I want to know if I'm a fool for looking at a UK8 Carmina Uetam on sale.
I'm struggling to make sense of my shoe size ordering online and some of the brands I have tried on are too niche for last sizing threads. There aren't brannock devices in my bit of the world but my foot sole length is around 28cm.
I wear:
Tricker's W2298 (James Loafer): says UK7.5 but seller says was supposed to be UK8.5. Fits okay width wise, but the tiniest bit too short.
Magnanni Deerskin Oxfords US 9.5: Took forever to break in, fits like a glove at first but fatigue throughout day.
Stemar Chelsea Boot EU7.5, US 8.5: Tight in the toebox but no heel slip.
Nike Cortez US9.5: Fits well, would love a pinch more toebox room, but wonder if this is as good as it gets.
Adidas Gazelle US10: Ever so slightly large
Things that I've tried:
Loake Chelsea (non 1880) UK9: too large
Clark's Desert Boot US9.5: Too Large
Sid Mashburn (Spain) Chukka US 9.5: Painful heel slippage (large), tight toebox.
Sutor Mantellassi Loafer UK8: Too small
Church's Chukka bookbinder (Ryder?) UK8.5: Too Large
Dunhill Penny Loafer (Italy) UK8: Too small
Mr P Lucien Suede Derby UK8.5, EU42.5: Too Large Again!
Bally Scavone Chelsea UK7.5 EU 41.5: Perfect, too expensive
Can anyone weigh in on what kind of size I should be looking at?
I'm also wondering if I'm really UK 7.5 in Tricker's, or UK8.
