Raining here, so great day to break out my brand new Alden Indy's in Chromexcel (J Crew version). Only my 2nd time wearing them and already in love.

How do these shoes compare to the Barrie last? These definitely need to be in my collection. (one day :rolleyes:)

They are just a bit snugger than the Barrie last. A little narrower at the widest part of my foot and a little less toe room (height in the toe box). I'd say that the lengths are very similar though.

My best advice is if your Barrie last shoes fit a little on the snug side, go up a half size for the RL Marlow Wingtips compared to the Barrie last. If you have a comfortable/roomy fit on the Barrie last, go with the same size.

I wear size 11 D's in both my Alden PTB's and these, but the Alden PTB's are slightly more comfortable, although they fit snug. I can't wear very thick socks with either pairs of shoes though.

"Got Shoes?"
Thanks Ben. I wear a 9E in Barrie so I taking into the consideration your assessment that the Marlow runs a bit narrower. I'm thinking 9.5D may be the way to go for the Marlow.
