I bought these from forum member zielschuss hoping to make the size work, but the last is just a little too narrow. My loss/your gain. These are a beautiful, modern take on the classic captoe. Perfect for business or formal and in ernest-approved black. Heel-toe length comes in at 30.2cm (11.89") and width at the widest part at the ball of the foot is 10.7cm (4.21"). Marked as a UK 8.5 but I'd say they fit closer to US 9 than 9.5. Local NYC pickup strongly preferred; I have time this month so happy to come to you.

Here is the original listing, I am camera-challenged so re-using pics. Shoes have been worn 0 times since I tried them on in zielschuss's office.

Thanks razl--the original sale didn't generate many replies either. The shoes might be too down the line for gents here? Wish they fit better, they look great.
