@Aggi try to test a pair, cos I found Barker can be hit and miss on whether they cut your ankles to shreds. Happens on my high-polish oxfords, and also to a friend on a suede pair I gave him. Probably you'll be fine, just manipulate the topline/counter/back.
@hugo7 @coppiThat fair points.
Found the post 10 pages back, these bad boys. I don't think I've worn them more than once in the last 9 months since that photo. They have had maybe 7 days use in total. Bought in Germany in TK Maxx, worn a few days there and then once in London before buying a pair of Chapman&Moore because it was raining and I didn't want to ruin the leather on this pair.
