To complicate things, I take US9D in Alden LHS and UK8.5E in C&J Harvard (both cordovan). That means I size down 0.5 in the Alden loafer (Van last) but take the Harvard (314 last) in my usual C&J size. I take 325, 335 and 341 all in UK8.5E.
I think C&J’s advice is to go down 0.5 on the Harvard but personally I would not recommend that. Half a size down would have been too tight for my feet. If anything, the Harvard in UK8.5E feels a tiny bit tighter than Alden LHS in US9D.
But loafers can be tricky to size so absolutely best if one can try them on before buying.
Thanks. Think I'm ok with a uk10 in harvard. Tight but acceptable in some spots and a bit loose in others, though still breaking them in. Maybe can get away with a uk9.5 in the LHS as they seem wider.
