Just received my shell cordovan wingtip bluchers on the F last! I tried on a pair of calfskin oxfords in the same size and they seem to fit like a glove, whereas my pair seems to fit a touch large. Is this just a matter of breaking in? Either way, certainly not large enough to size down.

Cordovan shoes will almost always run slightly larger than their calfskin counterparts because Cordovan doesnt stretch the way calfskin does. This means that the skin cant be pulled and fitted over the last as tightly and the result is a slightly more voluminous shoe. You could, of course, adjust the last to make up for this variance, but I dont know of any makers currently employing this practice.
Thank you for the explaination, makes sense.
