Depends on the last. If you have narrow feet you should probably avoid 202 last.
Not, not in my experience. That's why I recommended UK9. I'm a UK9 standard and take UK9.5 in EG
Ah, really? So, my TTS is more like a 9UK narrow. Should I sign up in the list for 8.5UK then?

I'd actually say it may depend on the last. The 202 & 64 lasts are pretty high volume. The 82 last is probably a safe bet though. Others will know better... I only own 2 pairs of EGs.

I wouldn’t say EG run narrow, but they do run a little smaller than most Northampton makers for a given size, more so for older pairs (pre 100k serial numbers) than newer pairs.

There's another sizing factor here. Some of the boxes look
like they have the old EG logo, so it's possible that some
of the shoes are on the old wooden lasts.

About 6 years ago EG switched from using wooden lasts
to resin lasts. The found that their wooden lasts had shrunk
over the years. The new resin lasts seem to have more volume.

For me, I went from a size 10 UK/10.5 US on the old lasts
to a size 9.5 UK/10 US on the new resin lasts. Other people
have indicated the difference isn't sufficient for them to change
sizes.
