Thanks to everyone for your advice on sizing for the loafers. I should be receiving them this week. Hopefully all goes well. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Birthday to everyone that's celebrating their birthday. I just celebrated my Dirty 30 earlier this year. I figured 30 was a good time to get started on some high quality footwear. I aspire to have a well-rounded collection half as nice as most of yours on here, someday.

Good luck - take your time building your collection so that you can have a bunch of great fitting shoes that you love. It's tempting to grab everything that comes your way, but trust me it's more expensive to buy and have to sell later for poor fit than to wait!

I haven't found a collection of orthopedic shoes which is more comfortable and reliable.......
So just wearing B&M Davis boots to check flower beds after 1.5 inches of rain in 24 hrs.

Checked in with Adam today about a pre-order; sounds like the factory is running behind. So, I'd plan on waiting an extra month or two if you've got a pre-order in the works before worrying.

Thanks for the advice. I definitely will take that into consideration. I just got really excited when I saw that TSM had my size for the factory seconds loafers. I might have jumped the gun, but hopefully it works out. If not, I can always return them.

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

Trubalance is very generous as far as fit is concerned. If you brannock at an E then an E width TB boot should have plenty of room for thick socks.

Thank you. Definitely one of my favorite shoes for sure. If you ever get a chance to snag a pair, I highly recommend it.
