The Brogues

I was at my local pub quiz the other night when my friend noticed that I was wearing a pair of Barker Rainham shoes. He told me that he had seen a number of barker shoes and had been wanting to buy a pair of Barker Jupiter shoes. But because he knew of no stockists nearby, and was unsure of sizing, he hadnt been able to puchase a pair. So I told him about my experiences with Barkers, and informed him that Barker shoes are either true to size or come up slighty big in size. When purchasing Barker shoes you should never go up in size. I remember when my brother bought a pair of Barker Rex Mens Shoes off the internet for a job interview. For some reason, he decided to go a size up, and they were far too big. He does have broad feet, but the Barker Rex shoe is available in a G fitting which is a wide barker shoe fitting that offers plenty of room for people with broad feet. Barker shoes also come in F and FX fitting which are narrower than the Barkers G fitting, with the FX fitting being slightly broader than the F fitting.  So just to recap – don’t go a size up in Barkers and Don’t buy Trainers
