Thanks mw313! I have a dark brown St Crispin shoe in uk 13 G in the classic last. The fit is really quite good. I will be looking to improve upon it at the next trunk show. They are very good shoes with a quite distinct character.
Foe reference, I usually wear uk 13e (crockett & jones 348/ edward green 82 last). St Crispin appears to size widths somewhat differently from other shoe makers.
Great to hear!
What other shoes (EG, GG, Alden, AE, etc.), lasts, and sizes do you wear for reference?
I can only wear the 202 by EG because that is the only one that they can make in an extra narrow UK B width on the 13.5 UK. It is still a bit wide for me so I'm thinking that a UK 13 B would work width wise and would be close enough for length.
That makes me think that St. C in 13 may work but i don't know if 12.5 could be better and they can build it up if needed and won't have to take as much away for the width. Philip Carr basically told me that a custom last is all that he could imagine working for me, but it will be tough to get the time to see him in person, so any tips for a starting point would help and then I probably would try to send him tracings and measurements of my feet if he would take them.
