Really appreciate your comment and I have just placed the order. I believe it should be the leydon last (typo earlier…not van last) that is on the suede chukka. Both leydon last and Aberdeen I am wearing u.s 7 and from what I read I should size down half a size. I remember I have tried Barrie in 6.5 few years back and stockist here no longer have this size. I have heard about bloom but never actually seen one and it has never developed on my NST. I guess the shop really have it store in the box for an extensive period of time. Again thank you for answering and have a pleasant weekendThey look great. That circled stuff is called bloom, very easy to brush off. It’s just oil from the shell cordovan, very normal. 6.5 Barrie should work, most size down 1/2 size vs. Aberdeen. Are you talking Vans the skate shoes brand or Van last?
Just got my color 8 plain toe boots resoled back from Aram, which was the first time using his services after seeing other users suggest him. Absolutely thrilled with how they came out. They look almost new despite being from 2018. These were originally AoC AF53A, which were resoled prior by someone else so I could ditch the commando soles. I had Aram put them on black neocork (a sole I still think is way underutilized with make ups imo)
You’ll have to excuse the bad indoor lightning but these do have the nice eggplant color in sunlight.

Thank you! Neocork and waterloc are my two favorite soles from Alden. I just wish the neocorks were used more often in dealer makeups since outside of icy conditions it is really versatile and way better than commando imo.I would not have thought to pair the black neocork with color 8, but it looks fantastic here! I would love to see pics in the sunlight if you get a chance.
I looked up Aram's shop - he does some sophisticated work - this is great information - thank you!3 cheers for Aram!
Also just got back some boots from Aram. He converted my double leather soles (11 years old) to double waterlock and starburst heels. His work is flawless from what I can tell.
