How do I know whats right. I used to have sam edleman LIOR loafer in 7.5. They stretched out a bit and were very comfy. Yet I was always getting ingrown nails after wearing them for long periods at work so I think theyre a bit too narrow in the toe.
Anyway, I was still looking to get a new pair but now only the lorraine loafer is available. Heel seems a bit shorter on these. I ordered the 7.5 and they fit but very snug. I measured them and they are the same length as my previous version but the heel part is shorter. I know they stretch but it was feeling a bit too tight.
I ordered the 8 and I much prefer the roomier toe area fit and the length. Yet there is a tiny bit of heel slip in the back if im honest. I mainly am gonna be wearing them inside my building for short walking distance. Should I keep the tight 7.5 or the loose 8? DO I get insoles if the 8 stretches terribly? Im most concerned with my nail/foot health and will be wearing socks typically.
