I have a pair of Stow's size 81/2 (my US size is 91/2-10) - they fit perfectly
I just got a pair of special Bowoods from Selfridges - sized down to an 8 - not that thrilled as too much heel slippage. The 4444 is a FULL fitting last!
How are oxfords on the 4497 last - do they fit the same as Stow boots? For that matter are there any oxfords made on the 4497 or are they all custom mto's?

By oxford I mean any lace up shoe (I designed shoes for 25 years).By "oxford" do you mean derby or blucher?
The Woodstock and Kendal derbys are standard on the 4497. They fit pretty much the same as Stows.
Is there something wrong with the boots from Sierra Trading Post?Although I'm American, when I hear "Oxford" I take it to mean Balmorals.
I think the only way you're going to get a Bourton on the 4497 is through a MTO.
Also, consider the W2298 last. It's narrower than the 4497 but still has that country bulkiness.
The seemingly endless supply of faux Stows on Sierra Trading Post are on the 2298.

In summary I think that I will most likely be relegated to 4497 lasts - most likely boots. I participated in my first forum mto - the lollipop red Eaton done on the 4497 last. I also communicated with Richard and was somewhat convincing to get him to do the Monkey Boot - which I will also take.
