I agree. I would say they're true to size - perhaps even a quarter size big - but definitely on the narrow end of the spectrum.

I wear a D width for EG lasts 202, 606, and 89 but require an E width for any of the loafer lasts.

These shoes are awesome. If these are still available from the seller and in your size, you're crazy not to jump on them.

yes they are a bit narrow, i bought them last year during the big polo sale in my true 9.5 size and sold them recently on ebay. I then picked up another pair from GVH in a 10 during the recent ebay run and they fit much better. There still narrow to the point that i can't walk around in them all day but there tollerable now. I would size up by a half or full size on these.

These shoes are so small! I received my pair from the polo sale yesterday and I wear either a 9.5E or a 10E in all the EG lasts. The Barksdale in UK10E is impossible to wear for me... This is really odd to find such inconsistencies in sizing for the same company. These shoes are going back
