Do the Finger and Thumb test behind the heels - if you can squeeze your thumb, then it's probably to big length wise....

You should not be able to stick your finger easily in the shoes behind the heel, this is a sign of a shoe that's too big.Do the Finger and Thumb test behind the heels - if you can squeeze your thumb, then it's probably to big length wise....

I highly doubt they know what is fit....BeS, I have seen people who can easily fit 2 thumbs behind their heels and adamant their shoes "fits" perfectly ;-)

It's too big if you can stick either a finger or a thumb behind the heels. Lacing completely closed means the shoes instep is too high, width too wide, length too long, or any combination of the above.Do the Finger and Thumb test behind the heels - if you can squeeze your thumb, then it's probably to big length wise....

Thanks all for feedback and opinions - I've checked them out again and they're too big. There's me jumping the gun thinking they were a good fit.
Wurger - I decided on trying 40.5 after extensive research on here and other forums, it's really hard to nail sizing over the internet without access to actually trying pairs on - I've also experienced this with other brands.
To the guy that said from thrilled to gutted - it's an anti-climax indeed but I've learnt patience is the key especially with artisan/handmade products.
Here's to another 6-8 weeks of thumb twiddling and watching paint dry
Now the thing is - the general opinion it seems is half sizing up for U/K lasts - so do I stick with 40.5 now based on my current experience with the F last!?
llovelobbs - I know you recommended staying with the same size for U/K as the F...
