If that's the case, Antonio gave me bad advice. Anyone looking to buy a pair of brand new black suede Capri split toe derby (9uk)? ?
I'll keep you guys posted. They should be arriving within the next two weeks or so.
Keep us posted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!
He is but if Antonio knows that bcol is 9uk across lasts like me, then it's very likely that the unlined suede shoes have enough room to accommodate a 0.5 size down on a tts last. I guess I should try them on first just to be sure but I'm not feeling very optimistic right now.
I have similar feet as bcol, I guess, but my instep is probably lower. I'm a 10us for shoes but can take 9D on Barrie last, 9uk/43 U last (with too much heel slip), 8.5 uk Sailor last, 8.5 round last (SoH)...just to note a few dramatic sizing. I'm usually 9uk across the board with some exceptions. I guess I have medium feet that fit into almost anything.what's your size again (across a few things)? I feel like you're sometimes same as me sometimes half size larger, so I can see not down size might work for you.

I have Yeossal SG65 and YC3 and AM soft square - instep on soft square is slightly lower than both Yeossal lasts I’ve tried. I took 1/2 size up in Soft Square from my Y size.
FWIW when I did measurements and tracings Antonio asked me to do them seated rather than standing.
Antonio is very particular about sizing and has only ever guided me appropriately once we had the measurements down. I know folks who took same sizing on Capri as they have with other meccariello lasts, and I know some that took a half size smaller on the Capri, including myself. Everyone’s foot is different, and the Capri besides being unlined is on a more casual wider fitting last. Think more like a classic uk size, vs the typical meccariello sizing which is usually a bit narrower and requires folks to size up unless they have a leaner foot.I'll keep you guys posted.

Thanks, man. The more I hear about the Capri sizing, the more I suspect that I should've sized down. Anyway, Antonio says he'll send with insoles just in case.Antonio is very particular about sizing and has only ever guided me appropriately once we had the measurements down.

Yup, I was chatting with him 2 weeks back and he said to size down for the Capri. You should reach out to Angela to see if you can change the size. If you take standard E fitting, may be able to change.Thanks, man. The more I hear about the Capri sizing, the more I suspect that I should've sized down.

We'll see. Hopefully it'll be fine. Maybe I'll just wear them with thicker socks during colder months.Yup, I was chatting with him 2 weeks back and he said to size down for the Capri.

From experience, suede is softer and my centurion in soft square Janus suede is way bigger than my usual soft square in the same size. It will be worst for Capri as it is unlined.We'll see. Hopefully it'll be fine. Maybe I'll just wear them with thicker socks during colder months.
Make sure to try it out before jumping to conclusions. If AM gave you that advice, you should definitely see how that goes. While most people size up half, you might be one of the exceptions.
