CT shoes?

[lefty]

Couldn't find anything with a search and haven't seen the shoes in person, but I'm considering a pair of boots for winter wear.

All made by Loake?

Corrected grain?

Thanks.

Some CT shoes are made by Barker.

Does that make them better or worse?

This is the first time I've seen this stated so definitively, though I've seen speculation before. How do you know? EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your other post about the Barker sale. Thanks for the info.

For others reading this one I saw several pairs with CT codes in the Barker's sale in Regent Street. That confirmed for me what others have often suggested. They were all wholecuts by the way.

I think it would make them better, perhaps.

Does that mean Barker-made CT shoes are no longer oversized as Loake-made ones were?

Not sure which boots you're considering, but I recently purchased their brown leather chukkas. No idea who made them, but I'm pleased with them. I got them for half price and they seem to be good value.

Incidentally, I also recently purchased their country 3-in-1 jacket. I like it a lot. If you're looking for a casual winter coat, it's a good deal.

I am sorry I did not try them on. I would say for wholecuts they looked a bit chunky. There has been discussion about them on another forum.
