What size would I be on the F last?

Allen Edmonds 5 last Park Ave 8D US - good fit

Meermin Olfe oxfords 7UK - good fit

Meermin Hiro double monks 7UK - tiny heel slip, but ok

C&J/RL Lindrick boots 7UK/7.5US - good fit

Carmina Oscar last boots 7UK - good fit

People recommended 41 for U last before.
I'd recommend the same for F last. I would start with f last, as it tends to be a bit more forgiving on fit. Im an 8EEE in AE 5 last and went with a 40.5H in Vass f last, wish I would have gone for a 41, its just a bit too snug to wear for longer periods of time
