Can anyone tell me which DC Lewis's last won't run narrow. I can always size up, but I would prefer not to. If I size up I will either have to put on insert or heel will start slipping (at least that's my experience with other brand when I size up, even just by half).

Are the shoes that are up on Kent Wang's site right now the new shoes the DC Lewis folks mentioned earlier for Spring 2013? Those navy oxfords are calling to me...

And, does anyone have any sizing info relative to some of the standard lasts? C&J 337 and Alden Barrie would be of particular interest to me... Thanks!

The 101 will run true to size. The 102 is slightly elongated and may appear tight at first but will mold to a very comfortable medium width.

If you can give me your size in these lasts, I should be able to assist you with the correct size / last

what if I am actually wide, i.e. 9E US, would I still go for 9D on 101 or 9.5D on 101? As for 102 would I be 9D, 9.5D or even 10D?

David and I have been working on this new collection of shoes for many months and they have just arrived. The DC Lewis shoes are branded as my handgrade line and I am the exclusive retailer.

Just curious, about how many of each size do you have (specifically the black monkstraps)? Can't purchase right away, but would hate it if they went OOS on my size.

We typically have 2-3 of each size. If you would like to put a deposit down, we would be happy to hold a pair in your size for you.

I asked this in Kent Wang's thread a while ago, but nobody really had any feedback: since Kent sells both his own benchgrade shoes and DC Lewis handgrade shoes, can you offer any fit advice relating to Kent's shoes? The brown captoe balmoral fits me very well, so I was wondering if the same size in DC Lewis would fit similarly. Thanks.
