Going up in size to accomodate for width doesn't make any sense. If last doesn't work for you the last doesn't work. Wearing a shoe 1.5 sizes long is not the solution
You would think people would learn that by now...

Shoe too short/long? Change the length size!

Shoe too narrow/wide? Change the width?

Still doesn't work? Try a different last

It's almost like it's logical.

Can you please try to clarify where the crack is? If it is in the sole, it might just be a normal join that should feature on both shoes. Any chance of a better photo?

I hope this image can help.. The crack is definitely not on the sole..

^^^ Very nice! That's exactly the colour I am after. What last are those on?
Thank you Roger! These are made on Hiro last. You can find them here: http://meermin.es/ficha_articulo.php?id=2749

The colour in the photo looks exactly like in the reality. Although may very depending on your screen settings. It is kind of shade that goes better with lighter colours (like light grey) rather than charcoal or dark grey imo.

^^^ Thanks for the info. I have ordered a pair of wholecuts on the Ama last (at least I think I have - placed it a few days ago and have heard nothing further and paid no $$) in that shade and also ordered a pair for my wife. Looking forward to my (our) first Meermins.

In my case it was like that:
Ordered: 29.12
Shipped: 10.01
Delivered: 14.01
You'll have to wait probably a couple more days for them to charge you. I was expecting a month for delivery so was quite surprised with slightly over 2 weeks

MTO Austerity Brogue on the Ben Last
Thanks mate! If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you? This is what I got from Luisa and I couldn't tell if all the prices except shipping included VAT or not... 260€ (shoes) + 100€ MTO cost + shipping fee = 395€ ($533.49US)

honestly at that price, I rather buy something more accessible if you're not 100% stuck on a specific style/ last. not to mention, you didn't account for the duty fees yet. some guy told me he was charged around $40 bucks for the LM line, making it closer to $600. you might get burned with sizing as well.

He probably meant duty fee, which is about $40
