So I might know the name of the wool mill, Michael said in some previous video that his wool is spun and dyed in Wyoming. And when you look it up for that wool mill in WY, it is likely to be the one that he worked with. The 2 steps process that Michael prefers to near the end sounds a lot like the not so eco friendly process of superwashing, i.e. reducing friction and stabilizing. That wool mill doesn't offer that, they go with the natural route. So, I don't know what to think about it here.

I'm interested in the Jim Green Wait-a-Bits, but I've never owned a Jim Green boot and could use a little help with sizing.

I generally wear US 10.5 in sneakers, but with my Thursday Heritage Captains I sized down to a US 9.5. I prefer a slightly tighter fit in my boots.

What would be the best boot size for Jim Greens for me? When I looked at their sizing chart it recommends a 10.5, but that seems a bit large for me, especially since I hear that Jim Green runs wide, so maybe a size 10? I don't plan to wear these with super thick socks as they're going to be more of a summer boot for me.

I know Jim Green has free returns and exchanges, but given that this is a limited production run I might not be able to exchange them for a different size, so just wanted some sizing input from people who have ordered from Jim Green before.

They don't offer wide sizing. If I go up 1/2 size up, as recommended on the site, the boot will be too long. It's a shame because I really wanted a pair. Oh well.

On the other hand, if you have regular D width feet, here ya go. Enjoy them on my behalf:

Tracking the shoes are in their 77 last: anyone who has wider feet, can you comment on the sizing for their shoe lasts? I have pretty wide feet and I prefer to have my toes to have a little bit of wiggle room.
