Woodlore Epic (euro style) shoe tree sizing help. what the...????

[suitntieguy]

So according to the Woodlore sizing chart, specific for the epic style, a 10 1/2 triple E matches to a medium. I ordered the medium weight too small. After speaking with customer service I went with an extra large. Even the extra larges are way too small. They do not come close to reaching the sides of the shoe and stop at least an inch and a half from the toe. And my missing something here?

The Epic tree might not have sufficient width to fill a EEE. You might find better luck with split toe trees that widen more. In regards to the toe, unless you get lasted trees, you're not going to find generic ones that will fill the toebox (but they should be close though and 1.5 inches does seem quite a fair amount of room unless you have elongated shoes). Personally, I'm more concerned about adequate tension in the flex area/vamp. The toe is typically stiff enough that it doesn't really need filling (others can chime in if I'm wrong in my assumption).

For my US 7 D size, the XS is great. It provides tension in the areas I mentioned. Maybe Epics are not ideal for extra x3 widths?
