@smittycl , in Europe AS shoes were available through several British retailers.
I bought all my five pairs from A Fine Pair of Shoes, whose service I can only commend and at the time offered a 10% discount to SF members.
Sizing was quite easy too, and I found them true to size even for my wideish UK10.5 feet in all the three lasts I own (87, 109 and 724).
I understand that you want to try the shoes in person though, and this would have been a problem as AS wasn't well represented around. Until now I've been lucky with my online purchases but admittedly it may be risky with all the fees and taxes involved in sending items back and forth.
With Brexit I myself have almost quit buying from Britain.
