        Also, what is the difference between the Turbulence Last as opposed to the Barrie Last in your experiences? Any and all hell would be much appreciated!

          Nice teaser pics from LeatherSoul. Hopefully, they will have a few pairs at the Waikiki store so I can check them out in person.

          I don't have a Barrie so I cannot make a direct comparison but the general consensus is that sizing is pretty much the same between the two lasts. Check this link as a general guide. The Trubalance definitely feels half a size bigger than my Plaza. Had to put in an insole in my Indy boot to get them snug.

            Hey Landon… I have a couple of TruBalance, Barrie and Aberdeen last boots.

            Aberdeen:  Very sleek look, dressy, narrow and pointed.  I have to wear thin socks and half-insole.
            Barrie:  More room in the width, comfortable. I can wear full insole with no fit issues.
            TruBalance: Ahhh, the most comfortable. Widest to accommodate flat footed peeps (like me).
                                I've used my Indy's for straight hiking into Redwood Trees.

            I'm 9D on Brannock Device and I wear 9D on all my Aldens.

                Hey Dexter…
                I get all my insoles from this store in SF (On the Run)
                http://www.ontherunshoes.com/support.htm

                Sadly, the one I always get is not available online.
                A staff told me that they designed it themselves and made in Germany.

                      Yep, the Trubalance last ist by far the most comfortable last.

                      The Indys rock every Barrie lasted shoe e.g. the Chukka or anything in comfort.

                      But I also have to say that they might look a bit clunky - jut a bit, nothing to worry about, but its true.

                        Uh oh, look what I just bought… After seeing Beatle's this past weekend in person and hearing about how comfortable they are from everyone else who as just gotten theirs delivered, I thought I would call up Context. They had one last 11D and I bit the bullet. Shipping out to me tomorrow. Looking like I am gonna have to dig into the stash and head down to LA to sell some things... But I am very excited to get these on!

                            Thanks Pete but if anyone is jealous of someone else's Alden collection, it is Me being jealous of yours!

                              Nice pick up Lando. I guess since you called and they juuuust happen to have one in your size, its a sign! How can you pass that up!  😉

                                So I will be in LA at some point next week and as LSBH will be opening on Monday the 10th, I would like some more info if anyone has it on these. What last did they use? Are they at all like the "Little Tanks" from Winn Perry? Someone has some info….

                                      Well actually tracking says by Thursday but that is not far away. I am inquiring because if they are the same last as the Roy's I might sell my "Little Tanks" and grab these… The toe box on these ans the Roy's seems bigger than my "Little Tanks."

                                          Thanks Dexter_, I have not been keeping up with the SF Alden thread which is where I assume those quotes are coming from. Thank you! If/ when I get down to LA I will get flicks for all.
