i think it depends on the shape of the foot and how they fit the last, i was ok with both being the same size

why i sold my U lasts were i did not like the shape of it

i pretty much prefer the "normal" sole - better balance.

can you confirm that f-last models are available with a standard single or double sole?

I agree. I like the single sole better on my oxfords and now get them exclusively that way. On my derbies I still get the double sole. Single or double are available in F last.
