For purposes of comparison, I wear 11 (44) in Mantellassis, 10E UK in Lobb, 101/2-11 in EG and 101/2 in Santoni FAM. Discount if you buy more than one. All prices shipped in CONUS. No international shipments please.

New Santoni orange sock loafers size 11. They're a little too big for me. They seem to be sized like an FAM (i.e. I should be a 10-1/2 instead of 11). $125

Whole cut FAM Santonis size 11. Bought these "refurbished" from Nordstrom Rack. It looks like they were worn maybe once before I bought them and I've worn them twice. It's too heavy looking of a shoe for me. $195

New Santoni black loafers size 11. I bought these at Nordstrom Rack. The interesting thing about these shoes is that one shoe says "Santoni" the regular way and the other one has the FAM logo but it's pointing the wrong way (sideways). If you look very closely you could convince yourself that the thread colour is different. If this bothers you, don't consider these shoes. $110

Very nice shoes, pity they're too large for me.

I'm a true 11.5D in Ferragamo and pretty consistently an 11.5 throughout. I fear these might be too small.

I have a 11D in Allen Edmonds, but could prolly squeeze into a 10.5 as I have a little room to spare. I have a 11D in JM loafer, prolly Italy made also, a 10.5D was deffo too small. I have another JM 11D, that fits OK around the heel and forefoot but is roomy around the toe box. I have a Testoni 11D, which fits OK around the heel and forefoot, but is narrow at the toes (go figure) and in Europe I used to be a smallish 44, rarely a 43 but that would be tight. Oddly I had a habit of buying too snug in the past. Interested in, eh, well, all really, but would they fit youthinks? Looks to me they just might. Thx, Dolle Dolf

I think all of them would fit except the 11 Santoni brown loafers, they'll be too big. For now, the wholecut santoni and split toe mantellasi are sold.

Doh, those Pradas are a size large (IT 9.5 = US 10.5, correct?). Bummer, I would buy those in a heartbeat.
