They don't mention anything about bespoke on their website, and this is something that the marketing people (with whom the Barker Black guys are certainly very well acquainted) would want to shout about from the rooftops. If they did, it would probably be something like what Tim Little offers: stock pattern, custom last, machine-made shoe.

yeah, i didn't see anything on the site either. what's the general feel on the construction of these shoes? they don't seem to be a value play...

Not a value play, but solidly made. You are getting a C&J Benchgrade- or Handgrade-quality shoe at an EG price. What you are paying for is looks and style. If you like them, then I think that you are getting a solid shoe for your money (not a piece of junk a la Gucci...)
