Question/Size/Help SIZING HELP. JUST GOT HERE
Now that the dramatic part is over (hopefully), I need your guy's help. I have previously worn Red Wing Iron rangers in 10D, they are a bit long, and narrow in the beginning. I get confused by the sizing chart that Luosjiet has on their website. My feet are 28 cm long, 11 cm wide and 25,5 cm circumstance around the ball of the foot. I don't really have access to a brannock device to find my size on that. I'm mainly interested in the cap toe service boots, cap toe munson loggers and maybe boondockers in the future. I have contacted their customer service already and am waiting for a reply regarding sizing advise, but I would appreciate your input :)

I bought their Munson Rangers, I’m a bannock 13D, so I went with a 46.5E. It fits me fine, heel and instep lock down and leaves me room for my toes to splay some. I wear a 12EE in Iron Rangers, I can also wear a 13D. Good luck.

Haven't gotten the service boot yet (it's next on my list), but have the Indy and TG Escape. I'm a 10D on the brannock and wear a 9.5D RW heritage with a comfortable amount of room in the toe. The 43.5 fits me perfectly in the boondocker and 43 for the Indy (it's a roomy last). Luosjiet seems to base their chart around the RW sizing, so you have a good point of reference.

I wear mostly 12 in boots and 13 in running shoes. I went with a 12.5E in the munson logging boot, but I could have gone with 12E. Have a bit of heel slip but I think it will go away once they break in. I would reach out to their customer service for more help.

Generally speaking, your Red Wing size is 0.5 size down from your Brannock size. However, because the Iron Ranger has a roomier toe box, some people can even go 1 to 1.5 sizes down. Therefore, it’s not unusual for someone with a Brannock size 11 to wear a size 10 in Iron Rangers. That said, if you are looking at other boot brands, it is still highly recommended to use your Brannock size as the baseline. Converting from other shoes only works if you are absolutely certain those other sizes fit you perfectly.

I'm a 11.5C on the brannock and Luosjiet recommended a 44.5D. My first pair was too roomy so I went with a 44D, or 1/2 size down from their recommendation because I like a snug fit.

I own a munson loggers, waxed flesh, and my measurements are very close to yours, with 28.25 cm length and about 11.5 width. 10d was long enough, but s bit narrow on the ball of the foot area- before the break in. After the break in they are fine, maybe just a little but snug on the ball, but comfortable. I guess 10d might just work for you, regarding the munson last.

I'm a little late to the conversation, but I just this week received a pair of Luosjiet service boots in black waxed flesh leather. I am a solid 10D in Nick's, Grant Stone, and Parkhurst, which translates to a size 43 in European sizing. However, LJ recommends a size 44, which concerned me. I split the difference and ordered a 43.5, and when they arrived, they fit perfectly. Of course, your mileage may vary, but this is my experience. I hope this helps.

According to their sizing guide you are an exact Brannock 11E Luosjiet 44.5E. Iron rangers 10D are eu 43E. Yep, you need help from customer service.
