1) Are they really that light?
2) Nice stack of shoe boxes in the background.

Aye, the color lacks that lovely Cognac depth, but it could just be due to the flash/washed out photo. Bryant, did you email her to order them?

I've heard conflicting info on the Rain last...some describe it as slightly narrow while others say slightly wide. I usually take a C width in American shoes (AE Park Avenue and Alden Van last). Would the Rain last be a bad choice for me?

I think there's a good chance it would work out for you. It's definitely on the wider end of things compared to, say, the Alcudia or the Simpson. I own shoes on the Inca, Forest and Rain. It definitely doesn't fit me as well as the Forest or Inca, but it's still a comfortable last. If you're looking for something on the more narrow end, I'd try the Simpson. The Alcudia, from what I've heard/tried on, doesn't really fit most guys all that well.

As standard the Rain last is a wide last. It's probably not ideal for you as you say you have narrow feet.
