Typical advice you find online says one should take .5 to 1 size down when going from true size to Ferragamo sizing, when purchasing mocs, loafers or drivers.
Recently I bought a pair of Ferragamo drivers.
In most AE sizes I take a 9. In my unlined Alden for BB Shell LHRs I took an 8.5. These I bought in an 8. They're breaking in nicely and are comfortable- if a bit snug on my wider foot. Seem like really the perfect fit lengthwise, according to traditional, western standards.
HOWEVER. I've heard that due to the relative fragility of the front part of the toebox in drivers and some mocs, it's advisable to err on the side of slightly-too-long. The idea is that a longer, curved toebox leads to fewer scuffs.
Does anyone have opinions on this matter?
