What shoe on Leydon are you considering? Because the "narrow in the toes" comment (which would be more accurately/technically described as "shallow in the toe box", not so much narrower) is really only specific to unlined chukkas, which is 95% of guys experience with Leydon. If you're considering a non-suede fully lined Leydon shoe you'd be better off starting true to size.Fit Question: For those who may own both Barrie and Leydon lasted shoes, what different sizes do you take? I am a 9.5D in Barrie and think I would take a 10E in Leydon. Anyone with real world experience care to share?
New baby is always cause for a new pair of Alden’s. Congratulations!There's not enough room in the budget for little ol' me AND somebody else to shod them with 30+ pairs of dress shoes
This has been my experience. Unlined chukka up a width, but tts. Suede loafer on Leydon ttsWhat shoe on Leydon are you considering?

Right, I recalled you were after something like these. I'd recommend true to size. If you go larger in length or width I'm fairly confident they'll be too big.Probably one of these but definitely not a Chukka:

I bought a new pair of Ravello boots off eBay & the seller offered me a pair of 'used' Color 4 WT boots. I had not owned 'used' footwear before, so didn't want to deal with the hygiene issues.View attachment 1565060
March 2021: The One That Got Away
Gentlemen, I wanted to kick off March 2021’s monthly topic. This is now our third monthly topic, and I expect that this one will bring out some fairly interesting stories. Take all the time that you need to think of your personal response, as you got all month to work on a post that suits you and captures your thoughts, so no need to rush to post a response today!
The theme is "The One That Got Away", what I mean by that phrase is which Alden did you either not pick up when you had the opportunity to (had to pass on), sold and now regret it, or something disastrous happened to them? I imagine most will be in the first of these categories, but tossed the third one in there in case someone's puppy chewed up their Color #4 Boot or UPS/FedEx lost their Brassvello LWB. They don't have to be a super exotic, it could be a good old classic as well.
Please reply to this post to make your responses easier to see. Thank you so much and I very much look forward to seeing everyone’s thoughts (and I am sure discussions) this month!

These look really cool!First arrival of 2021 has finally landed after a two week adventure to who knows where. The snuff 6 eyelet v-tip boot from Brogue. My first foray into v-tips and am really digging these.
