Tried them on and they are nice but my feet have shrunk from a size eleven to a ten.

Are those brogues the Buckingham?
Just trying to decide between the following shoes:
Loake Buckingham Dainite
Loake Sovereign
Charles Tywitt Paddington (only if I can get outlet to do them cheaper)

What did you end up going for?
I was considering the Sovereign, but went for the Heston.
PS, does anyone know where the best place to get shoe trees is?

I got the soverigns, seem like a nice shoe, pretty heavy but should last well.

Try 'before you buy' is not easy up here. To find a stockist with a decent stock would entail a 100 mile round trip. Many folks in Scotland rely on mail order. I don't have a problem with it. The fact that the shoes didn't fit was strange, as my other Loakes' of the same size, do. My concern was that I thought that I had ordered English made shoes.
Certainly, the quality looked OK, and your comments seem to bare that out.

Steve,
I hadn't realised you were so far out. I apologise if I came across a bit brusquely.
I have a very hazy recollection of a man at the discount shoe store on Strutton Ground (Victoria, London) telling me that L1's manufacture to width G as standard, meaning that I can shoe a 10 in L1's, very comfortably (I have slightly hobbity wide feet), but with most other off-the-shelf shoes I wear size 11's, with my toes peering into a vast cavern at the end of the shoe.
Was the shoe too narrow or too short, or something else?
