Does anyone own any loafers on the 100 last? If so, do you find it to be incredibly narrow? And does anyone know how it compares to the 184 last?
I have three loafers on the 100 last and once owned a loafer on the 184 last. I have wide feet and found the 184 last too narrow and pointy for comfort in the F fit. The 100 last is a good fit for me also in F fit - certainly much comfier than the 184 - it has a soft chisel toe.

I find the 184 last fine but 100 felt too small overall in the one pair I had. Both were E width.

I have shoes both on 100 and 184 lasts. 100 is a soft chisel toe and 184 is round not too pointy. Both have very different looks.

As for the fit, 100 is a tighter overall fit, especially the instep is quite uncomfortably low to begin with. After breaking in it is fine.
