So, I am considering some Guidis on sale on Farfetch:

Guid Lace Up Boots

What do people think of these as entry point into Guidi?

Regarding size, I am a 10.5 C on Brannock, with low volume feet, low insteps, but long heel-to-ball lengths. Thus, I often end up with shoes that are too short or too wide. I don't mind having extra room in the toes, as long as the balls of my feet line up sort of well.

I hear Guidis run small, so a 44 would be okay? I wear a 9.5E in John Lobb Lopez loafers. I wear a 10 in Viberg 2030 last, where the length is good, but it is a bit roomy on volume. I do pretty well with Allen Edmonds Park Avenues (Shell) in 10D; 10D in Shell AE Leeds and Dundees also works reasonably well.

I know it is up to me to figure out my size, but any tips would be helpful...

Damn, we found the real baller

Are there any different models for L0 derbies or is it just the same shape with different leathers?

Not sure if this post is allowed in this thread, but does anyone know how the sizing is for William Lennon boots (Harnden Combat boot)? Most people online I see say TTS however they're not fashion forums. Someone in this thread said 'down one' though so I'm not sure what to think. Unless that was just meant as down one from US size (since they're in UK sizes).

If I'm not mistaken (and I very well may be), there's two shapes plus one special one for the "handmade" derbies for a total three. Most stores order the sleeker model, but there's also a wider onex
