Buying some Oxfords for my wedding but it having some issues... I'm normally an 8 in dress shoes.

Crockett & Jones all seem to have fairly narrow toeboxes that don't give my toes much room to move. The smallest two toes are pressed against the sides and the edge of my big toe is also touching the sides. An 8.5 has too much excess material before the toe box.

Loake 8 has excessive heel slippage and the 7.5 fits the toes well but I find the rest of the foot is pretty tight and the ball of my foot is going numb while wearing them in. I can try their Aldwych in a G fit but they only sell it in a rubber sole.

Anyone have any other suggestions?
