Just a question for the group....what is your favorite last?
Plaza and Barrie are 1a and 1b for me. Two entirely different looks, and both fit beautifully. I have no idea how that can be, they are so different and my foot shape is so odd, but there it is.

Thanks all for responses on favorite lasts. It's just interesting to find out stuff like this, for some reason. Mine are Aberdeen/Plaza/379/Barrie and TB in that order (well at least today :))

I have sensible skin and get blisters for almost anything. To avoid blisters so I can use shoes sockless in very warm weather I use this runner's trick that might help. Try some kinesio tape in the zones of your feet that hurt and this might help stretching the shoes.

I hope it helps.

Haven't worn them all (or even tried them), but as of now my preference order is: Plaza, Grant, Trubalance, Hampton, Aberdeen, Tremont.

I can't fit Barrie, so that comes in last behind anything I haven't' tried.

No question asked TB is my favorite last. It just fits my foot so perfectly
