pics of them looked just like the Gustin pics. I could be wrong about the Gustins, but I even pleaded with them on Instagram to take new pics and of course it went into the ignore bin... |

Is it just the photos, though? Here's one with all three pairs and the two brown pairs look as they look everywhere else and the tan ones still look overly vivid/bright:  It's certainly WAY more yellow/mustard than the 1000 Mile tan  |

Could be wrong, but others tend to give some sort of rub to the leather which tames it a bit. Those would with a light coat of Pecards or the like look the same or close I think. Sure, I could totally be wrong... |

It looked like wolverine burnish theirs with a little brown to ease the mustardness.
