I love these shoes. I purchased the navy blue ones in a size 10 close to a year ago. About 4 months ago, I purchased the triple white ones in size 10. I’m a true 9 1/2” in dress shoes and any other shoe (except sneakers) but I always purchase size 10 because I always replace the original insoles with the black superfeet insoles, and this size gives me enough room in the toe box. The size 10 blue Koios fit a tiny bit loose, but with a thicker insole they fit very comfortably. Now, the triple whites is a different story. When I first got them they felt looser than the blue ones and I figured I could make them work, so I put them away and threw the box away. Two weeks ago I wanted them wear and to my surprise they were looser than I thought. Of course, I couldn’t return them anymore so I had to make them work somehow. I ended up with thin insoles under the original one and some pads under the tongues to keep my feet from sliding. Anyway, for me a 9 1/2” would be the ideal size and I wouldn’t have to do anything to them. I was looking at the castagna ones, but I’m very hesitant buying them and I just don’t want to deal with the returns.
I would like to order these. However I have a sizing concern and as i live in France. I would not be able to return/exchange them. I wear a size 9,5 for new balance 990´s serie. 42 european size in dress shoes. Size 10 in new balance 574. What size would you think fit me. Thanks in advance
