Shoes that look better with age...

It's my opinion that the Trubalance and Barrie Last's run about the same...That being said I also wear the same size in the Grant Last allthough it's a bit more narrow in the toe area to me...When I start getting in the Leydon Last, Plaza Last Etc, I start sizing up a bit...

I can agree with that. It is mainly the toe area that of the grant that makes me want to go a size up.

This is the most succinct and, in my opinion, accurate summation of Alden sizing that I've read yet.

Really nice pair of boots unfortunately too small for me. Good condition, slight nick in leather lining (see photo). Original soles and heels and you can see from the photos they've been worn sparingly. Will look even better with age. UK size 9.5 length on sole is 12.5 inches, width 4.75 inches. Made in Italy.

I know I should just have put these on Supermarket but I thought they might go to a good home if I put them on this thread........if they don't sell they go to the Thrift shop!

Curious as to the difference between the Semi Dress/Bounty Hunter last and the traditional smoke jumper last. any answers out there?

The Bounty Hunter Model is the upper of a Smoke Jumper placed on the Semi Dress Last...Kinda like a hybrid of the 2 boots...

someone said that he feel little back pain with white's semi dress boots

even if standard single leather sole. because of the heels higher than

sneakers he usually use.

double mid sole + vibram out sole... Isn't it painful?
