Correct! I placed an order the day after they were posted on Skoaktiebolaget's website.

I take size 8 in the Rain, Robert and Alaro lasts; my Rain lasted shoes were very snug to begin with but they're perfect now. The Detroit last is generous compared with the Rain, with more wriggle room in the toes, but I don't feel the shoe is too big. I doubt I could size down to a 7.5.

I love the look of that shoe. Actually looks very American to me.

Quote:
Indeed - the longwing is classic Americana. But Carmina has managed to add just the right amount of sleekness to pay homage to the original, yet grace the shoe with a more contemporary aesthetic. I would so love this shoe in shell. I love it a lot as is.

appooh, are the sizes you mentioned US or UK? What is your TTS? I am trying to figure out how to size the Detroit for myself.
