[CWV]

Lol. By the time these arrive, it'll be just in time for her birthday/and our dating anniversary.

I'm guessing my wife will want the white/white combo as well.

The sneakers would arrive in April 17, my birthday is April 18

At what width would it be advisable to move up a size?
I'm measuring 26.3 cm long and just under 10 cm wide

 

[ArchibaldRoh]

I apologize for bringing up sizing again, but I'm still somewhat confused. According to the conversion table I would be a 42 based on my measurement. I haven't work a 42 since my feet "grew up" a long time ago. I'm usually a 43 or 44, for example in Butteros. How do Butteros compare? Thanks?

PS I know there's free returns, but of course I would rather avoid that even ifthe savings don't benefit me.

PPS: What about exchanges for the custom

Yes of course we would much prefer you get it right as well!

What are the measurements you are receiving?
Any other guides I could perhaps use? Common Projects, Allen Edmond, Nike etc?

PS: yes that wouldnt be great particularly with the wait.

PPS: no returns or exchanges on the custom unfortunately.

10 cm wide is about 3.9 inches. Was it 26.3 cm standing up and with sock? To be honest 10 cm on a 26.3 cm foot is pretty wide. So I am leaving towards a 41.

Do you by any chance have any other indicators such as Allen Edmond size or common projects or Nike?

Yes, standing with socks. I'm a 41 in CP (40 was too tight). Sounds like I should go with a 41 for the SF-01 too

Yes that makes me confident at a 41

 

[ArchibaldRoh]

Anyone who is unconfident with size or between two sizes with measurement, my suggestion would be to try a pair of Common Project Achilles Low for some piece of mind. The SF-01 has a more spacious fit because of the higher grade leather and difference in design but the soles are the same and it's a great way to get peace of mind.

The pre-orders are open for another 25 days or so, so there is time for a quick try on. Just an idea to again give everyone a little more confidence.

I measured 42.2cm

Crockett& Jones UK 9.5
Vass 43.5
Feit 43
Dinkelacker UK9/43
Weston UK 9 or 9.5 depending on last
Reiter 43

I have one pair of Allen Edmond at home that I don't know but can check in case the listed references don't help.

Thanks!

Sorry but is the measurement correct? 42.2 cm?

I would feel most confident with he Allen Edmonds.

From the shoes it seems you are a 43, but not from a measurement of 42.2 cm.

All black is a classic. I tried avoiding them as I have it in the Ghirlandina but decided they really do fit with just about any work or evening wear.

I know this sounds weird but I was thinking of a black with gum sole as another option.
Black with white also very nice although I think I would prefer that on the v5 Ghirlandina.

Black w/ gum does sounds weird, I was trying to picture it when the custom option came out - it could work.
I was comparing the all black to the v5 Ghirlandina and was feeling the same way. I'll stick with the black/black, I don't think I will regret it and it comes with a size safety net.

42.2cm is what I measure, sitting or standing.

I'll check on the AE, would you go 1:1 there?

That's over 16" and is a massive foot that wouldn't fit in a UK 9 or a 43. Thats my size, and my feet are more like 28cm.

Yes that is why I am a little surprised. Would you by any chance be able to share or DM a picture of how the measurement is taken?

 

[doofalb]

Oops, sorry, I don't know what I was think. In my mind is was 42 or 43? 43 or 42...and I only thought about the .2.
Anyway, it is 27.2

At 42cm it really would have to be a custom

27.2 cm is a firm 42, in fact you have quite the way to go to reach the 43 from a measurement standpoint.

I am just really thrown off as all the other dress shoes are coming in at 43/43.5 so yes the AE would provide a lot more clarity.
If it is an AllenEdmonds US 9/9.5 I would be convinced on the 42.
