Also any recommendations on sizing? I am a 10.5C or 10.5D in a US shoes.


I just received a pair of Belgraves on the 337 last in 9.5E from Pediwear. I've been measured as just under a 10.5 and on the verge of needing a wide.

I've had the RL Polo by C&J cordovan brogues, plain and wingtip in a US 10.5D (341 last?) for a few years and they've been fine. The Belgraves are about the same length or very slightly longer and may be a bit wider - there seems to be some extra length. They're even deep enough in the instep for my orthotics. If you're a true 10.5D I'd say the 9.5E would suit.

I went with the westfield, I gave the westbourne a hard look, but it just seemed too long for me, and I prefer a more traditional English shape to my shoes. Looking forward to the arrival of these shoes...

I have a pair of Belgraves im going to put up on the BS section in a few days. It says 10 1/2 on the inside but i guess thats UK so idk if that would fit you.

I am a 9.5 in Uk sizes so those will be too big for me - nice shoes though, they shoudl go fast

That is an astonishingly handsome pair of shoes.
