Black wholecut on the Ama last. I'll have to order a Linea Maestro model soon too, to compare.

There should be new LM offerings on the Olfe and other more accommodating lasts coming after the holidays.

Some lasts seem to be wider than other lasts, which works for my wide feet. I did notice all LM shoes are on the same last at the moment.

Can anyone tell me the name of the shoe pictured as the sample for the Ama last? Looks like a MTO, but I wanted to make sure of the leather/color.

Thanks.

How accurate or not, I don't know, but the Indy is on TruBalance similar to Barrie, so a 1/2 size change is convention, and therefore yes. I wear Aberdeens and are a half size smaller than Barrie, which I own in Shell PTB. However, that doesn't help unless you specify which Meermin last you are discussing

I'd size up one full, but would ask Pepe for easy answer to that. Yes, Hiro is a little wider in the forefoot ( slightly), and roomier in toe, but without getting a consensus answer from other Hiro wearers, or pepe's answer, a full size up is safe.

Not sure what "tru balance" is, but from most Allen Edmonds lasts (in which I'm a 9D) I went down 0.5 to 8.5UK and it was perfect. Hiro last, black captoe oxfords from the classic collection.
