    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    Anyone have personal experience on how stretchy the Buckaroo leather is? Compared to CXL? Would the EE shoes stretch out enough to accommodate a EEE/EEE foot?

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    Given how long it takes to get them, most people would've forgotten what you've said. (I just tried to order a "ready made" pair of camp mocs, and a pop-up informed me that it'd take 4 weeks!)

    I'd pick up a pair of the brown/white ones in a heart beat if it were available in my size. I won't defend the black/red ones, but then again, I'm not really into black boots.

    There's something off about those chukka boots. Maybe it's the angle of the shot, but the flaps look like they're too close together, and the four pairs of eyelets just look strange to me (the exposed metal grommets don't help either).

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    When I asked them last year (an email and a call), I was told to order everything in the same size because they've made their lasts that way. Which, as we know in this thread, isn't 100% true. At least not for everyone.

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    You're essentially paying the same price and same delivery schedule, but with the possibility of more options? That's interesting. I guess I'll have to make it a point to visit the physical store the next time I'm in Maine.

    RANCOURT & Co. Shoes - Made in Maine

    I'm curious - I keep reading about people ordering their custom Rancourts through PDG. Are there any good reasons to do so?

    Could be the angle, but the front quarters(?) look very uneven - look at the distance between the brogueing and the soles. Also the strange markings above the left heel.

    I could've sworn they said something about doing this "shells are only MTO" thing a year or two ago. Anyone else remember that? Or have I just inhaled too much of the new shoe vapours?

    Looks like the Strand, but unlined and more casual.

    New site (2 weeks old) + broken English + pictures lifted directly from AE's website + no way to contact them except through email? I wouldn't touch it with someone else's ten-foot pole.

    The Allen Edmonds MTO Thread

    I'm almost embarrassed to post these given all the fantastic creations above... But here goes: Mojave with golden brown CXL. I was going for a better version of Clark's desert boots, and I think it's mission accomplished.

    I slip my AE Lubbock on/off without bothering with the buckles. I do use a shoe horn to put them on though.

    I love chukka boots (I own five pairs of AE chukkas, and in the process of buying another pair). But there's just something about the brogueing on them that's a turn-off for me, especially the bits on the heel.

    I've ordered them a couple of times when they were on backorder, and they were shipped within a week. Which isn't to say that the same thing will happen to you... but rather that I think they're very conservative on their expected ship dates.

    My natural CXL ranger mocs have gotten a little darker after a few months of wear. (No maintenance beyond wiping down with damp cloth.)

    Anyone knows what the deal is with the Mojave chukkas? They were introduced a few months ago, and are apparently now on clearance ($177). Surprisingly short time for a non-webgem model.

    Good to hear you had a good experience there. I may have to give them another chance. (I visited them a few times, got ignored the first time, adequate/polite service the other times, and got the hairy eyeball when I returned a pair of seconds there.)

    Would this be the Reston store, or is there a new manager at the Connecticut Ave store?

    Calling all LLBean Katahdin Iron Works Boots owners

    Some people do. They (LLBean) know it and are, at least for now, putting up with it. Here's a recent NPR story on their return policy.
