Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

[Mercurio]

I just received a pair of chelseas on the 961 last from Skolyx (great service, by the way). I wear UK7.5F on Loake Capital and 026F lasts, 7.5F on the Cheaney 175 last, and 7.5EE (standard width) in Carmina Rain. The Capital last fits a touch large on my feet but there is no heel slip, and I doubt that I could size down to UK7F on that last. I ordered the Yanko chelsea boots on 961 in UK7 (so 1/2 size down) and they fit perfectly.

Thank you for comparing 261 last with Loake Capital and 026 F last as I have both. In my case, I use 6.5 UK with the 026 but decided to downsize to 6 UK with my Pimlico chukka boots, built in the Capital last. Although they were some kind of tight at the beginning, especially on my small toes, I took them to my cobbler to be stretched a bit and now they are quite comfortable. Nevertheless, I don't know how they would have felt if a had kept the same size than the 026 last...

I am looking for a Chelsea pair of boots and I have the option of the Yanko 915 and the 961 "G" lasts. Even though I like the latter better as it seems you have a more subtle chiseled toe, my doubt is in terms of its width, as I have slim and low instep feet. What would be your opinion in terms of their width?

I have an average width foot with a low instep. I have not tried the 915 last but my impression is that the 961 last is slightly wider than the Capital. If I were you I would suggest trying 6 UK in the Yanko 961 last.

Thank you, that is exactly the size I have been considering.

I would like to have more information on the 970F although the Chelsea is sold out in size 6 UK, as I am considering the chukka model just for using this last: I feel it is a little more rounded, not so chiseled.

Even though the Chelsea is a kind of boot that I don't have, I am a Chukka lover and I would like to taste Yanko instead of the British models.

Tried to take a shot of the firstly worn and polished pair in the rain. Will post better shots when the weather lightens up.

Are you wearing the same size you wear in other brands? I want to order my first Yanko but based on their size guide, my size is one size smaller than my normal size. Is that the case with you?

Can anyone confirm if half sizing down in the 955 last loafers is the right choice? Just ordered a pair online so fingers crossed!

I wear a 7UK on Meermin hiro and ruin, Loake Capital, and Carlos Santos 234.
