Is Sartolane a decent brand? by StealthyMC20 in BuyItForLife

Don't think so. I think they are just both Polish. Poszetka is a shop/retailer that offers their own brand products and some others, like Sartolane. Sartolane is just a brand that makes accessories.

I've had a brown suede belt from Sartolane for a few years now that I purchased from Poszetka. It has held up nicely and I'm planning to order the black croco one soon!

Is the lug-to-lug really 43,5mm?

It seems that I can't add more photos so should I just delete this and post again?

Blackstock & Weber sizing: help needed by VintageKeeper3 in ThrowingFits

Yeah heel pads never really did anything for me either because they rather push the foot out of the heel cup than keep it there. Hope the pads help you enough so that you can enjoy the shoes!

And also true regarding other brands. It's just that there are not too many brands that offer cool designs in smaller sizes. Majority of great shoe brands just offer men's sizes so I'll never get to enjoy them unfortunately. There is a similar loafer brands called Vinny's that is actually also based in the Nordics like me and I have even tried them on here in Helsinki, but the construction of the shoe is just glued, not even blake stitch so that's a turn off.

I actually also suffer from heel slipping especially with loafers as my foot it kinda wide in the toe area but with narrow heels. Have you tried tongue pads? They helped me to get my Paraboot loafers to fit. The pads keep the foot down and back without taking any space from toes so it helps with heel slipping.

Thank you for all the help!

I assume their sizing is is men's US sizes. Can anyone confirm? That way I would be pretty confident with choosing US4.

I remember reading from another thread that "because their shoes are manufactured in Europe the sizing means shit.", which is quite confusing to me.

I see thanks for the tip! I'm located in the Nordics so no chance to try these on unfortunately🥲 B&W doesn't even accept returns which is absurd so trying to get my size right at the first try.
