my lowtop MMMs actually fit me really snug. They stretched out quite a bit. I have another pair in size 41 that I have never worn because I don't feel like breaking in a new pair. Next time I will get 42 in the lowtops. my hightops in size 41 fit me fine.

well they fit two sizes larger than the marked size. however the marked size is not a US measurement, it is UK as far as I understand. So when you convert the UK size to US size, then one can say it fits feet 1 to 1.5 sizes bigger than marked.

My right foot is US 9.5 measured on a brannock. My left foot is US 9 on the brannock.
So a Lanvin 7 (UK) translates to a US 8. and it fits both of my feet perfectly, hence me saying it fits feet up to 1.5 sizes bigger.

They're available for sale now for $795 http://usa.prada.com/en/US/e-store/

i tried those on in brown wingtip at the barneys in LA. they didnt have my size but i really liked them. the prada site only has them in 10.5 in black which is the color id prefer honestly.

A US 12 could NOT under any circumstances fit into my size 10 old soles. The new soles, maybe, but they'd be very snug and kinda short I think.

i think as dlester said, the oversizing diminishes as you increase the label size number

thanks. that was the pair i was referring to. i think you need to size down on that style. that was why i thought it would be best for a size 10.
