I'm very interested in their shoes, but cannot seem to get decent pictures at all from their website. I've also searched this forum but the only pictures I can find are of the suede and calf spectators which are a definite buy for summer for me, and are already arriving. All pictures are welcome however, and this could be a better resource for others in my situation.

I haven't seen those boots but they look nice from the picture. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the lacing though. I have a pair of BB wingtips on the way that I am looking forward to

These are my M9980's. They are a fantastic fit for me. Don't seem to be too liked by others!!

That is not a bal boot and that is not a wholecut next to it. It's a jodhpur.

Me too, my shoe collection is very traditional and I just wanted something a bit different. The Jodhpur boot is something that I'm interested in too.

Yes...I realised that. 'They' refers to the boot.

Coincidentally I contacted Barker about the Barker Blacks on Friday. They're not available from retailers in the UK (although I think Harrods have had them in the past), but the factory shop has limited stocks of slight seconds at £125 for shoes and £150 for boots. I'm awaiting a list of what they've got in a UK 11...

Even for seconds that's still a great deal.
