Brovsko submitted a new listing:

Löf & Tung "Alvares" Tassel Loafer in Chestnut Calf Size UK 8.5 (fits like UK 9) - Löf & Tung Tassel Loafers from Skoaktiebolaget, very slightly used - worn 3x

Selling my pair of Löf & Tung Alvares Tassel Loafers from Skoaktiebolaget. These were purchased in my usual size UK 8.5 but fit a bit too roomy for my liking due to the generous instep. Looking to send them off to a good home. They have been worn no more than 3x. I've already had rubber sole guards (topys) installed on them so that's another $30-35 savings. Addition photos available upon request.

Too long or too wide in toebox, too wide in heel?

@clee1982 - I would say the heel fit just fine but the toebox was wider than I like for a pair of loafers right out of the box. Also, I found the toebox taller and the instep higher than other loafers I own in the same size. Overall, to me these fit half a size large. In fact, I will probably be repurchasing this model in a UK 8 in the future. For reference, here is my sizing in other brands/lasts:

Meermin Hiro - UK 8.5
Meermin Olfe - UK 8.5
Meermin Ron - UK 8.5
Carmina Rain - UK 8.5
Carmina Soller - UK 8.5
Carmina Uetam - UK 8.5
Vass U Last - UK 8.5
Vass F Last - UK 8.5
JFitzpatrick Oxfords - UK 8
JFitzpatrick Loafers - UK 8.5

Hope that helps!

If I'm reading correctly, you'd place these in line with the Carmina Uetam last size 9 UK (10 US) = 43?

Sorry for the late reply. I would say yes, these fit 1/2 size large.
