I got the USPS email that they're on route, so I'll post pics when I get them. Jordan from Winn Perry advised me to size 1/2 down from my Indy size (9D)... so let's hope it fits.Originally Posted by arrow
indy and barrie are supposed to be the same fit. good luck.

can anyone who has boots on the barrie last comment on how they fit relative to other shoes? some have said to go half size down, but i'm wondering if i should go TTS considering i'll likely wear thicker socks than i would with regular dress shoes
any insight is appreciated

I say go 1/2 down. I'm a 12 in most dress shoes, 11.5D in Alden Indy and Barrie last, Red Wing GT and White's. I can wear quite thick Smartwool socks in my Context Tankers (Barrie last) and have plenty of room. TTS for me would be far to big.

Tom - loving the new Indy shoe, that is very cool!Originally Posted by slide13
Thanks! It was in hiding for about 30 years or so. It used to be part of Alden's stock range.
