Greetings from Poland. It's really magnificent that there are people like you, who are teaching how to have wear with class and to have properly fitted clothes.
I have only recently discovered your videos and absolutely love it. I'm 65 and an ex army warrant officer, so I'm quite particular about my dress both at work and in civilian clothes. Please correct me if I picked this up wrongly. Did you say, Measure your feet and add 2 sizes to get your proper shoe size? I've always worn a size 7 and this would mean wearing a 9. I look forward to watching more of your fascinating videos 👍
Thank you very much!. The shoe measuring stick we use is simple yet complicated method . I’ve never tried to work it out . I’ve just measured the way I was shown with this system ( there are a few). If a 7 shoe fits you, stay with it. ( on the shoe measure you would measure a 5, add 2 to give 7)…. I have the task of finding out why now 🤝🤝😂
Yes, I agree about the loafers. Unfortunately, I can't wear them because my foot has no arch. Once the leather stretches, the once perfectly good shoe is gone. All of my Oxford shoes are laced up; even my chukka boots have to have three laces up, not two. In the USA, a person with no arch is called flat foot.
Always learning from your channel Jeremy. Interesting to discover that some shoes may not be appropriate based on your foot shape. P.S. thank you for the shoe stretching tip using a broom handle. I have some Church’s loafers Ryan now fit better as a result!
It’s a complicated thing as when I showed the measured size 7 and then added 2 to get size 9 ( the 7 actually measures 10”… ?) . Short answer I don’t know , it was how I was shown , but it works. There are quite a few methods also complicated🤝🤝
Terrific video. Is your measuring system specific to the UK? Have you tried the Brannock device? If so, why do you prefer your stick system? Keep up the good work.
I often struggle with the toe area. What if the outer part of the big toe contacts the toe box, producing a slight inward pressure? I have heard some say this is okay, and that it allows a nicer appearance from the outside, bit to me it seems like asking for trouble!
