Since EG doesn't have my size in stock it will take about 6 weeks for delivery, but the price (shipped) of ca. $705 is less than I could get on ebay, if the shoes ever appeared.

Let the feeding frenzy begin (with apologies to those of you guarding your wallets).

He was more than willing to help out and facilitate the communication and sending the shoes to EG when the time comes. I don't think that was only due to the fact that I have purchased 10-12 pairs from him - I think he would do this for anyone.

Based on pure conjecture he might do this for free (not adding anything to what EG charges) if you originally purchased the shoes through him. I would not hesitate to ask him.

Correct, Frank.
I'm the same size in the 202, 888 and 82 as long as they're the same width. Dunno about the 64 though but I'd imagine it to be the same size too.
My EG's are also all half a size larger than my crocketts.

Thanks all for the reply, it is safe for me to half size size down on the EG 22 last Chelsea, despite the feedback from Edward of Manchester that I should choose full size down with F fit (instead of E). For some reason I would go with my gut feelings.

I had the same conundrum....8.5E or 8F. Was told expressly that there is no relation between the two...the F is for wide feet and is noticably wiiide...if you don't have wide feet they will look like balloons on your feet. Plus 202 last chelsea is a bit short in length to begin with. Going down one size will give you a shoe that is too short to fit into. But if youre feeling lucky roll the dice.
