How does "The Armoury" last on Carmina fit to Simpson, Inca or Uetam? I see a Suede Single Monk Armoury Last shoe I REALLY want. But I can't get it at Armourys price if I'm not sure it'll fit (... beyond a reasonable doubt).

Beautiful.

How is Uetam last compared to Simpson last?

Really close to the same. Some say the Uetam is more narrow.

My advice (which has been proven to be more commonly correct lately) is, if the Uetam is on a loafer, size down half. The throat (opening) is usually a little wider longer on the loafers which gives a looser fit. I have Simpson in 10.5 and Uetam in 10.5 and 10. The 10.5 have major slippage. The 10's are tight but not too tight.

Conversely I am a UK 10 who cannot fit into a Uetam 10. I have Simpson Oxfords and loafers in UK10. Haven't tried a Uetam 10.5
