Carmina Braided Loafer, UK 9 - Brand new shoes, never worn, selling b/c too big

I just bought these Carmina Braided Loafers from Skoaktiebolaget in a size U.K. 9, and they're too big. The shoes are brand new; I'm selling because I don't want to eat the return shipping cost to Sweden. This is a Simpson last. 2-day shipping is included in the price. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi nimo,
What do your feet measure on a Brannock, that these tan Carminas are too big for? Also, what is the heel cup width like?
Do you think you could provide us with some dimensions of the outsole? Length, width of the heel, diagonal forefoot width, wide point to wide point, and perhaps some outside measurements of the upper, same diagonal forefoot width, heel cup?
- Thanks

Hi Marco,

Sorry, I have to withdraw the sale. I needed to send it back to Skoaktiebolaget in order to stay within the return window.

Hi Marco,

Hi nimo, Marco again
I was bummed when you responded to me, saying you had decided to send those tan, braided, slip-on Carminas, back to Sweden, as there was a good chance they would have fitted me.
I thought I might find time to drive down from Los Angeles, to San Diego Ca., tomorrow morning, if Steve Yoo had a Simpson lasted Carmina, in my size range (9-10UK), he wouldn't mind me getting a sizing on. But last night, I checked skoal.....'s website, and all they have left, in that shoe, is the UK9 size.
So, if you had the time, I'd love to know what you measure on a Brannock, and in what way, that shoe was too big for you. My bigger foot is 10 1/4 D, after I've been on my feet all day, but my instep is low, and my heel is narrowish. I'm a pretty good match for old, nicely made, Bruno Maglis, they have a narrowish heel, but I can't go back in a time machine, to get old Brunos. I've got a nice pair of, old black Bruno Oxfords, but I am looking for tan.
Also, how much did it cost you, to ship those Carminas back to Sweden?
- Thanks
