Does anyone know off the top of their head what last Brooks Brothers used for their cordovan PTB? Was it the barrie? or their own design?

I would think: denim, tan khakis, light gray, etc...

It's not the Barrie, but it fits very similarly. The name of it escapes me. Worked there for 9 years, but it's been awhile and I'm getting old, ha.

Are we back to sizing questions? I mostly wear Chuck Taylors and I'm a size 14 on my left foot and a 11 EEE on my right foot...

He just means wear them indoors on carpet for a while to make sure they fit before you wear them on concrete.

The office moves to business casual during the summer and I need a light tan pair of loafers to wear with khakis or light colored dress pants. I was thinking a nice pair of whiskey loafers like the ones below. Do the whiskey loafers darken with age? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
