They run right for me. Half a size up they crushed my ball and arch at the end. I wear 8.5 in mecc chisel 2, stefano bemer etc but 8 in Carmina Crockett and Jones etc

So, I think what we have done for Yearn since around your pair is to adjust the sizing so that they fit TTS. So, all Yearn shoes now fit TTS, since about Dec/Jan

Here is Arterton's Last Guide on Yearn Shoemaker

G&G TG73 and Yearn Shoemaker Y07
There are, indeed, some similarities between these two lasts. But I would say that the primary difference is that Y07 has a different angle at the toe. It's a bit steeper on the Y07. See the below images:

Yeah, I think that was around the turning point -- we basically revised it for the Western market and tried to keep things simple by having all the shoes TTS. I think I mentioned this briefly on the Arterton thread a while back.

Our feedback as of late has been that they are TTS. Anyways, I hope this doesn't confuse people. So, the consensus now is that Yearn is TTS.

P.S. I saw your "becoming a master shoemaker journey" post on Reddit. Well done.
