For all of you with your eye on something on eBay, there is a 15% coupon going live tomorrow that applies to almost everything I think. (Max discount of $100).

I'm headed to check out my watch list now...

I'm tempted to buy the J.Crew Shell PCT boots in Barrie 10. I have two pairs of LWB in Barrie Last in 10.5 that I think fit well. I like that they are slightly roomier for my slightly wider foot and also let me put in insoles when I want to without cramping my foot, but I am curious as to how a 10 would fit as well since I'm a 10.5 in the Brannock.

Has anyone ever gone half a size down in the Barrie (as is often recommended) and then regretted or had it not work out? Especially with regards to width?

Well, if you can put insoles in them, they're likely 1/2 size too large. 10 is probably your true Barrie size, but if you prefer a roomier fit with the option to put in insoles, stick with 10.5. Especially in a boot, where you can get away with a roomier fit. Some people (not me) also think the J.Crew PCT boot in particular runs a little small.

Agreed. When I had my pair, the seemed to be a bit tighter than my other Barrie offerings in the same size. They weren't uncomfortable, just more fitted. If that makes any sense... I would probably stick with my normal Barrie size if I ran across another pair.

I mainly own Vibergs but today these Indy’s arrived from Milworks. It’s my first pair of Indys and my first time trying the Trublanace last and its super comfortable.

Just got my first pair of Alden. Alden X Brooks Brothers Natural Chromexcel Tassel Loafers on Aberdeen last. These are just the most beautiful pieces of footwear I have ever seen. Although I have to watch it because the seal has definitely been broken and I have a new mistress.

Very nice, and they may not be your last pair of Indy's.

Fantastic! Been admiring that pair for a while. I have a very strong and somewhat illogical desire to own them. I almost want to switch over to tassel moccasins 24x7x365.
