haha I've had my eye on that burgundy Stark since capsule last winter. I grabbed it from TBS, too, let's hope they have enough stock to cover massive SF kopping.

Or that we didn't all order the same size. Either way I believe Roden Gray is getting it in burgundy too if you'd rather order from North America.

How about? (sorry about huge pic)

[pic of Alden barrie shell wingtip deleted]

Sizing on these? Good w/ straightish to slimish jeans (NS, PBJ 005 etc.)? Finally, worth almost $600?


I got tried on AE MacNeils (lightly scuffed up soles, shell cordovan stamp still visible) for about $200 recently; you can probably get brand new AE MacNeils for $325 or thereabout if you are patient and a common size.

But the Alden version has a nicer post-treatment of the shell. I think AE just takes it the way it comes from Horween, and Alden gives it another dye/color treatment.

Edit: One more thing: The AE MacNeil is a bit more of a pointy last than the Alden Barrie LW. Wish AE had a longwing on the same last as the Leeds, which they could use to compete head to head with the Alden Barrie and the Tricker's contry brogues and brogue boots.

Do you how they fit? I'm assuming since I'm a M in BoO, I should get a M here?

I don't. They hadn't restocked their smaller sizes when I was there last so I didn't try them on. Send them an email though, they're pretty helpful.

If those are your choices....Spring Courts
The Adidas Resplits aren't bad though
