Thanks. I have tried in the past an unlined LHS in the same Barrie size and was good - I tried it with a very thin sock though and it was unlined hence my hesitation about a 1/2 size up with the lined model. Thanks a lot.

Most people take their Barrie size in Van.

For years I sized up on Van but have since course-corrected and now go with Barrie. Fit works much better.

Staying with the last/sizing theme, anyone size Plaza same as Barrie?

I do, for loafers.

Yenni recommends Barrie size and width for plaza loafers. That resulted in a very tight fit under the strap on one of my two pairs. Next time I do Barrie size and up one width from B to C.

Thanks guys. I was actually hoping for insight on non-loafers.

One of my favorite makes and one of the few models that for some reason seems to look better in black than 8.

Those nst monk straps I wore today are on plaza. I wear those and plaza boots TTS (for me, 13-B), not Barrie

Watching “Last Crusade” for the 1000th time.

We always focus on Indy’s boots, but Dr. Henry Jones Sr. wears a fine pair of PCTs.

Last Crusade is the BEST movie. I will admit that I do like #4

I liked it, too. #4 is no more ridiculous than any of the others (even though it gets a bad rep.)...

The special effects at the end were particularly bad. But, #4 was better than Temple of Doom, which is nearly unwatchable now, particularly for the racism.

I'm looking forward to the new one.

And I would suspect that Dr. Henry Jones, given his heritage, would be wearing Crockett & Jones, Edward Green, Church's, or Alfred Sargent, all in operation since the 1870s-90s.

Oh they are all rather ridiculous, but the are just movies .....and I like giant carnivorous ants, even if they are on the wrong continent, and no where near the real thing...The crystal skull thing is one of the ancient alien things, so maybe.....

Temple of Doom was a lousy movie when released, just a bad movie...regardless of the "racism", and it is a MOVIE, so stereotypes should not matter....WOKE sentiments have no business in entertainment
