Vass Oxblood is Sooooo dark! That looks black.
I'm confused at the idea of P2 being narrower than F! I thought it was the opposite?


Not for me. If you go to No Man's site and look at the bottom sole measurements for their P2 lasted Vass you'll notice that a 41.5 is the same length of a US9.5 tts dress shoe. To get into an Alt Wein I had to go up to a 43 because of how narrow the shoe would fit. I would have more than an inch left in the front and the shoe would break really weird. The F last was definitely wider.

Prurient's is the opposite of my experience with P2 and F. I can wear 45 in both. I'd call the F a shade narrower and a shade longer.

YMMV of course.

Seems as we have a similary shaped foot. I wear UK7,5 in Carmina Rain and EU41,5 in Vass F-last. You should be fine with size EU43.
