Meermin does offer wide sizing in their MTO from time to time. I would reach out to them for a particular shoe. They can probably do it for a fee. That would be an 8.5 wide. If they can’t (or you don’t want to wait or pay for an MTO) I’d probably go with a 9. I used to wear an 11.5E end the 11 fit about the same. They have some lasts that are wider, like the HOK which Id go with a 8.5.
Thank you very much for the answer sir. Could you perhaps do a video comparing brands at different price points, explaining what a person gets with different price point, what you would avoid in goodyear shoes, what things you look for when buying goodyear weltes shoes? It would be great to see how you view shoes at 200 vs 500 vs 1000 dollars price point. Anyways keep up the videos, love them
