I’ve never owned a pair of horsebit loafers but got the itch earlier this year and finally pulled the trigger. I’ve also wanted to explore Oak Street’s offerings and really liked the variety of loafers/mocs. I’m a sucker for overdyed/teacore, so this purchase was as natural as it gets.
How I sized
555 Last: 10US Men's Brannock: 10.5E HTB/10 HTT
r/goodyearwelt, mostly - but also kind of a hunch that down 0.5 wouldn’t work for me and at least at first slip-on today am very glad I got these in a 10 and not the “recommended” 9.5. They feel pretty tight but I’m sure will form to my feet.
