Anyone with 804 sizing experience? I really like that black captoe GMTO in that last.

It's an elongated almond toe last. I still size it the same way as my other EB's

Like @jischwar said. I know some guys here size down 0.5 but to me the elongated shape is mostly aesthetic and I wear the same size as for other Bonafés.

Wears very slightly large, but not large enough that I'd want to size down.

You cannot go wrong with this shoe. Seven years later and it is still holding true. I went with my normal bonafe sizing.

Took my Löf & Tung Cole chukkas in Utah calf out for the season. When I got them last year my right foot felt a bit pinched, but it went away with wear. When I took them on again two weeks ago the pinch was worse than when they were new. Wide flat bony feet, sigh... First thought I'd give them away to a buddy, but changed my mind and took them to the cobbler to see if he could stretch them a bit. Voila! Much better! As long as I stick to thin wool socks I'll be fine in these. Great boots! But damn do I wish there were more options on the market for wide-feeted flatfoot oafs like myself.

Hello. Can you compare the T and P lasts? Interested in width, instep, heel

I can't, no. Just looking at pics of models in the P last tells me they'd be a dreadful fit for me.

I don´t know if you guys have the same weather as we have in Stockholm at the moment (guess not) but anyway we just restocked som L&T boots: https://www.skoaktiebolaget.com/collections/new-arrivals

Also the black single monk and black zip boot GMTO´s are in transit from Bologna now.

Any recommendations for sizing when dealing with shearling lining? I was looking at the new Champlain in mahogany. The one shearling boot I have, I had to go up a full size to make it work.

Half a size use to be enough for the champlain.

I have the same issue with mine, although mine are in suede rather than calf. My left pinky toe is where it'll pinch and i've been using those wooden shoe stretchers where you twist the middle. It hasn't been the most effective stretch to be honest, no matter how long it's stayed in and twisted to the max.

Would you say the cobbler was able to stretch it up 1 size width?

More like half a size. But this is utah calf from Haas, perhaps suede can be stretched a tiny bit more.

If have the Clark with shearling lining from two years ago, and I have the same size (7UK) as pretty much all my other shoes.
