I received my new Tricker’s today but am unsure about sizing for the Bourton. This Bourton is on the 2298 last but seems a bit loose even when tied as tightly as possible. To be fair my feet have a lower instep and low volume, I believe? UK 8.5 just like my 4497 Stow and Eaton that both fit well.
I have little doubt the 2298 boots would fit me fine, but I’m not sure what the solution is on the 2298 Bourton. Just get used to the loose loafer-like fit? Tongue pads? Go down 1/2 size? Or say that the 2298 Bourton just doesn’t work for me. I get that the heel slip may be reduced after breaking in the soles but am also concerned that the CXL stretching and breaking in could counteract that.
I am curious whether I would have these same issues with a 4444 last Bourton. Anyone know? I know to size down to a UK 8 for the 4444 last, but I’m not sure how the instep and overall fit would compare.
