So I tried the Pikolinos royal bootie in the 37/7.  As per the reviews this style runs narrow and short compared to the vicar studded bootie and the vicar combat that I bought in black last NAS and a couple of years before.  They both fit perfectly.  So I am awaiting the royal in size 8, I'm hoping it's not too big.  My other two pikolinos get hard wear because of the low heel and total comfort so I would not be unhappy with a more refined bootie to split wears for work. 

I also tried on the aqualia cambria in a size 7 my usual, although I usually size up 1/2 size in this brand.  Surprisingly this had a much narrower shaft.  There is room for a jean but it's a lot more fitted from ankle to knee.  With a 3/4 orthotic the forefoot was slightly snug but the length was fine.  If you don't wear orthotics you definitely want your normal size. I have a boot stretcher and spray so I'm sticking with the 7 but going to do a very small stretch on the width on the left and they should be perfect.

The Halogen trench arrived in XS and this is the correct size.  I did try my heaviest blazers underneath, not that I would wear that with such a light coat and they fit well in the arms and body.  With any kind of normal layering the xs is less overwhelming and even loving oversized, I think the small looked sloppy rather than chic in a comparison.
