To start, I've considered going down 1 whole size as well. Aberdeen 12D, Barrie (boot) 11.5D, and my 11.5 CXL PTB are a bit large - they easily could fit me in 11D, I think. Same with my Tremont 974s, I got a 12D with tongue pads but should've got an 11.5D or smaller.
My feet sound the same, too.
Try a 10.5C first, but otherwise, try the 10D.

I sized down in the Trubalance... for some reason I need to size up for that barrier, I do it more for width , then length... I think I could do a 11.5 e or 11 e in the barrier, but my foot on a brannock is 12d. DOn't know if that helps....

The Marlow has a higher arch, but is shorter overall than the LHS in the same size. Take that for what you will.

Alden x Leffot Color 8 LWB.

First pair of shells! Been coveting Color 8 for a while, decided "What the hell?!" the other day, and BAM! Here they are.
Didn't do a very good job reproducing the color in the pic (they look so different depending on the light)... That being said, I'm quite happy with them, and am looking forward to seeing them age.

Side note, NewYorkRanger's Ravello's make me second guess my purchase! Was torn between Color 8 and Cigar initially. I'm quite a fan of the antique edge though, and am happy I was able to snag some color 8's with that.

Cheers Gents!

Seems like it's a bit far up to me; mine is farther back.
