Did Gamera destroy your old avatar pic?????

Nah man, that was Urutora Man or one of his friends or family. Bastards.

Bought these at TSM factory second (leydon last in 10.5d). Barrie 10.5d is perfect for me - these are a tad snug, but especially tight right here. Think the cordovan will break in at this point (seems like it’s a natural break in area for loafers so thinking of keeping them)

Today's forecast called for a rainy day clod hopper..and these Chukka's in 8 fit the bill. Been one of my main go-tos in rain, snow, sleet, whatever, for 15 years now.

I also purchased their George boot cousins around the same time. The family resemblance is amazing with the only difference being laces or buckle.

Happy 405 Indys , they might need some color in the front and inside the heel. I wonder if someone can suggest a way to clean the neocork soles.

I am wearing Barrie cordovan blucher in 11D and Barrie suede LWB in 11E. Anyone else have such size variations in the same last?

I have always found Alden suede to fit a bit snug when compared to their shell offerings and typically size just as you have described. Same length, up one width.

Same here. Though the difference is too negligible for me to justify changing width.

There are many like it, but this pair is mine.

Don’t have much reason to rock these any more but the Cooper Foundation luncheon (honoring the legendary Chuck Cooper, original pioneer and first Black drafted into the NBA) is an appropriate occasion……..

If I fit comfortably in 11.5D barrie then I should take 11.5D in trubalance correct?

Hampton last is really comfortable for me and I actually prefer it by a mile over the AE 65 last. These are Fifth Ave killers!
