What last are these @Berto1 ? Soller?

It’s Llubi last.
Wide and extremely comfortable.
Won’t be my last pair of shoes on Llubi last.

Considering selling my Amaretto Shell Cordovan wing tip boots, size 8UK on the Llubi last. Storm welt, double JR soles. Literally about 5 hours of wear. PM if interested. Will get more pics tomorrow when I have better light.

So, which one is it? Is Genova-sizing comparable to Uetam or Xim (half a size larger)?

I ended up taking my Xim size.

For reference, I'm "almost" 10.5D US, so usually I take UK 9.5 in most Carmina last, and UK 10 in Simpson. For loafers, though, I generally take a half-size down from my usual size. As a result, I wear UK 9.5 for Simpson loafers, as well as Uetam.

I take UK 9 Xim and for an unlined loafers, it pretty OK (a little little little bit loose). Uetam UK 9.5 is pretty snug and I think it's pretty good fit.

I found Genova UK 9 to be very snug, a little more snug than Uetam 9.5 but also pretty comfortable (probably due to shape of the last), but this is not-yet-broken-in so it might loosen over time.
