Thank you for he complement. Don't forget that I'm in foot/ankle surgery and podiatry as a profession so this is extremely important to me as well as my own very unique feet. I'm willing to try to help anyone but especially the big boys like us. I love the idea of something like a Dover or beaulieu (austerity brogue) to be clean and simple yet more than a plain black cap toe. EB , EG and GG can accommodate us all. They can do extra narrow to extra wide if need be. That could be a great order for us big footed people to stand together.I am in awe of your knowledge @mw313 and your dedication in finding and trying so many makers. To have feet that are both so long and so narrow must be a trial. My only contribution to this nascent matrix of sizing information is pathetic - that C & J make a 12.5UK and a 13UK on their 236 last in E width, at least for the Connaught in black calf. But you could have told that from the website. Once I go back to the UK and get my stuff out of storage I might be able to contribute further. In the meantime I await a large feet MTO special with baited breath. My own suggestion would be to make something that isn't an Oxford in black calf but would still be a relative staple - a split toe wingtip like the EG Dover (but might the 'lake' exaggerate length and make big feet look silly?) or something like these shoes posted by Crat a few years ago in the EG thread
