Got my shell darltons and had a chance to try them today, penny loafers and wingtips fit fine, the tassels don't fit well and I don't really like the shape of them so will be swapping them for PTBs sometime this week.


I've always wondered this, do the Pennies and the Wingtips fit exactly the same? Same last?

I don't think wingtips and pennies are on the same last. My size in pennies is 11.5 whereas in wing tips it is 11.The double sole takes a minute to break in..

I know for a fact that the wingtip is built on the 325 last. I don't own the penny loafers but I've tried them on a few times. They're not on the 325. It looks like they 314 but I can't be sure. If you email C&J with the markings inside your shoe they'll tell you the last and the actual UK size.

I never knew. I always just assumed. I better do some more research before I buy then! The 8.5 Marlow/Darlton Wingtips are a perfect fit
 

Thanks SF (a new me)

I'm thinking of doing something similar - trading the loafers for a pair of PTBs. Do you think they will let you do this in store?
TIA

Don't see why not,although I've been wearing the tassels at the office today and they are growing on me so I may keep them.
