Do you have their pic of them? Can you post or PM me a link?

I am in DC and don't have my #8 Indys... But they are most likely Trubalance. Only others I am aware of are the Plazas and they would have commando soles, and thus would have the code HC instead of H. H means hooks, C means commando.

edit: oops sorry, meant to quote the original question on the last of the the indy 40568H.

They are Trubalance last, actually looking at one delivered this morning.

Nothing like a fresh pair of Alden #8

There you have it. They are Trubalance.

I called Shoe Mart earlier to place my order, the kind lady there said for whatever reason she couldnt place the boot into her cart and so she took down my info and would call me back to to confirm the order. She never did. Haha I am not holding my breath but does this mean they're out?

DUDE! Give some of us other 10D'ers a chance...   I wanted those damn it!

RTP, which one did you want?

I was just kidding. The brown chrmxl PTB intrigued me but I wasn't serious.

RTP, one of us is confused here. I picked up the #8 Dovers and the Natty CXL WT boot in 10D. I didn't purchase the Brown CXL PTB that I think was available in 10.5D. I bought those as firsts from LeatherSoul a month ago... ;-)

Thanks! It would be nice if they were in Barrie last. They list them in Barrie last on the seconds list

What is model "M3810HC" - the Shoe Mart photo isn't loading

I was wondering about that same pair, color #8 boot, commando sole, sounds interesting. I got the list about an hour after most and didn't even bother calling on it. Hopefully someone scored something nice.

Same situation. I got the order confirmation like an hour later. I placed my order at around 3:30

Anyone have a comparison photo between the shortwing boot in #8 on Barrie versus Plaza? Debating between the two boots...

Indeed, I've been searching extensively for the shell Indy in barrie last for a bit and seems the last batch was made back in 2012, cigar no less - what I wouldn't give to have a time machine. Saw a few references to Alden SF's color 8 being barrie, but nothing to confirm those were actually the last. Here's the 40568H next to a barrie lasted NST, same size.

So when did most people get the list? I didn't get it until after 5pm eastern. They must have a really archaic system for getting this thing out - almost as if they have to do it manually, person by person?!

Trubalance is such an ugly last in my opinion.
