No, in fact some find the Barrie boot roomier than the shoe.

Thank god they have long sold out of my size.

Mac, as always great shells. I'd love to see a collection post at some point but we all know that would require you to take a week off of work.

Indeed, but the Mac method is posted and reblogged all over SF.

In a nutshell, the mac method calls for NO polish but instead emphasizes the value of cleaning cordovan shoes with a damp cloth, followed by vigorous horsehair brushing and buffing with a flannel cloth--the guiding philosophy being that cordovan is naturally lustrous and that colored paste will eventually dull the natural sheen of the leather

^They would look great above your wall of Alden's at the Waikiki store.


Arizor: As mentioned, fantastic boots! Could you snap some more pictures of them so we could see all the character those have?

Leathersoul Saddles.

Thanks again to Tom for the great make-up and thanks to REguy/Jason for trading me for a pair that fit MUCH better than my previous pair. We both won!
