I have a low instep. If anything, I've sized down for shoes rather than boots in the past. For boots, the shaft normally helps secure the fit.

I've recently had some success going up half a size in length but down one in width for Barrie shoes. I normally take 10.5D in boots and went with 11C for a pair of PTBs. The fit was relatively good.

I don't notice a difference in the fit of Barrie bluchers and boots. Both fit me beautifully ½ size down. I doubt I could get my foot in a Barrie boot full size down.
legal disclosure: I have low instep

I went with my Barrie shoe size for my first Barrie boots. I hope they have as good a lace gap as my shoes. Next time I’m near a store, I’ll experiment with C’s and E’s. Will report back with fit pics when they’re delivered.

Alden Brown Chromexcel Norwegian Front Blucher Boot With Commando Sole

Say hello to the Alden Brown Chromexcel Norwegian Front Blucher Boot With Commando Sole! Yes that's right, it's as substantial as the name suggests. What makes this boot so special? Well first and foremost it's brown! Second it has a split toe. How many boots have you seen like that? It's rare...

Thank you. Sold out in my size unfortunately, here and every where else. If anybody here wants to sell a brown cxl NST, I am a size 8.5D or 8.5E Barrie.
