I went to NYC this weekend to shop around and made sure I swung by Barker Black. As most people stated in previous threads the shoes are WAYYYYY over priced but I had to see for myself. Yeah they are pretty cool looking but I am 27 and I would defenitely not be wearing these shoes into my 30's. and for a price tag around $750 I better get a whole career out of them!
The construction looked decent but the comfort was no where near that of Crockett and Jones. The inside soles were very hard and the last squeezed your foot too much.
Anways the biggest negative out of the whole experience was the sales person they had. Their shop is probably 200 square feet and I was the only person in there. He was so rude and arrogant even if the price was right I wouldn't have bought from him. it really was a shame. his attitude was pathetic.
The one positive I came away with was their ties. They were great looking and the silk was prefect. they also made them extra long which i like. They should definitely put their line of ties on the web. I almost bought one but didn't want to give that d-bag salesman a commission. I'll wait till they get em' online....
