Dear Tom,
How does the plaza last typically compare to the barrie last? I wear a UK size 8 in most dress shoes and am thus tempted to go with the size 9 in these. With an insole I wear a 9.5D in red wings and they fit just right. Thanks in advance.
Sincerely, Mark

Mark,
The Plaza doesn’t have as much volume as the Barrie. It is narrower in the mid foot area. It does run long as well, but due to the squared off toe shape, some people take 1/2 size larger than the Barrie.
As far as sizing versus RWs, I’m sorry but I don’t have any experience with them.
Aloha!
Tom

Tom would like the wing boot, could you compare fittment with the EG 606 please. Most likely in #8 shell.

Olav,
A 9/9.5E 606 will fit similarly to a 9.5D Plaza. It will not be 100% similar though.
Aloha,
Tom
