Just received a pair of 1493 unlined chukkas. The fit and finish are amazing and sliding my foot into them feels like putting on a pair of slippers.
My only other pair of Alden’s are 403 Indy boots in 10.5D. Decided to go with an 11E in the chukkas. I think I made the right call. I have most of a thumbs width between where my toes end and the welt is, can wiggle my toes, etc.
I bought them sight unseen from Shoemart. Anything I should look out for fit wise with these? I’m fairly unfamiliar with how these are expected to fit, in general. I don’t feel any glaring issues with them on my feet: no heel slip, toes aren’t being crunched forward or cramped, etc.
I did the same (10.5D in Barrie and trubalance) and 11E on the leydon. Worked out perfectly.
