Fellas,

Looking for some information/guidance on the fit of Barker Black shoes (specifically: Archdale). I'm considering making the considerably pricey leap into a pair, and I would like to hear the opinions and experience of people who own them. Needless to say, I'll be buying online, so I'm not able to simply try on and find out for myself. I'm a solid 11D in sneakers, but depending on the last/cut, I can fit well into a 10.5D or 11D in dress shoes. Any input is appreciated. Thanks,

Tony

I am a US 12.5-13D. I ordered the Archdales in a 12UK/13US & they were too big for me. I mean, they fit but I could wear a pair of tube socks under my dress socks & they were still too loose. So I sold them & bought an 11UK/12US and to my surprise they were way too tight!

I couldn't make sense of it. I would probably have done well with a 12.5US but I gave up.

To answer your question, if you're between 10.5 - 11D, I would order a 10.5. Where are you going to order them from?

The Archdales fit true to size, but they are on a very narrow last, almost Tramezza narrow.
