The length and width are fine. It's the instep (I have a low/low-average instep) that gives me problems. My U-Last oxfords (Budapest/Wingtip model) are just fine (not perfect, but fine). It may be a monk strap problem, as I've had to sell off other monk straps (including some Vales
) that were too loose across my instep. I prefer a tighter fit across the instep, so that it may be a personal preference as well.
PS: I'd be interested in some intriguing trades as well, as the funds from this sale will simply go into purchasing something else.

If you can wait two weeks (I'm in Italy on business) I'd be interested in possibly trading Edward Green for Ralph Lauren Purple Label Peering Oxfords in Black. Great condition, 7.5/8D US (fit up to a half size large for an 8-8.5. My timing sucks, but let me know if there's some interest there
