I found the selection in stock online limited (Falke's own site that is), and also they didn't seem to ship outside the EU.  I emailed them to ask about that; basically if there's a retailer in your country that stocks them, great, or if you're in the EU you can buy from your language-specific site.  Otherwise, tough shit.

A real gentleman and snob with style is not allowed, at any circumstanses, to expose his white legs under the trousers. That´s wy we always wear knee stockings or suspenders, doesn´t we?

Mimo: I have bought my Pantharella socks at Hans Allde, a gentlemens shop on Briger Jarlsgatan here in Stockholm. But they were really hard to find.

Good you explained TTO. Since I wasn't happy with that look :(

9.5G.  Over the years I've also had a few in 9.5F, or even10F like those pictured above, but it's usually a bad idea.  These I've had for donkeys' years and they're comfortable enough by now, but if I'm honest they weren't really a great fit to start with and I shouldn't have bothered.  My foolish youth.

I also have a slightly smaller left foot, perhaps a higher than average instep, and what my mother used to call "banana feet"!  In short, everything calls for bespoke shoes but my budget!  One of these days...

Actually these are the other way around - a regular 10F.  If you're not familiar with UK sizes, F is normally medium, G wide.  A few fancier makers including EG and CJ use "E" for medium, so F would be wide and G extra wide.  These old derbies are Loakes, so F is medium.

So actually, they were originally too long and narrow.  It must be the angle I take the pics from. My little camera seems to exaggerate perspective a lot...I will try a different angle next time!

Here you go (sorry, second one's a bit blurred):
