I own the Nico Nerini Wingtip oxfords and was wondering if I need to upsize the boots by half a size if I want to wear thicker socks with them. Can someone advise? Thanks so much!
Psionman155I always do that regardless of the brand/make/last. Half a size up in boots is (in my humble opinion) a good move to be able to get in and out a bit more easily and wear thicker socks during the colder months. I happen to be between sizes myself (9.5 - 10) so going with the 10 would be what i'd do.
Hope that helps! I'll let other folks chime in.
Psionman155I would still order the same size. Shoemakers usually use lasts that are roomier for boots. I sometimes have to downsize by half size with AE and Rider boots, since most of their boot lasts have generous toe box, and I have no problem wearing winter wool socks.
