Please Help - Lobb 1105 Last Compared to CJ/EG Lasts.

[sf_esq]

Fellas, I've done some research, but as I'm a relative newcomer to the world of high quality shoes, I'm trying to figure out whether the Lobb 1105 last would fit me. I find the CJ 348 last very comfortable, but cannot wear the CJ 337 last. I also find the EG 888 last comfortable, but cannot wear the EG 202 last. I wear the same size in the CJ 348 and EG 888 lasts. Would I find the JL 1105 last too wide (as I do the CJ 337 and EG 202 lasts), and if not, would I wear the same size in the 1105 last as I do in the CJ 348 and EG 888 lasts? Thank you in advance, it's challenging to keep all these lasts straight.

I think if you find the EG 202 and the CJ 337 lasts to be too wide, the 1105 would probably be too wide for you.

I've got shoes in both the JL 1105 and EG 202. Whilst the 202 is snug, I wear the same size in both without issue.

Thank you for the feedback. That was my concern. The CJ 337 and EG 202 are quite spacious throughout. If they were that wide at the widest point, I would probably be able to wear it, but I find that the entire shoe is quite roomy.

Thanks. Interesting. The EG 202 appears to be slightly roomier in the toe box than the JL 1105, which seems to taper slightly more at the toe. I wouldnt' have guessed that the EG 202 would be more snug.

i find the 1105 run-of-the-mill in its wideness/narrowness. it should fit most avg feet because it is a very neutral looking round toe last.

For me the CJ 337 is a bit too snug at the pinky toe, but the JL 1105 fits great, if not a smidge too wide.

Thank you all. It doesn't sound promising.

On a side note, do most of you wear the same size in the 1105 as you do on the 8000? Or do you size up for the 1105? Thanks.
