I received the Superdenim brown CXL derbies on the 1035 last today, size 8-1/2. For comparison, I have a size 9 in a derby on the 2045 and it's a little loose. I wanted to be able to wear the brown derbies with my thinnest socks. Unfortunately, they're too tight through the vamp/toebox, and I don't think it's just a matter of the size. It seems the 1035 (and by extension, the 2030) last just doesn't suit me. I'm a 10D on the Brannock but with a very high volume instep.
Honestly I could probably make them work with a little stretching but seeing the shoes in person I'm a bit ambivalent towards how they look. The color is a bit darker than what I was looking for, and I think they'd look better with blind eyelets.
