I didn't realize there was a US "F" width. Maybe you meant EE or EEE?

Yeah I think you're right. Maybe the F would be equivalent to an EE.

If I recall correctly, all the shoes named after great English politicians were from the Top Drawer line. MilanoStyle: the Top Drawer line was a line positioned a little above the normal line. I believe the quality of the leather was a bit better, but I guess there others here that should be able to inform you better on this subject matter.

I think the Top Drawer was only for the japanese market.

Well. Shoes arrived in just 3 business days after the payment. This is the fast turnaround time ever! And the shoes were coming from Germany!

The shoes looks spectacular. Antiquing on the shoes is simply amazing. They almost looks 100 yrs old but no one wore them. I think this has to be one of my best eBay purchase ($370US inc Shipping). The shoes don't seem to be sub nor rejects.

Fit is kindda odd as forum members mentioned, but they still fit me pretty well. Sizewise, they are dead on. The shoes are light as feather.

Now I have questions:

1. What is the best way to polish this shoes. They are in dark brown/chest nut tone.. Should I just use dark brown polish?

2. Do you guys think it's worth to get EG shoe tree?

Thanks
