Don't think so.... I am normally a UK 10 and the only option is this loafer which suits me because I wanted to get a pair of loafers for some time now. Yanko lasts seems to be quite generous for me to fit a 9.5 UK though.
i see. Anymore UK 9.5 yanko loafers? how much is it going for?
Think that was the last pair but I didn't look very closely. Got it for $298. Think the sale is only for today.
ok will do

Did it at soleman, One Raffles Place. Think was $25 for rubber heel replacement. Decent work quality

Depending on your budget - there are a few in Millennia Walk that could work such as Vincitore Shoes. Not bad pricing and good quality. Check it out bruv!

Changing the heel is a relatively simple process. The replacement heel blocks come ready made so it's just a matter of removing the worn heel block and adjusting for any uneveness before installing the new heel block and trimming it to size. Since you mentioned that you have eaten past the rubber portion of the heel, it's important to use a filling material to even the heel.
My heel replacements costs $20 per pair.

If this is the Elland, it's corrected grain, so unfortunately cannot polish - it will also over time 'tear' at the folds, I've (unfortunately) come to learn.

Posing a question to those familiar with Enzo Bonafe's construction and blake stitch construction:
On EB's website looking through their product details, there is mention of blake 2-a/b/c and 3-a construction. Would anyone know what is the difference between the numbers and alphabets?
Is there a need for the use of a welt in the blake stitch construction? And for EB's blake construction, which part of the process is done by hand. Would it be both hand lasted and hand stitched (is there such a thing as doing a blake stitch by hand or are all blake stitched shoes done using a machine)?
