I thought G&G standard width was E and not D. This probably the explanation for the tightness. And yes, they are UK size labeled.
Have you tried wearing a wet sock to stretch shoes? I think it helps the shoe conform to the shape of your foot. http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...5&postcount=13
Have you tried wearing a wet sock to stretch shoes? I think it helps the shoe conform to the shape of your foot.
Eh, you are somewhat right... for example, I wear a 9F or 9.5E. They both fit me fine, and I am a US10D. Presumably a 10D would 'work' for me. My advice--wear them a few more times before doing anything drastic! Except for the amputations, that sounds reasonable.
Who really needs a pinky toe, anyhow?
Exactly, purely aesthetic. I would not worry though Spoo, it took me a while for my G&Gs to fit properly, but now they wear very nicely. They crease a bit for a wholecut, but that has to be expected with a less-than-perfect fit. My damn big toes are the bane of my existence.
Thanks for the advice man. So you are a standard 1/2 US size bigger than me - what lasts are you taking a 9 and which ones are you taking a 9.5 in?
Those are very nice looking Spoo. I ordered the same ones in brown suede at a G&G trunk show here in SF. I could never get mine to fit and at the suggestion of G&G returned them. They were far too tight across my instep. I tried stretching them with Lobb EE show trees and that didn't do it. I've never had this problem before with any other premium shoe. But everyone else I know seems to love how their G&G's fit. Perhaps your just need a bit of a break in.
Thank you! But the bolded part - they let you return them AFTER you wore them a few times?
