similar.... see my exceptions above.... but the best is to try them on, these damn shoes have to fit.... That's why I do prefer buying from JS to online shopping!

Some specifics here too:

I'm training the waist down, it's now half way between 33 & 32".
Shoes are medium width (US 8.5 D). Usually.

No. Always U.K 7 and U.S 8 for me. Then again my feet are alittle wide and my left foot is about .25 of a size longer so l usually need to size up one full size. l would imagine people with narrower feet wouldn't have so much of a problem with only going up .5

Experts shouldn't be giving such advice as set facts, all feet are different and sizing can vary from person to person. This is something many on the forums don't understand. The sizing advice topics are simply crazy, they are far oversimplified and people get their size wrong as a result. So much is involved in evaluating the correct size, it's abit of an artform to be able to get it right.

Re: The Measure Of A Man...

I've never bought a pair of shoes online or off, new or used, that didn't fit fine straight off. I must have rubber feet smile

Am I just imagining that new shoe sizing is often all over the shop now? Two recent shop-bought pairs have been UK size sevens.

You're very lucky.

lt's hard to say. Companies are always introducing new styles on different lasts but many older lasts have been taken away. l really think it depends on the shoe company and their strategies. 

or are you referring to the inconsistancy of sizing between various shoe maker factories?

Just a deserved little bump for this thread, Weejunaires and Weejunettes.

Anyone had any luck with it yet?

Re: The Measure Of A Man...

I can't remember if I posted on here before:

Quite young, slim and tall myself, so looking for perhaps slimmer cut shirts than some of the older guys on here with similar sizes:

15.5 neck
35 arm

Looking for all kinds of OCBDs, white, blue, bleeding madras, (red?).

Also, for the summer months some madras shorts would be good, waist 32/3 ish

Cheers

They are more structured that you think. Try one of the innumerable J PRess stores in Japan, or the non-corporate retailers in Japan (also innumerable).
