After 3 months of sun fading these two Color 8 pairs, my “Sunrello” shoes are at the perfect color for me.

The color is somewhere between Ravello and Mocha. A nice red/brown mixture.

These are awesome. Did you rotate which part of the shoe was facing the sun every once in a while to get an even fade?

Yes. I did a rotation one of left, right, front, back per day.

Then I compared the colors to maintain some consistency.

Thank you. No they are Barrie. It might just be the angle that makes them look more tapered.

Raining and more thunderstorms in forecast for this evening, heading out soon and chose Brogue Tourist boot for the job.

Most don't, including myself, as broken in calf/suede fits pretty close to broken in shell. Shell doesn't stretch as much, but it does tend to mold.
I personally wonder if you wouldn't be happier in 8.5D shell, assuming it's your best feeling Barrie now?

I wonder too if I could also fit a 8.5D in shell. But I do know their is no way I could go a 8D in calf after trying on the 8.5D, even though I also have 8D in shell. So that’s why I thought different leather also can effect sizing.
