    Another Spanish Shoe brand - Yanko

    @Betelgeuse is correct: Sizeadvisors has not many ratings for Yanko shoes yet. Those that it does have are on the 915 last. And some are made for the EU system which complicates things. Anyway, be aware that there are different approaches to foot measurement: Sizeadvisors doesn't use a diagonal...

    Introducing Sizeadvisor.com: Find shoes that fit

    > 5500 ratings. If would have been helpful if you'd described what part of Sizeadvieos confuses you. Alternatively, you can describe what you expect to see after you logged into Sizeadvisors. Send me a PM if you like. Sorry for the late reply, btw. :blush:

    Introducing Sizeadvisor.com: Find shoes that fit

    Another Update: Sizeadvisors has now reached 4,600 ratings. There also have been some changes to the software, mostly of a technical nature, though. This will make maintenance and the upload of new features a bit easier. There's also a small change in the user interface, but nothing too...

    Introducing Sizeadvisor.com: Find shoes that fit

    More than 3,700 ratings now. Some additional news: We've switched to Allen Edmonds' latest last designations. Sizeadvisors now also uses the latest last designations by Allen Edmonds. For instance, the 5-65 last is now called 65 last, to be in sync with AE's website. Ratings and...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

     If you've mentioned this earlier, the discussion could have been prevented. Note that I didn't say you're wrong. I didn't even say I am right. I merely transmitted some information to the OP with the explicit note that I have no information about other sizes. We could have also saved some...

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

     It's quite normal that two people can have different experiences and opinions about the relative fit of two lasts (including width). To quote you: So, how do you know that your experience is a better predictor than another man's experience?

    LOAKE APPRECIATION THREAD

     According to the data available at Sizeadvisors: Going up half a size would work, but the fit will not be as good, if the Capitel last in F fits very well (ie. 4 out of 4 stars). There's no information when happens when using the same size. Hope this helps.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     No offence, but you shouldn't compare yourself to others. With a foot length of 263mm, your reference size are UK 8 and US 9. This means, the sizes of your shoes should be as close as possible to these reference sizes. Otherwise you don't have enough toe room. The common recommendation is...

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     Stand upright. Measure from the back of the heel to the tip of the longest toe. That's it, basically. So, you either need someone to help you, or you build a kind a measurement devise yourself. It's not that complicated: Two pieces of paper, a measurement tape, and a pencil.

    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

     It is quite common for people with wide feet to order larger sizes (and thus longer shoes) compared to what they should wear given their foot length. For example, with a foot length of 272 mm, your reference size is UK 9 / US 10. As you can see, your AE are already half a size longer than...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

     Generally speaking, the US and UK sizing systems work by (1) turning your foot length into shoe sizes, and (2) then add a special number. That special number used to be the allowance - the space between your toes and the tip of the shoe. The meaning got a little bit lost when shoe making...
