Maximo & P-nut Mom - Thanks! I really appreciate you telling me the Marine has really soft leather, too.
Last night, I ordered Marine (blue) in a size 3.5 for Sparky from W. Fields site. Cannot wait to see it on our boy!
His size 3 BB2 is just a bit snug (2nd hole from the tip), so the half-size with bigger leg openings should be perfect.
