When you sent me this pic (thanks BTW), I also edited in a line and if you do that on the A/E then move it over the Italian model, the length heel to ball is the same.
I sized these down 1/2 size in the 'sizes available', so a USA 11 is stamped 10.5 on the shoe.
I would say these shoes are not for trim feet.
Also, keep in mind, I do offer the ability to return for exchange/store credit. Just an FYI.
Thanks guys - I'll try to get some of the latest arrivals up quickly....but might be best to wait until next week. Working on it.....

ps - please don't pay much mind to my Rider Boot page until September....still learning this website stuff!

Your customer service and goods are excellent. I was simply unlucky. Regardless, both pairs were too large, which is my problem and not yours. I posted this as my personal opinion that may be valuable to others.

Now all I have to do is throw some Venetian on them and find an excuse to wear them. Thanks Ron! Waiting for more Rider merchandise to throw money at.
