I wear a 10 in the loafers. Any recommendations on how to size the Leo last?
The question that comes to my mind first is "size 10 in what brands loafers, on what lasts?" Then, do you own any Grant Stone boots, bluchers or oxfords, and if so what size are you in them? I can say that I have found I wear the same size in the 3 GS lasts. Finally, contact GS directly for advice on sizing, they are great in helping.

I wear a 9E in the 511 and a 9d in the Leo. If you take an E in the barrie, I’d try 13e Leo first.

Thanks for the quick response. Yeah I could maybe be a 12.5 in Barrie but I'd probably have to go up to 12.5 EE or EEE.

I'll try 13 E in Leo as there doesn't' appear to be 12.5 sizing and go from there.

Thanks,
Robert

How does the Leo last fit? I am a 13E in the AE 97 and 511 lasts as well as Alden Barrie for reference. Should I do 13 E in Leo as well?
Don't know if it will help, but I'm an 8.5 D in Barrie, and in Leo as well as AE HM's, however I can wear a 9D without problems if wear thicker socks. Feet are actually closer to an 8.75, but still have plenty of toe room in Leo at 8.5.

One half size down (same width) from my Brannock and AE 65 last size; same size as my Alden Barrie and Trubalance size works perfectly for me. My Leo lasted footwear are among the most comfortable that I own.

My first ever pair of Grant Stones: Crimson Ottawa’s on leather soles. Still one of my favorites. Hard to imagine a more comfortable pair of boots. Love walking on those comfortable Grant Stone leather soles. Heaven. View attachment 1263196
I, also, love the GS leather sole and kind of wish everything was made with a choice of leather or rubber sole. But Good Grief, think of the inventory issues that would present...........

Which is why I buy just about every boot on a leather sole they release.
