Just recieved a beautiful pair of John Lobb City's from a fellow forumite. I'm trying to figure out the sizing on these, b/c they feel ok at first glance, but maybe even a bit short. which doesn't make sense, b/c if anything I was expecting them to be too long. they are marked 8.5 EE. does anyone know if Lobb ever marks their shoes using US sizes? below is a picture comparing all my shoes L:R Grenson 8F (UK) Lobb City 8.5 EE (US or UK?) AE Hinsdale 9D (US) vintage Florsheim 9D (US) RM Williams 7.5 G chelsea (AUS) Bostonian 8.5 EE balmoral (US)
it seems like these Lobbs are sized US? or do they run different for anyone reason I dont know? fwiw, these are on the 7000 last the lengths are all pretty close to one another. for instance here is a closeup of the Lobb vs the 9D AE Hinsdale
