Barny Nakhle

[coldomatic]

its not leather treatment. the whole shoe is covered by foil paper (painted in black). after the foil paper is peeled off, the leather underneath is good as new. its the Benjamin Button of black derbies. i replaced the shoes lace with CCP's. definitely a talking piece.

I have the similar derbies in crac calf. Do you have the problem with the out-soles wearing thin very quick especially around the toes? like after a few wears. And the leather strip nailed on the soles became loose and and flappy around the part where the sole is wearing off.

How does Barny Nakhle sizing go? Is it true to size or smaller as with Guidi footwear?

[Faust]

True to size.

I picked up a pair almost 2 years ago at l'eclaireur, the derby version of the boot in the first image. I've enjoyed wearing them very much, they wear in quite well. The painted finish was what attracted me to them.

Does anyone know how to pronounce Barny Nakhle?

If I'm not mistaken, Barny is just like Barneys sans s. Is Nakhle just like the word knuckle?
