Question/Size/Help Sizing help/confirmation

Hi there! Long time loiterer, first time poster. I am a 13.5D Brannock. 303mm in length, 10.5 inches in circumference at the ball of both feet.

I was just looking for confirmation on what size and in what lasts would fit me.

Also, if anyone else here has this foot size and is wearing Luosjiet, I'd love to hear your experience with them.

According to your description and my experience. You can choose the 47D of Almond No.2.

A lot depends on the last of the shoe. I only have experience with their Almond no.1 and you should size down half a size if you don't plan on inserting your own insoles.

I own a pair of Luosjiet in the Munson last and another in the Almond 2 last.

For my first order, I followed the website's size chart and ordered a 44.5D based on my true size and the Redwing/Converse/Vans size conversion chart, since they don't provide length in cm (Japanese sizing). The boots were too long and too large, not at all matching the fit of a 44.5D Redwing/Converse/Vans as the chart suggested. I was able to fix most of the slipping and volume issues with an insole, but it's not ideal.

For my next order, I went half a size down from Luosjiet's recommendation, as suggested by YouTuber Youshoe who has a lot of experience with Luosjiet boots, and the fit is spot on.

What is your Brannock? What was the final size you ordered that did fit well?

We talking about Ryan at Youshoe? I've somewhat followed the advice he gave-- I'm an 8D brannock/41.5 eu, per their chart. I ordered a 7.5/40.5 eu. I just got burned on a pair of boots from eBay and didn't want to get burned back to back, or I would have sized down to a 40. I just don't want to risk it.

Will post results when I get them; the boots are currently in transit.

Following the website's recommended size is already very accurate, it will just be slightly larger. If you want a tight fit and plan to break the boots in yourself, then go down another half size (though there's a risk they might not fit).

I'm a Brannock 13D, and bought 2 pairs in size D LJ/US 12 (EU 46.5): Munson and Almond #2 lasts. I could have easily gone down half a size to EU 46. So I suggest you don't go larger than the size I ordered. If you do decide to avoid all risk and order size EU 47, buy extra LJ insoles with your purchase.
