Grant Stone cap toe boot, Brogue Terra Nova, B&M Tanker. The Terra Nova is same leather as AOC 92, but slightly different toe cap on AOC (no perf) so they are different in my mind :)
I've still got four in the queue! Well, three boots, one loafer

any tips on sizing for boots? Im a 9.5E brannok.

9D barrie on non shell is too tight. Im thinking Trublance E, but not sure if that would accommodate a thicker sock

Trubulance is much easier to fit. I am 9.5C on the Brannock (maybe more like 9.75C) so I bought a 9D in Barrie that ends up being miserably tight on one of my feet and too short in the other. Some of this is having a long, high instep, but I can't imagine a 9.5 E Bannock getting stuffed inside a 9D Barrie. Sounds like a special kind of torture.

With Trubulance, there is so much room in the front, you can start to concentrate on fitting the heel. Chances are 9E will work for you. I think a thick sock might be fine, and you could use the sock to support the heel. Right now I am using a full length insert with a metatarsal pad or a full length orthotic and use a 10D in Trubalance, which I think shows you how much room there is in the boot, given my Brannock measurement.

I stopped by the SF store for a few minutes today, and really enjoyed looking around. They have a really cool plain-toe boot in nubuck that I think looks really good and would be sorely tempting if I wasn't over-loaded with boots. Kinda surprised there isn't more nubuck running with various stockists.

They have a couple of interesting things on their clearance shelves - a natty CXL longwing that would be mighty tempting if I didn't already own essentially the same shoe (apparently they have a full run of sizes from 7.5 or so up to 12) and what looks to be something identical or nearly so to the Leffot Naval Boot:

(a gratuitous pic of mine for reference - I'm actually wearing these tomorrow)

They only have 11.5 and 12 (I think), and I didn't catch how much off they were, but they looked nice, had some eggplantyness going on and the shell on the boot I held felt great.

Lastly, they had an interesting new makeup that I'm going to dub "The San Francisco All-Weather Stomper":

A three-eyelet chukka-derby with pebbled leather and commando soles. I believe this is Copley last, but whatever it is the profile is nicely sleek to my eyes. Dark brown, black and the above mid-brown pebbled leathers. I'm very twitchy about pebbled leathers for some reason, but these are pretty cool IMHO.

I managed to only walk out with some Leather Defender, but it's always great to visit the SF store... (which is the one that started my Alden journey...)

A cxl long wing sounds pretty awesome. Did you happen to catch what last they are on? (Please don't say Barrie!)
