I have 3 pair of Coniston in 325 (black, tan and brown all in Scotch Grain) and 2 pair of Islay. Both in 7.5E. The Islay has much more room all around and I have to wear thick socks. The Coniston for me is a snug fit and I can wear it with thinner socks as well, with the Islay I can not. For some reason the Coniston in tan do feel sturdier/narower on the foot as the other ones, the leather feels thicker. The black Coniston feel the most "loose". As a side note: I also have a pair of black Skye in 335 in 7.5E and they are more ore less in between size wise.
Thanks to all for the helpful info. I also have the black R/O Conistons in 7.5E. With time, they have conformed to my feet and the tightness in the forefoot has subsided, but took some work. It's a thinner sock boot for me and I'd do an an 8E next time. Just trying to decide whether the Islay should be a 7.5 or 8. I'm quite happy with my Moltons in an 8E, which is on the 336 and I believe considered roomier than the 325 in the forefoot.
