These are 8UK which in PS are bigger than a 9 - for example they fit very similar to the 9.5D brooks brothers peal boots.

Like the OP said, if you are a true 9.5 US these boots are for you. Corso don't fit one size up in US sizing.

I'm a 13 US and wear 11UK in these without a shread of tightness.

Are you sure thoese are actually Corsos? The ones I've seen, including the pair I own, have 7 eyelets. The Dickens model is the one with 9 eyelets, but otherwise the two basically look the same. I think the Dickens have a similar fit, but as others have said with the Corsos you can safely size down at least 1.5 if not 2 full sizes from your usual US size compared to the marked UK size. Great boots regardless.

They are Corsos. Inside the boot is a sticker (very easily removeable) that says "Style: Corso; Leather: Castorino; Color: T. Moro 595"

And, I agree with the other posters - even though the store tag says "9 Med" and they are marked "8" (UK) on the bottom, these are definitely 9.5 US

Fantastic boots - curse my lousy feet.
