I'll throw in my two cents. I have a pair of William double monks in size 10E. They run very generous in width and overall size, close to a US 11.5. That's why they're on buy and sell. Double E is probably going to be very wide.

This has been very helpful.. I should get UK8 E for the William 2 monk shoes in 9795 last rather than UK8.5 E as experienced by you it is a generous last

Sizing is not consistent from one shoe to the next. Had really bad experience with the 7000 last where I had to jump around in sizes to achieve the same fit as my previous pairs. Now I own 3 pairs in 3 different sizes, both in length and width.

Especially true when you go from the classic line to the Prestige. I find prestige to be smaller.

This can justify the differences in experience different people have with JL shoes. Your best bet if this is your first pair is to go with the average response and then go from there.

Do tax free, however their stock is heavy on wide fittings. Tax adjustment at register once destination is inputted.

It’s better off wait for hk store sale, they did 50% off for selected models/ sizes. At least you can see the actual pair before paying.
