Andrew said:Guys. Thanks so much for the informative responses, and Paul, your report is exactly what I needed so thanks for taking the time to do it. They do look great and just what I want. I'll get my order underway and hopefully I won't have the same problems that you did Corey.
Question: Are your feet narrow or wide? If they are in the middle range or on the wider side, I would go with the WW II Impressions EE width. I found the toe box to be really long, tight, and narrow on the D.Andrew said:Guys.

Andrew said:They look excellent Paul and I can't recall seeing any other images posted anywhere that show what these look like before and after. Thanks again.

I'm really impressed and happy with them. I ordered the 11.5EE based on the advice from Juan after sending him the length and width measurements of my traced foot and the fit is spot on. Yes, the toe is narrow and extends a little but that's something about the style I like.
Now I need to waterproof them and i'll see what the local supermarkets sell (hopefully the Kiwi stuff) but if anyone knows if Pecards is safe to use on them pls let me know as I have a tub. It's a bit of a shame as I really like the tone of them as they are but I suppose that won't last long unprotected.
Are the laces correct or were originals of the round type?
Hopefully these pics will help anyone else trying to make the decision.
OMG! You unwrapped them? Look at the wrapping? I would have saved them for 'good'. I still have desert uniforms I never de-tagged to save for later on... Seeing as they are unwrapped now you might as well enjoy them.

If you look closely you can see where my toes are and the are a good inch away from the narrow point of the boot so they don't really get squashed at all.
