Loafer for guy with large feet (EU)
Hi guys! I'm looking for a pair of loafers; I've never had them and I thought it'd be nice to own a pair for my upcoming workation to Singapore.
I have a bit of a weird shoesize; I've never done a brannock device thing, but as you can see in the pic it's all over the place; from EU 46 to EU 49 1/3rd.
I'm looking for some nice loafers to pair with things like linen trousers/chinos and button down shirts.
The brands I see recommended a lot are mostly US-centric, and the few EU ones usually stop at size 46; only a few shoes I have are actually 46 (and I think it's because they have a pointy nose), almost always they're too small.
Does anyone have some suggestions for 'classy-ish' loafers?

Do you have a budget in mind?
I own and like Sebago Classic Dan loafers, it looks like they go up to eu50 and you can find them on sale or secondhand pretty frequently although it may be harder with those sizes.
I think the Meermin Loafers on the Nova last go up to UK15, which I think is EU49. I have the unlined ones in brown suede and am quite happy so far.
I was thinking on the lower end; 100-250 euro or something? I'm not really sure how much these things cost
Ah, I see now. I didn't even know there were such things as lasts haha
Sadly all the larger sizes seem sold out
Ah, dang 😦

Probably pretty bad
Yeah, try Meermin. I have a pair and they are nice. They have recently introduced some with a more vertical toe shape that I prefer, so you have plenty of choice as to material and look.
A dressier toe shape I think of a more "European": https://meermin.com/collections/mens-loafers/products/101484-expresso-antique-calf-e

I'd love to try them, but;
They restock fairly frequently so I would set up the notification and be patient.
They are pricier than Meermin, but Carmina has loafers going up to a UK 14/US 14.5
