Gents, does any of you have the "in between half a size" issue lately? For example, I've noticed that with their new resin lasts (202 affected as well) the size UK 9.5 E is a bit loose on heel out of box and I can as well close the laces gap as if the shoes are well worn in. Whilst walking, a heel also feels a bit loose, and I'm afraid this might get worse over the period of time.
If I however size down to UK 9 E, I do feel a bit of a pressure on my fingers and the lace gap is there this time.
I am a bit frustrated with the fit lately as this problem never occurs when I try on a new pair of Crockett Jones, John Lobb or Church's shoes, all in size UK 9 E . They all fit just as the new shoes should fit - a bit tight, but not too much. It just seems impossible for me to nail the correct size with the EG.
I have the same issue with 202. I can't size down because of length but it seems like there's too much volume in my normal size. Not sure if I ever tried any pairs that were made using the wooden lasts, I purchased most of my pairs recently.
