Giving company to my Trickers. Well matched brothers from two sides of the pond. Similar build and construction, but the Trickers seem even more tank like to be honest. So, if one is used to wearing Trickers, GS does not come across as too heavy or clunky at all.
The leather sole on the Ottawa seems pretty flexible, unlike what some members have mentioned on this thread.

How is Tricker's sizing compared to Grant Stone? I was planning on getting a pair of Stow boots sooner or later. 9.5D brannock but more comfortable in 9E and 8EEE than Grant Stone Leo 9D. Was thinking UK 8.5 for a 4497 last Stow?Giving company to my Trickers. Well matched brothers from two sides of the pond.

8.5 in Trickers should fit just fine. The Stows fit pretty true to size , so a size down from Brannock should work well.How is Tricker's sizing compared to Grant Stone?

The Bourbon Ottawas in 9 E are here! I need to lace them quite tight (I like a very snug fit), so I think a half size down in the same width is a better size for a snug fit. Any suggestions on this point from the pics of the boots on my feet?
There is about 1.3 inches of room in front of the toe, with lot of toebox room. The widest part of the foot matches the widest part of the boot. A very tiny bit of heel slip, almost negligible. Overall a good fit, if laced tight.
Loafer in loden suede. Tight across the vamp but wanted to err on snug side thinking of summer wear (though my wife might be horrified by the sockless loafer look); a little stretch and softening up and I should be good hopefully. Really like the suede though - it’s sort of grey green brown depending on light (grey being predominant).
Also just got Forest Kudu cap toes in which are uhhhhmazing so I am excited to try those out.
