    Anyway, received them a couple of days ago. The leather isn't as soft as my La Storia when they were new but it's still noticeably better than mainstream leather boots. The tongue also doesn't feel as padded as the La Storia tongue. The Europa came with proper insoles with an arch, rather than the pathetically thin strip that were in my La Storia and older models. I also received some white laces but I thing they look much better with black ones. The white laces make them look like cheap kids boots. Here are some photos:

    Totally confusing o_O

    I think this confusion is caused by the fact that all size comparison charts are nonsense :)

    I thought a full size in EU was approx 7mm. So half a size would be approx 3.5mm. (it is actually calculated in "Paris Points", some weird outdated system). This is much more granular that UK, US, or JP sizing, hence the weirdness in the gaps shown between those sizes in the chart.

    I am also assuming that the EU sizes shown on the chart are the "real sizes", and the others are just there as a guide.

    But the more I look the more confused I get.

    btw, what sizes do you wear in other brands? I am usually US9 (UK8 or UK8.5 depending on the brand). So I would assume my Ryal size would be somewhere around 42 -> 42.5. I think I wzs recommended 42.5 by them when I contacted them a while back.

    I'm normally a UK 7 or 7 ½. A while back in the thread it was suggested that Ryal's sizing is half a size small, which would make sense based on the two pairs I've bought from them.

    This time i go halfsize up in the piumas, because they have it only in 40,5. I paid 69€ top price i think. IMG_20180511_101218288_HDR.jpg IMG_20180511_101206695_HDR.jpg IMG_20180511_101157745_HDR.jpg

    I had the Leggendas from years ago and went half a size down but I'm willing to be the Lotto sizing has changed.
    I prefer those Diadoras personally.

    Normally I play with adidas x 15.1 and vapor x an then I play with the piumas. The comfort level is outstanding and the colibri is even better. Out of the box cinquestelle is the best even better than a morelia mij IMG_20180511_101206695_HDR.jpeg

    Ryal have a Summer sale running at the moment with savings of up to €50. For example, the Europa is down from €110 to €89.

    I would check your European size in the morelias and then go true size or go half size down for a very tide fit. This is the piuma IMG_20180511_101206695_HDR.jpeg IMG_20180511_101157745_HDR.jpeg
