Perhaps a ridiculous question but here I go.
There are many threads that discuss the fit of Edward Green shoes. The consensus is that a snug fit is the proper fit. My first purchase of EG shoes was a Berkeley E width on the 606 last ( I am an E in US size). It took a number of wearings for the shoes to break in and be. Even after numerous wearings, they are comfortable but snug (especially in the instep). I make sure I only wear thin socks.
I recently ordered shoe on the 888 last (Canterbury). The Beaulieu I craved was only available in E width. This time I ordered it with the F width. It just arrived today and it fits perfectly right out of the box.
I know I should be overjoyed. However, when this shoe breaks in, will it be then become too big? I feel like there is an expectation that EG shoes require a break-in period.
This forum has taught me so much. But have I gone over the edge??
