Color 8 Dover by Leffot. Due to the heat, I tried to go with a sockless style. Will not do that again with a dress shirt and slacks ever again, I didn't think it worked well for me.

Cool shoes as always. These days (e.g. summer), I go sock less with almost all LWBs and PTBs. But not in a bus. casual setting and mostly with my Engineered Garments/ workwear stuff.

• Skatenc123 but I'm a 11.5D on barrie boot.

Does anyone know of a retailer with this boot? Thanks.

Looks like the AF53 from Alden of Carmel, but may be a bit sleeker.

Is that the AF53 from AoC? Plain toe, color 8, commando, tru balance. If so I have mine on preorder for delivery in August.

That is in fact the AF53 from AoC on the trubalance. Does anyone make this on the barrie?

Does one generally go up a half size from their barrie shoe when ordering a barrie boot? Is the same also true when ordering a trubalance boot?

 

[thebeebs]

Not here. I'm the same size across all barrie and trub shoes and boots.

 

[Rishi Kakar]

Thanks thebeebs!

I have this, it's a great boot. One of my go-to choices.

As always very nice Don L.

These boots are quickly becoming one of my favorite pairs.
And I don't let summer heat and humidity stop me from wearing them.

I've found Barrie boots to be noticeably narrower, and somewhat shorter, feeling than Barrie shoes. I personally need to go up a 1/2 size, or potentially a width. I know nothing about the TB last.
