You mean you have an order on the way? If you can still change the size, you're welcome to try out my pair.

Even better if you're interested to buy it from me...

Ya, got one order on the way. The rapello suede string loafer in Ron.

Very nice.. The patina looked as good as the G&G st James in pearl grey. Maybe I should get a pair in adelaides...

Just a quick question regarding Loake last sizing.

Currently I am wearing Capital last UK 8, if I would get a pair of boots in Pennine last based on the description I should be getting UK 7.5.

Any advice on this?

Thanks!

Why are you sizing down?

I find that for boots, the fit is fine even if you take 1/2 size too big because of the shoe laces will still hold your boot to your foot.

Cause I read the different last mentioning capital is standard last in F width. Whereas Pennine last is country style in G width which they highly suggest you get half size down. So now a bit dilemma haha.

By the way I have great fit in capital last UK8.

I think after a couple of mistakes with sizing. When in doubt, go a half size up....
You can at least wear your shoes if they are a bit big. You cannot wear your shoes if they are a little small.

I usually take UK 7.5 and have a wider (but not quite G-width) foot, but the Pennine in UK 7 was still so generous I had to wear thick "mountain" socks.

Are you looking at the Bedale? What about the Burford?

That's the same train of thought I have in mind also. But the dilemma is I heard it's really generous fitting for Pennine last.

And when wearing my Capital last shoes with good fit, I'm already wearing thick darn tough socks haha!

So it's going go be hard if the boots is too big, with only option of inserting insole which I would like to avoid.

Yes I'm looking at the Bedale!

Seems like you are in about the same situation.

The Bedale is nice, liked them a lot but sold because I didn't want to keep wearing the mountain socks. If you google "Loake Bedale review" you can see some pictures I took (can't post a link yet).

It's not just wide, but high-volume. Because I have a low-ish instep the facings came quite close together.

I can understand your dilemma. I have fitted shoes in person (by expert), bought it and walked away in it feeling good. Next time, i wore the same shoes, blister like hell.

I also have shoes which fit better at night which i cannot wear in the morning (too damn tight).

You have to understand your feet, I guess.

That sounds great to me.
I'm not sure I'm high or normal instep, but the wolverine 1000 mile seems normal or low volume which is a bit of uncomfortable for me (in compared to Red Wing 875).

Looking to sell my Wolverine and get the Loake Bedale instead.

Hmm that's odd, always thought your feet were bigger in the evenings!

Yeah I prefer boots more!
But actually at the moment, I have 2 pairs of dress shoes and 2 pairs of boots.

Loake Strand
Loake Cannon
Red Wing 875
Wolverine 1000 Mile Centennial (looking to sell this one as the fit is not good)

Not sure anyone will be interested to get that off from me.
