Interesting, I've never knew that until today. I'm going to try your website once I get my wife to trace my foot.UK and US units are 1/3 inch which equals 8.47 mm.
Where did you find this Unit measurement at because I can't find it anywhere?
In the US and Uk systems, the shoe size length changes by 1/3 inch per shoe size and the girth by 1/4 inch per shoe size.
The English system measures sizes in increments of 1/3 inch in length, with half sizes of 1/6 in. The size scale begins at 4 in. in length with size 0. After size 13, which measures 8 1/3 in, the sizing begin again at the next 1/3-in. increment again with 1.

UK 11 corresponds to a Euro 46, so that should work. They're supposed to be snug. However, if they really are as tight as they say, they may stretch the shoe, although that's unlikely.I got two pairs of meermins this week (my third and fourth pair), dark brown quarter brogues on the olfe last and tan country calf longwings on the rui last. I was afraid the sizing would be off on the olfe last, but it seems to work out fine. They are both UK11, and the rui is a bit spacy, but not so much that it's a problem.
But there is another problem: they sent me the wrong shoe trees. They are marked 46/47, whereas my older ones are marked 44/45. They barely fit in the shoes, and getting them in is quite hard. Will this damage the shoes or make them crease weirdly? Or are shoe trees supposed to be a tight fit?
I know there are a lot of AE fans, but even with the upgraded features AE does for Polo (double soles, full insole, dovetail heel) these shoes are barely worth the $140. The fact that some poor saps actually paid the full retail of $525 is cringe inducing.
