Traveler Penny

Alexander LAST

The Alexander last fits half a size full in length and width, same as the Leo. Most customers will go down half a size from their average sneaker or dress shoe size (Brannock).
Since this is a non-lace pattern, the instep will be the most critical factor in holding the foot in place. If you have a low instep, consider going down a full size. If you find wide lasts to be most comfortable, consider an E width to increase the instep and ball area volume.

Slightly tight on the instep on the first few wears, but this was understandable given the shape of my feet. Fit becomes very good with no heel slip as my foot expands during the day.

Very comfortable from the get-go. As they've loosened up the fit has gotten just a little looser as well. Almost have to wear socks with these as a result.

Easy break-in, incredible finish for seconds, slightly tight in the vamp - but I think that has to do with me sizing down a half from Brannock.

I had a little issue with the instep initially, but the leather has started to soften. My Brannok size is 7 wide but I went down half a size for the loafer. At the end of the day, the loafer starts to hurt a little but I have only had them for a month, so I imagine the soreness will go after more wear. These loafers are beautifully made and get compliments all the time.

Purchased barely used. Was slightly stretched in the in-step by a cobbler and took a little while to break in but broke in nicely. Ample toe room, basically an EE-width at the toes but the instep can be tight for those with high volume feet. GS leather soles are a bit stiffer than others.

I can wear both the 10.5D and 11D but prefer the 11D. It's more casual, easier to slide on and off. Feels the best after wearing for a few weeks, once it is broken in.

Bought as B-grades, thought it would be ok to go full down from brannock as I was led to believe Alexander last was roomiest of their lasts. This was wrong, go half down as their sizing recommendation suggests. Full down is snug and fits ok, but instep is painful, have had instep stretched and can now wear barefoot or with very thin socks. Wish I would have held up on the B-grades though and gotten correct size.

These shoes in 9.5E are really quite wide, and a bit wider than I need. However, while perhaps 9.5D may fit me more precisely width-wise, the instep on 9.5E fits me perfectly, so 9.5D might not work for me. In general, I find the instep on Grant Stone shoes/boots to be a little more snug than on some other brands, at least on the Alexander and Leo lasts.

These were a pain to break in, especially around the instep. I’m a 9D US on the Brannock device, and considering I like a snug fit with loafers, I took an 8D in these. Being fully lined, these are very stiff from the get go, which results in a difficult break in, especially around the instep. It took a solid 3 weeks to make these comfortable, but now I can wear them with no pain. I’d recommend sizing down a half size from your Brannock to avoid the horrendous break in experience I had.

Oh how difficult it was to find this fit. I had quite a few pairs of grant stone boots and shoes before getting the loafers (I now have more of their loafers than boots or derby’s) but my high instep made finding this perfect size elusive. 11E was too big for me in their boots even with thicker socks so I was hesitant to go here for the loafers which I would be wearing with thin or no show socks. Sure enough, 11E it was. Now I have 6 pairs of these loafers—love them.

Beautiful shoe; the bourbon suede is the perfect color to be worn both casually and dressed up. I sized these down a bit to aggressively so they're a little short and snug on my foot.

I have wide (E-EE), short heel to toe with .5 (right foot ) & 1.5 (left foot) size longer arch length on brannock device, high arch and instep volume, and Morton's Toe. I fit best with the longer arch length and wider of heel to toe so 8.5E /EE or 9E/EE for athletic shoes. Worn barefoot: Length too long with feet sliding back and forth causing major heel slip. Vamp and toebox width a little wide. Instep volume is loose with feet locked back in heel. Worn with thin socks: Length too long with feet sliding back and forth causing major heel slip. Vamp and toebox width a little wide. Instep volume is a little better but still loose with feet locked back in heel. Tried some Pedag SUPRA TONGUE PAD and the instep volume is much better worn barefoot but the length is still too long and heel slip still present. Tongue pads with socks make vamp too tight and instep is painful. I would go minimum half size (7.5E) down to get the vamp/instep perfect to lock my heels in place. Maybe one whole size (7E) down for the perfect length but I worry about the vamp being too tight.

I have a low instep, measure slightly over a 13, between a D and E. The Alexander last is a generous last. Randy suggested 12E which is 1/2 size down for Grant Stone, another half size down for loafer, and E helped get a touch more room in the toes. It's perfect and just snug enough across my low instep. If I had a high instep, I would have gone with my Brannock size.

Fit is good and overall I'm pretty happy. That said, I typically wear these sockless and think a truly perfect fit would be a 7.5E (down from my 8.5D brannock)

Purchased half size down from my GS Oxford size as per their recommendation. Length and width around the heels is perfect and width around ball of my foot and toes is ok but the instep area is very tight even going sockless. Took about 20 hours or so of just having them on and walking around the house for the leather to finally relax enough around the instep for me to finally feel comfortable wearing these out for an extended period of time. Overall though same amazing grant stone quality, not a stitch out of place or welt seam to be seen. I’d purchase again but probably at my normal size with them 9E instead of a half size down.

These are pretty comfortable and the espresso suede is freaking beautiful. The only breaking in point that was bad on the my feet was around the vamp area but i imagine that has to do with my high instep.
