^^^Very interesting shoes. They are almost identical to my Lobb Barros model, except for the reverse (possibly Norwegian) welt--where the welt is entirely on the outside of the upper. The Barros has a conventional welt. Otherwise--upper style in all details and heavy lugged sole--identical. Even the name is close: Barrow and Barros. These are very nice--a great heavy-weather shoe in an attractive pebble-grain finish--and, in my opinion, worth considerably more than the asking price. Wish I were a Size 7.

Thanks for your comments. These shoes indeed have an unusual welt. Despite their very thick soles they are very flexible and would be easy to brake-in. I think they would be perfect for country shoes or for those slush/rain days.

Are these one of the Lobb models made in France by Heschung?
