For those who have both Trubalance last Aldens and Tremont last Aldens....do you wear the same size in both with good fit? What about Barrie last?

Please please don't send me to that chart/picture of last shapes..

I've never worn the Tremont last, but I own stuff in both the Barrie and Trubalance lasts, and I would say that I wear the same size in both. However, the Barrie fits me a lot better than the Trubalance does, the Trubalance is just a really wide last and fits me loose at the heel.

Thinking of picking up a pair of the 920s in dark brown calfskin... what's the best place to buy them?

Took some pics of my Whiskey PTBs in action with a variety of lighting...when I first got them I was a bit disappointed by the color as they seemed flat, but then I waxed and polished them and now I love the way they look. Wonderful with jeans and they have this slightly reddish hue to them that looks lovely.

I pre-ordered a pair of the Summer Oxford in tan after these sold out last summer. Since then I've just tried to be patient. But after all this waiting I've built up large expectations for them. I still think they have the potential to change my summer.
