Working Shoe for Young Exec

[JReminisce]

anybody here has any advice on sizing for loafers?
i'm looking at the herring broadway (028 last) and herring exeter

i tried the loakes at Robinsons and i can only fit into a 10.5F in Loake 747 (3625 last) and 10G in Loake Elland (85 last)

i'll also be getting a pair of herring knightsbridge in 10G, should be able to fit well

I am seeking advice here because I am new to "'proper " shoes. I have emailed robinsonshoes for a sizing and they return me a size of 8 F. Measurement is 27cm for length and circumference is 24cm for each feet. However I have always worn size 10 or on my Pedro 43. I am wary of sizing since I am ordering online although I am prepared for shipping back. Can someone comment on why the sizing I am given is different from my usual sizing.

Thanks for any reply.

For those asking about size, it is best to goto a sports shop to measure your feet size with a brannock device. Then email herring shoes with your feet size. They should then be able to better advise u to take which size for which last.

sz 10 seems unusual for a 27cm long foot following standard sizing.

Your size 10 could be US size which is UK size 9. Make a trip to Robinson Orchard or Raffles city to try out the Loake or Barker shoe sizes and use them as a guage for your size.

Mine is a Custom DarkBrownTwoTone (leather choice), FullWingTipBrogueOxford (shoe style) & DarkBrown HandSewnWelt. Never felt regret spending $ on it from Day 1. My one & only pair of working shoe.

Anyone interested in purchasing Meermin shoes ?

shipping is 1 or 2 pairs for 40Euro and looking for someone to split shipping cost with.

Bah, decided not to go for Meermin after they told me a MTO would take about 3 months to turnaround. Its just one of their standard offerings with a leather sole (instead of standard rubber sole).

FYI: I've bought Allen Edmonds from Amazon instead, they had a 20% off some shoes with code "SHOEJUNE" until 8th of July, and they offer free shipping for Amazon shipped orders above $120?

Picked myself up a pair of Kenilworth for ~SGD$300.

Amazon 20% Off Sale

I am still receiving many PM asking for shoe trees. I will do a final batch for unbranded trees $35, see above. Postage to your address. No collection.

Who is keen? Will only proceed if there is substantial order.

(Those who have reserved trees, we stick to our collection arrangement)

$35 for unbranded ones, might as well get Woodlore from Amazon and get free shipping by consolidating orders above U$125. But remember not to exceed S$400 to avoid GST charges.
