    Beautiful collection Sir! I love the NST boot. I wear 9.5D in the Barrie and it fits perfectly. I ordered a 10D in the Plaza last and while the width seemed fine, they seemed to run long and my foot would slide a bit. Especially with thinner socks. In your opinion, should I try a 9.5D in the Plaza, or maybe try the Aberdeen last in a 10D? I own the Tanker (9.5D Barrie last) in black shell cordovan, but it looks so much nicer in the Plaza last. My apologies for being long winded, I just wanted to pick your brain. Cheers!

      Interesting, the traditional logic is to go 9.5D Barrie and then 10D Plaza or Aberdeen. You could try 10D Aberdeen, it should be just a pidge narrower than the Plaza as the Aberdeen is Alden’s narrowest last. You could alternatively seem out and try a 10C on Plaza to see how that feels. I personally feel like enough people don’t explore widths frequently enough.

    Thank you Mike. I worried about going down in width though, as the boot fit well width-wise. It was the length that seemed to be the issue. My foot had more space in the toe box of the boot with the Plaza last. That’s why I was considering dropping to a 9.5D. The Aberdeen may solve that issue being the narrower last. But I do like the look of the Plaza last better… LOL! Thanks again.
    -Will.

      Unfortunately, to my knowledge, this boot has only been offered by Brick and Mortar in Seattle. To get a Chukka boot in general, you could try one of the major NYC stores including Alden Madison and Leffot.
