1. Alden brogues, size 13D. Bought these wingtips off eBay, but are too narrow for my wide feet. Seller claims they were worn once...by Danny Glover. I guess they were selling these as costume remainder. Beautiful shoes and great condition. Length: 13" Width: 4.25-5" Retail: $400+ Price: $180 shipped 2. Trickers bluchers, size 13.5 (US? Check measurements). Worn 2-3 times, but the instep wasn't right (mine is very high). A fabulous staple shoe. Length: 13" Width: 4.25-5" Retail: $400+ Price: $170 shipped 3. Bobo tan suede unstructured brogues, size ~13. Don't know much about this Italian brand, but a beautiful casual shoe for summer. Good condition, only worn a few times. Length: 12.75" Width: 4" (could fit wider however, since unstructured) Retail: I'd guess ~$200 Price: $75 shipped 4. Certo brown suede brogues, size 13? (will check tomorrow). NIB. Bought from Lance at VCH. Length: 12.25" Width: 4" Retail: ~$300 Price: $130 shipped

I always loved Trickers. A wonderful shoe (rugged & tough) at a very nice price. These look great too. That 13 1/2 is definitely a UK size. These are between a 14 1/2 - 15US. Freaking wow!

If you've got monster feet, buy these now.

Good luck w/ the sale.

Overall length is 13", so I don't think a 14.5-15. I think it is a 13 in a 5 width, not a 13 1/2. 5 width is Trickers average width, I think a D. That length on a UK 13 is curious, did Tricker ever mark their shoes for a US market? Is that measurement to the edge of the sole? I know measurements are a tricky thing, but no way a 13" shoe with that big a sole extension a size 14 US.

Great deal on those Aldens, I have those in brown and they are a very nice shoe.

Good luck.

As stated above, those Trickers are not a 13.5. They are a size 13 with a 5 width. I don't know if they are a US or UK size.

Sorry, I just looked at the poster's guess at size & not at the size marking pic. The half sizes are marked with a strange mark after the number, rather than a ".5". So, the .5. is the width. However, All Trickers are UK sizing.

Not necessarily true actually. I've bought some Trickers from the US which were definitely smaller, on the same last.

Can't tell on my screen, are those Aldens dark brown?
