Is the Yanko 919 last a retailer specific last?

I just ordered a pair of Yanko Navy suede tassel loafers from El Cortes at a ridiculous price and according to Patine, that’s a 919.

Understand the loafers are either in 915 or 955.

Have had these for a few months now, really pleased with the quality. In addition to these, I own AE, Meermin, and Loake 1880, and these Yanko are the clear winners. Shame that they seem to be falling out of favor at the retailers.
I got these from Skolyx. What a great team/retailer. They put up with my excessive sizing questions and were a breeze to work with. Very happy in all regards.

do Yanko offer lasted shoe-trees? I have recently bought a pair of black oxfords on 962 last, breaking them in now, and looking for shoe-trees. neither Skolyx nor Patine seem to have them.

Not right now, our split toe ones works great with 962 though.

link please? also, what will be sizing guidelines?

size down 0,5-1 size. For example for uk7,5 and uk8 choose size eu41 on the Shoe trees. For 8,5 and 9 size 42 and so on.

Hey everyone,

I am planning to get some new Yanko chelsea boots, but am still concerned about the sizing. The following two shoes fit me comfortably:

Carlos Sanots Jumper Boots - 234 F - UK 7.5
Meermin Oxfords - Hiro (F) - UK 8

My feet measure as follows (largest width and length taken):
length - 272mm
girth - 263mm (standing) / 248mm (feet in air)

It is suggested to size down by 0.5 from the Hiro last, so that would make a UK 7.5.
I am considering the 915 F and 961 G last, but am still not sure which one to choose as my right foot suffers from halux valgus and too tight shoes cause severe pain after less than an hour walking.
Any suggestions are welcome :)

Cheers!

Hi! Would recomend 915, its a bit roomier than 961 in the front since 961 is more chisseled. And definitely size down from Hiro :)
