There is the A. Testoni sale on Gilt Groupe, as most of you may know. There are a few pairs of shoes that have struck my fancy, one in particular, but I don't know if they'll be too narrow for me. I have been told that I am a 10 with a high in-step. I'm returning a pair of Nike Sneakers today because they are somewhat uncomfortable. A pair of Bruno Magli, on the other hand, fit great; although Magli has a reputation for comfort.

Heads up, the sizing is UK (Italian sizing per Gilt Groupe)on some styles. You will need to drop down 1 whole size. Other styles are true to size?

Thanks, yeah the Wingstips I have singled out are true to Italian leather dress shoe sizing. I just fear they will be too small and I will only receive credit upon returning them.

Can anyone attest to the quality and true U.S. sizing of these shoes? I usually wear a 7.5D, and fear getting these in a 7.5 may be too narrow.


with bologna construction the side of the shoe is very pliable, so wide feet arent as big of a problem, since the leather will just stretch to fit. at least in my experience (i have wide feet).
