I wear size 12.5D or Edward Green 12/12.5E and would like to know if anyone can tell me what size I would be in Vass on the U last. I have heard 46 but am not totally sure. Can anyone with larger feet be of assistance? I have normal arches and am a normal width if that helps.

Thanks!

I'd say 46 or 46.5. If the EG's are pretty snug on you a 46.5 might be a safer bet. If they are somewhat roomy then a 46 would likely be best.

The EGs were tight at first (as expected) then loosened comfortably afterward. I want to get in on this current order but can't seem to definitively nail down my size (not that it can be achieved sending messages online without trying on, I understand).

I take a British 12E on all EG lasts thus far (202, 888, 89, etc.)

Thanks!

You should get 46.5 on U last, that should be a clown shoe alright.

I'd be inclined to do a 46.5 and if they happen to be a bit roomy you can always add a thin Tacco insole which should snug things up a bit.

I'm a U.S. 12D on the EG 888 last and size 46 on the U last

I found the U last at 45.5. to be too small

Would recommend a 46.5 on the U last...especially if you are a U.S. 12.5D on EG's lasts

On a foot that size, I prefer the F, but that is just me

What size do you wear in the F last?
