Excellent point. This site has cost me about $3k in 6 weeks.
Also, it is populated with enablers. When I PM people with my standard, "How are you liking your. . . " I have yet to be dissuaded from pulling the trigger.
I wear a 12C in the Barrie, would I be able to squeeze into a 12D in the Marlow wingtip? I know a 13D will be too big for sure....but there's no 12.5 so I might be screwed either way. Maybe I will just bite the bullet with the 12's and I can return them if they don't fit. And how do you get the 40 + 15? Can I just call any RL store and ask for it?
Hope it works out. For others with the same question, my PTBs showed up today, and FWIW, here's a side-by-side comparison of it with the same size 11.5 Alden Barrie PTBs (I plan on selling these, BTW). Not sure how helpful a photo is, but I think you can probably see that it's a bit shorter and narrower (particularly in the heel).
The Darlton/Marlow looks so much better. I'm sure it fits a human shaped foot better too.
This pic illustrates exactly why I bought the Lindrick, love the way its framed in the ankle, that narrower curve translates very well into a nice line when worn. Notice how the other 2 are boxier thru the lace area. You can see the result with the shoe on the right very well here:
The thing is, the Marlows were not nearly as tight as I would have expected and were almost doable.
