Ive got a chance to order a pair of limited run Alden Tankers made on the Barrie last. Problem of course is no Alden dealer near me and no idea what size to order , or if i should even risk ordering wrong size. Im between 10.5-11D on a brannock device with high arch/instep. Im still trying to figure out my trubalance size at the moment. Do any of u wear true to size or size down for this last?

You are almost certainly going to want to size down. My feet are similar in size to yours, except I run closer to an E. I have AE Bowery boots (same last as the Higgins Mill) in 10.5 E. Chippewa 10.5 E also (having a little extra space for thicker socks is nice). I have had Aldens in the past made on the Barrie, and I can comfortably wear a 10 in either D or E width.

For reference, I'm 10D-E and the 9.5D Barrie fits like a charm.
