I am pretty much in between a half size and a full size down from my standard US size. This would mean between a 10 to 10.5 UK for you. I have a wide foot, which is why I think a full size down may have been a tad snug on me. For someone with a standard length, I think a full size down on the 7000 last would be sufficient. Basically, I'd recommend a 10 UK for you, if your foot is a fairly normal shape.

i agree 10E -10.5 E in 7000

i would go by this though:

monkstraps/loafers size to the smaller one (i.e. 10E)

laceups go to 10.5E


im not sure of 7000, but my experience with 8000 has been that. monks and loafers some reason run a bit looser on me so i go with 9E. for all other laceups, i go with 9.5E in 8000

I get the same size in EG202 and JL7000 - both are a little roomy for me but the 1/2 size lower is tight. JL8000 and EG888 fit more snug than either for the same size

i size down half a size from EG202 to JL7000 (9.5E in 202 and 9E in 7000)

I go down a half size for all Lobb lasts from my EG size.

I wish my sizing was as straightforward as you guys. My left foot is a half size bigger than my right plus my left foot has a higher instep. Also, I have narrow feet. I've resigned myself to that fact that with half my shoes I need insoles to fill up volume. Based on these criteria, I wear the following in UK sizing:

JL 7000 - 9.5
JL 8000 - 10
EG 888 and 82 - 10
EG 202 and 606 - 10.5

It's true what they say though: there's no substitute for trying on the shoes.

This is really puzzling to me. You need a larger size in 202 than 888? 202 is definitely roomier on my foot...

I wear the following in UK sizing:

JL 7000 - 10.5E
JL 8000 - 10.5E
EG 888 - 11D
EG 202 - 10.5E

It puzzles me too! While the 202 is definitely roomier in width it must be the slightly longer toe box on the 888 that accounts for this difference in size for me. My Newmarket suede Chelsea boots fit like a glove on a size 10.5 in 202 - among the most comfortable shoes I own. Here I have ample toe room.

When I got fitted at an EG trunk show by Robert Godley he suggested that I would likely be a 10.5 on the 202/606 due to the way 888/82 fit me in a size 10. I seem to be right on the line of too big vs too small for many lasts.

My Lobbs are UK size 10, and my U.S. size is 11. I don't have any EG's.

I take the same size - 9.5UK standard width in:

JLP 7000
JLP 8000
EG 202

I have the same experience as Manton. From my US size 12D, I size down a half size for my Edward Greens (11.5E UK in both 888 and 82 lasts) and a full size for my John Lobbs (11E UK for both 7000 and 8000 lasted shoes.
