Checking in late here @nick227 . Could you clarify this as I'm interested too. A full size down from what for example? I am a 41 in CP, 9.5 in Nike and NB and wondering if I would be an 8 or 8.5 in these.
10.5 is my brannock size, so the size I am for dress shoes that run true to size. This would be most Allen Edmonds. A lot of the most popular Alden make up run a half size large (like those on the Barrie last) in which case I am a 10. For these ALD loafers I am a 9.5, a full size down. My gut tells me they are just tagged in UK sizing from the factory.
I don't think Nike is a good comparison because I think all of their models fit differently. In CP Achilles I am a 43, in modern bballs and others I am a 44. In most NBs I am am 11, and for 1300s I am a 10.5 since they run a bit big.
Hope this helps!
