Hi Guys,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...STRK:MESELX:IT
I am having a crisis of confidence over the sizing of this shoe I have just listed on eBay. It is a C & J made shoe on the 240 last that has been resocked. Almost certainly it is a Peal & Co for Brooks Brothers.
I made the decision to list these as UK 9.5 D because the insole bears the imprint ' 9 1/2 4' with 4 being the fitting. As these are english made using english components, I presume the 4 fitting to be an English 'D' fit.... 95 % of the shoes that pass through me are E fit and have a 5 on the insole to reflect this.
However a Styleforum member has contacted me to suggest I am in error. He states that as the shoe has 9 1/2 D pen written on the inside of the shoe it is indeed an American 9 1/2 D and that all his US 9 D shoes made by C & J have '4' on the insole anyway.
I was both thrown and surprised by this and regret dabbling with bloody 'D' fitting shoes ( nice that they are
)
Please could someone throw some light on this.... have I listed a UK 9.5D or a US 9.5 D
A quick response would allow me to revise or scrap the listing.
Regards,
Graham
