Hm, well, I own one pair of Rain that I went TTS in, but I actually need a tongue pad with them due to the high instep. I have an odd foot, kind of lower volume and fairly average width at the ball, but with a lot of toe splay so I gravitate towards lasts with spacious toeboxes.
I had a pair of +0.5 size simpsons that were a bit too spacious for my tastes, so I'd say, for me personally: Rain size = Simpson size = Forest size.
I haven't tried Simpson, sadly, but I'm thinking I would be good with a 9UK. I have the length and width of a 9UK but the volume of and 8.5 or even a 8. I went in my last order with 9UK Rain and I feel that I will need a tongue pad later to not close completely the eyelets. I'm thinking 8.5 UK could be a better fit.
9UK in the Uetam is a great fit for me.
The best way to know is to actually wear and see what fits best
I know but what if... you can't try them and can't order different sizes cause it's hard to return them due to customs?
Nice! Sounds like you have a high instep, right?It all depends on your foot, really.
I take a UK9 in most shoes, and I take a UK9 in the Oscar last.
However, I need to take a UK9.5 in the Rain last. A UK9 in the Rain last is wearable, but it's not an ideal fit and a UK9.5 is more comfortable for me, both at the ball of the foot and over the instep.
