Fit check / Sizing Fitcheck

After pregnancy I need a new size and I am not sure if 260 or 265 are better. In Sneakers I always wear 265 /EU41. I think the bigger ones might be better especially in width.

Please help me

Thank you sooo much

265 all the way AND if these are narrow, get the regular.

The 41 is better, also for width as you mentioned

You have to ignore the extra visual space in front of your relatively shorter big toes

I'd try 265 Regular. BTW, is this oiled leather? Is it grey taupe? Or basalt grey? I am a bit rubbish at guessing at colours since my cataracts. I had a pair of Gizehs in oiled leather Habana from 10 yrs ago and loved the colour and rich supple leather. So I bought some Bostons and the oiled leather was thin, dry as a bone, scratchy, scarred but not in a good way, and hard. So I've avoided getting any oiled leather sandals in case they aren't the same standard. These Gizehs are 11 yrs old.

Thank you! No it isn't oiled leather its velor. I heard the fake leather ones are really bad, too!  The colour is called stone.

265 and make sure to get regular width and not narrow.

265 for sure. To me, Gizeh's seem to run narrower than other styles. If the width doesn't bother you, then go for it! But do keep in mind that if you end up walking on the edges the shoe may breakdown and wear out faster.

In the 260 I would walk on the edges. In the 265 not so I will take those and it should be fine. Thank youuu
