The Barbanera Shoes Appreciation Thread (pictures, sizing, etc.)

[kauboi]

I don't own any of these you have, but I basically take my EG/GG size (i.e. +0.5 from usual UK size such as CJ) for cash (mine wasn't suede)

so to recap something like 9.5D US, 8.5E UK (CJ), 9E UK (EG/GG, though MH71 is the only GG could fit me) and 9 UK for Barbanera cash

Understood! Thank you very much for your input. They feel good with that sizing for you?

Yup

Just note: I've often found that Barbanera boots have a very narrow shaft. If you have muscular legs, prepare to return.

I’d say average… worst case, it stretches a bit? 😅

Be prepared to return

Be prepared to return

I’m in Canada, it would probably be an expensive return haha… so you just cannot wear their boots?

Yeah, the shaft is too narrow. I'm just offering some advice from experience. Lots of people can't find a good fit with the brand.

FWIW

I take a size 6.5 in their old AKC loafer (completely unlined). In the Chat monks NMWA use to carry size 7.5. When I asked about sizing the Cash black suede boots was informed to size up to 8.

IME Barbanera shoes are some of my best fitting when it fits. YMMV

I'm interested in their waxed cash boots.

How is the sizing on that? Are these boots just impossible for some to wear or what's the deal?

I have a pair of Saint Laurent Wyatt harness boots at 43 that I just barely can use. I would probably want a 43.5 in those boots. Would I be able to wear the Barbanera cash boots you think? I noticed the waxed boots are coming back so I wanted to try them but I can't be bothered to pay €50 to return a pair of shoes because they didn't fit.

Hey man! I ultimately ordered UK9 for the waxed cash boots while I usually wear 8.5 everywhere else. They fit amazing! I followed advices from here and sized up 0.5, it was perfect. I love them

Thank you brother! Indeed, they look really nice. Glad you're happy with them! No issues with your calves? Not sure how tall these are.

Either way, I'll might give the 9.5's a shot then instead of my typical 9/43.

I took my EG/GG UK size rather than CJ UK size if it help (i.e. +0.5 from the usual UK size), no experience with YSL Wyatt

Cheers! No issues around the ankles? They aren't too tall or anything? The Wyatts are fairly tall anyway or likely similar but a centimeter could do the world of difference if it's too tall.

Not at all! I would say I am average shape, 5’11” 182lbs, no problem with calves
