Looking to purchase a shoe on the 8695 last. If I'm a 11D in most US shoes (though sometimes an 11.5), and a 10.5/11 D or E in the Green 202/606 range, what size do you think would work on an 8695?

I wear 11D and have Lobbs in size 10E that fit perfectly; however, I don't have a pair on the 8695 last.

If you're really a US11D, I don't understand how you would wear and EG202 in 10.5E and not float in them... My guess is you're really a US11.5 if you wear EG202 in 10.5E.

Anyway... I have EG202 and JL8695 - they're both prettty roomy lasts and I wear the same size in both. So if you're happy with EG202 in 10.5E, I'd get the JL in the same size. If you think your EG are a bit too roomy, size down 0.5
