Leydon is like a smaller version of the Barrie.Originally Posted by LeatherSOUL
Do you mean narrower? A size 10 barrie is a smaller version of a size 10.5 barrie...Well, shorter I guess, do the widths also scale down with smaller sizes? A size 7D is narrower than a size 10D isn't it?

HELP - Alden Shop, NYC?
I will be in Midtown for a couple of days and will have at most two hours to run over to the Alden Shop in NYC - New Yorkers, what can I expect? Do they have a lot of special make ups? I can get standard shoes from my local shop, so I'm looking to shoot in there and grab something unique - what are my odds of finding something interesting?
Thank you in advance.

10D Barrie = 10.5D Leydon. Fit should be similar.

Tried the usual options for the navy suede PTB 9D and no luck. They have some in stock at Alden Madison Ave but not in my size. Again, if someone knows where I can get a pair I would appreciate you letting me know.
