Well, I’m glad I stuck with the same Barrie size for boots as shoes. These walnut annonay plain toe’s from L&F fit great.

I really like the black piping on those. Especially with brass. Very tasteful.

Nice, what are those? Is that a smooth chamois?

Maiden Voyage, getting drivers license renewed, and the age of COVID-this is not an easy thing. Wait in a vestibule, get handed a number, go back outside and wait around until they call your number, wear a mask, the staff sanitizes everything multiple times. Pick up a pen, they sanitize it when you put it down, get your vision tested, sanitize. Whole process took about 1 1/2 hours from start to finish and I didn't need to drive or take any type of test, that would have made it even longer. View attachment 1469212

Nice!

I bought a pr last year - can't find a pic.

Natty Barrie PTB. I love the more casual look to these. Perfect Jean Chino Cord trouser shoe. Heck I even wear them with shorts for a more structured shoe day.
