It has poron insoles so it would be a hair tighter but not enough to size up according to my experience.

The shell cordovan Bradley at RDA price is really calling my name. If only they didn't come with black soles and slip bead...

I'm looking at these from BB in brown:
http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Bluch...d.html?dwvar_MH00029_Color=BRWN&contentpos=45
Seems like a good deal right now.
They appear to be the AE San Marco (#2 Last).
I am a 11D in the #5 last (Mc Allister) and an 11D on the #1 Last (Dalton).
It seems like the #2 fits narrow, any suggestions on whether I should size up?
That is an exceptionally good deal. They are indeed the San Marco. I own the brown ones - in fact, they were the very first pair of AEs I ever bought. I went the same size in them as I do in the 1 and 5 lasts and they work just fine for me.

Mora 2.0s in bourbon with jeans? Pics?
Trying to decide on those or:
Certainly easier to dress up with the Moras, but what I'm lacking at the moment are shoes that look good with jeans, chinos, and cords. I'm leaning toward the Moras because they work well with my work wardrobe, but I also wonder how well they'll stand the test of time. (In other words, are monk straps really here to stay?)

If I'm usually a 10D or 9.5E on the 5 Last, what do people recommend for the 8 Last, particularly for the Mora 2.0?
(Or do I forget the Mora and just get some brogue suede Strands? (for totally different uses, of course...))

I'm kind of in the same position - looking at both the Moras and suede. I don't think there's a lot of overlap between their uses, I'm afraid. I guess you could probably dress down bourbon Moras more easily than you could dress up suede wingtips (particularly those with the light welt).

Today, the Walnut Daltons were reduced to $219. Not sure why they were not yesterday, but now they are. Grab yourself a pair! I did.

I take 8.5C in #5 last and ordered 8D in Dalton (bourbon) yesterday. Considering that I will be wearing thicker socks with DAltons, I hope they won't be small.

With the RDA starting, I'm torn between getting a Mcallister or a dalton boot. Both are similar in style, but I can only buy one. Any thoughts on versatility of both? Right now I have strands in walnut(I was contemplating getting the Mcallister in the same color) Was thinking the dalton in either bourbon or walnut. I mostly dress down with dark denim and chinos, occasional dress pant. I'd get both if I could, but I'm saving up for a shell purchase later in the year

I just purchased chocolate daltons but I have bourbon mcallisters and walnut strands already. I liked the chocolate for the versatility but in your case I vote for walnut daltons. I'm also a boot guy though too so I may be slightly biased haha.
