True UK9.5 is EU 43.5. 42 are always 8, 42.5 is 8.5, 44 should be 10 but is often 9.75, and 45 is 10.25.
I remember commenting on this before, that depending on the weather/seasons/sock choice/shoe last you will go up or down a half EU size.
Generally I size up to EU44 for wiggle room in the toes to be safe, and because my feet are wide but not long, so I always have a lot of wasted space in the toe box to avoid cramping my little toe on the shoe’s side. However I have some shoes in 44 that are way too big, and tried others in 43 that are way too tight narrow.
Some consider the half sizes as the ‘wide’ option which isn’t technically true, and Anglo shoemakers have often used lettering to denote a wide fit last.
Double check the size guide, but I think you need to get your shoes out their boxes and read the EU sizing on the tongue/box, probably they will all say 43.5 or 44. UK10.5 is going to be clownshoe for you.
