     Glenda is awesome. She doesn't do wedding dresses anymore either. I've taken suits, shirts, pants, everything into her. She will tell me when not to waste my time and how to do it right. One time I needed suit sleeve shortened. She did most of it from the shoulder because of the working...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    Reflecting on this and reviewing my own thought, I realize that my bals are always"sleeker" than my bluchers. Is this not a truth, conventional wisdom, or actually the way things are? Thinking about construction, it seems like a reasonable enough rule of thumb.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I love my Daltons, and I don't think they are particularly wide boot, but I would not call them sleek. As the leather on the boot naturally stretched, I wish I had a narrower shoe, but that really depends on your foot. I wear a D-width, but don't have a particularly full foot. That said, I get...

    Got fitted at Allen Edmonds store, but still not sure about size

    This sounds so strange to me. They should have fitted you to several different shoes on several lasts. You want to know what size you are in the last (or 2) that best fits your foot. Go in again (I know you said it's an hour away) and get the right size in several lasts. You might be a 12E in...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

     This. I'm just going to add that if it's not the right last for your foot, don't buy the shoe. Yeah, you can get it stretched or whatever, but IMO if the shoe doesn't fit, don't get it. PERIOD. I won't comment further on bal vs bluchers fit. I guess I don't have that problem so am...

    Ideas for color combinations for business casual - sticking to greens, blacks and grays

     From a personal style perspective, sounds like you have it figured out. Go with it.

    Ideas for color combinations for business casual - sticking to greens, blacks and grays

    As a consultant myself, your work wardrobe is partly dictated by the type of clients, regions and the firm you work for. If you are an auditor for a big 4, you're not going to want Chelsea boots. If you are a technical consultant in silicon valley, it matters much less, you'll be better dressed...

    Shoe trees go in the shoes as soon as I have them. That's where they just go. Otherwise, why would I take up twice the space? Do they have to go in new shoes? Probably not. Would I intentionally keep them out of the shoes for that reason just to take up more space in the closet? Pfft. (Sarcasm...

    My Allen Edmonds Experience - Looking for Alternatives

    Assuming you are in Brooklyn NYC, I'd suggest looking through the link provided by Turk, then seeing if you can find shops in NYC to try stuff on. I have finicky feet, so getting the wrong last will produce horrifying results. Get a shoe that fits first, get the best shoe you can afford second...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

     I have 65 bluchers (Bradley) and balmorals (Park Ave). They both fit me the same. There is some small variation in each shoe that could account for different experiences, and all my AE shoes are shells, so I don't think they stretch like calf does. If the shoes hurt your feet after a few...
