Sizing Question Lobb 8605 Last

Hey,

Am looking at a Lobb on line, 8605 last, and could use some sizing advice.

I wear a UK 9.5 in most of my English shoes ( EG - 82/888, C&J 337, Peals etc)

Have gone with a UK 9 in Lobb 7000/8000 however - the one 9.5 I have in 7000 has required a tongue pad for a good fit.

What should I take in the 8605? I suspect a 9.5 as from what I understand the 7000/8000 are unusual in that they require you tio size down.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

A classic round toe last like 202, I would recommend taking the same size in 8605.

Thanks,

So go with the 9.5 as opposed to the 9 I wear in the 8000?

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
