Now that the pavement has dried in Seattle, I had the opportunity to take my leather-soled cigar captoes out for a spin. These were another exception to my "enjoy what's in your closet" resolution last year, but in my defense the seller made me an offer I couldn't refuse. In the right light the olive undertones really come out, and you can sort of see a hint of old bronze in there.

Similar situation with narrow heel and low instep. I once tried a handful of sizes and widths of the snuff LHS at Alden SF and was told the last does not work for me. I’ve tried and failed on loafers too many times, moved on to mostly boots and bluchers because fit is king. No need to force it.Could use some help on loafer sizing. I have low volume feet - narrow heels and low instep in particular relative to the length - that make loafers difficult to size. Basically, any shoe that is long enough is going to be too big in almost every other dimension. This isn't too much of an issue with anything that I can tighten with laces, but makes loafers tricky. I have a pair of Oak Street loafers (9D) that have four layers of tongue pads and a heel pad and then only with socks can I get by without too much heel slippage.
I had my feet measured with a Volumental scanner at a running shop (which is pretty cool), and it showed me that I wasn't crazy in feeling that I was having a hard time finding a loafer.
I've attached the results of that scan. If anyone here has enough knowledge to deduce what size would work best, I would very much appreciate it. I like the LHS suede loafer (I think it is good for low insteps?), but I guess if there's a better option out there, I'm open to something else if it would work better.
Thanks
Van last can be tricky. I have pretty similair feet as yours, low instep, narrow heel, etc. I have tried multiple different sizes in van, and found that 9C works pretty well (I am a low volume 9.5D on brannock.) While initially slightly snug in the instep, the suede loosens up nicely.Could use some help on loafer sizing.

I expect that an Alden loafer size 10B will provide you a proper fit.Could use some help on loafer sizing.
