I wanted a pair as well, but no 11.5D available

I preordered several months ago! This waiting game can be taxing.

Filthy day in a warehouse.

Thank you Mr. Iron.

Great minds think alike.

If you think an 11d might work for you, I just picked up a pair of #8 LWBs with antique edge on waterloc sole from Leffot that I would be willing to pass along at cost

Nice pairs across the board. Makes me want to sell my NST saddles and pick these up.

Happy Thursday! Just got these shoes in the mail last night!

Not a style we see much. Alden saddle shoes in color 8! Something totally new to my closet.

Still figuring out the fit on the Barrie last.

Kind of a X-post from another thread, but hope you get Barrie nailed down. Those are keepers!!! Color 8 is such a neat color. Are those "used" as they look like they may be getting lighter than new (current) color 8.

Is there any way that if I wear an 11.5C in Hampton/Aberdeen that I would wear an 11D in Barrie? These saddles are an 11C.

I feel as though the heel cup portion of the shoe extends higher or is digging in a bit into my Achilles tendon a bit. The toe box also feels a tad bit snug. They are used shoes as well... Thoughts?

Happy Thursday gents! Cambridges in the office for me today. I hope you all have a great one as we head into the weekend!

Edit: Wrong thread - sorry fellas! It's here now, so might as well leave it. I added a spoiler since non-Alden...

Spoiler: Non-Alden... oops

Thanks! I am trying to figure out the Barrie. See my post above!

I think they're an older style because of the tongue style. Saddles shoes are really cool. These feel a bit snug on me.

They look beautiful, shell doesn't loosen up like CXL, so maybe thinner socks???
