Sounds like UK6.5 should work for you. EB will have a slightly higher instep than RainCan anyone advise on 74945 last sizing compared to Carmina Rain and various Alden lasts? I take the following sizes:
Carmina Rain: 6.5 UK
Alden Barrie/Trubalance/Van: 7 US
Alden Aberdeen/Leydon: 7.5 US
I think I’d be a 6.5 UK in 74945 but want to confirm. Best fit in the lasts above are Rain and Van.
Awesome. Thanks. This is a silly question but what does it mean for a last to have a higher instep, practically? Does that translate to more volume, a higher arch, more room across the top of the foot specifically?Sounds like UK6.5 should work for you. EB will have a slightly higher instep than Rain
More room across the top of the foot specificallyAwesome. Thanks. This is a silly question but what does it mean for a last to have a higher instep, practically? Does that translate to more volume, a higher arch, more room across the top of the foot specifically?
Got it. I think that will work well, as that is where the fit on my Rain lasted shoes is less than perfect (pressure on tarsal or metatarsal bone of my “thumb” toes?).More room across the top of the foot specifically
Sounds like you'll really like the fit then. Should be close to perfectGot it. I think that will work well, as that is where the fit on my Rain lasted shoes is less than perfect (pressure on tarsal or metatarsal bone of my “thumb” toes?).
Dangerous: that's one aggressive look! How does the leather feel when walking? Supple and easy like calf or thick and in need of a heavy breaking in?

I think that should be fine. In terms of lasts being loose, I usually only run into trouble at the heel.I would say the 74945 has a higher instep and a bit more width at the ball of the foot compared to the rain last
Are you happy with this remake?I love the color depth these came with
