Not exactly that necessarily, but that is the idea I am going for

Price range around $300, andin a dark to medium brown

Picked them off the bay last year and they're not too bad with jeans.

The Barrie last is perfect for my weird, flat feet (e.g. it took me four separate sessions for my local ski shop to fit me for a pair of boots!).
