    THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

    I could be wrong but when I asked about width the answers I got in my case were a 9D and an 8.5E were the same width equivalent. I found that when I tried those on they were similarly floppy, I didn’t sense an overwhelming improvement with the heel. That said, if your heel is locked at this...

    THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

    Wanted to share my LHS Van sizing experience in hopes it may help others. A couple weeks back in the thread about sizing variance between leathers (thanks for responses!). Generally folks will size the same for cordovan as they would for suede. Some did suggest that their shoes fit differently...

    THE OFFICIAL ALDEN THREAD FOR 2020 - SHARE REVIEWS, SIZING, ADVICE, AND PHOTOS.

    Has anybody noticed any discernible difference in fit between suede ULP and cordovan LHS, both in Van last? I got the 986 recently and can’t help but feel like my ULP suede hugs my heel much better and the 986 has some annoying slippage. Admittedly the break in consists of moping around my tiny...

    So I'm a 2nd time customer of Jason's and just wanted to reiterate his service. Went with a charcoal conservative cut, first time I received it it was navy. Second time I received it there was a large, odd roll in the shoulders that didn't correct after pressing. Third time was a charm...

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

    I'm sick of trying on shoes in the 5 last. Really looking at the 5th Ave. I'm in Louisville so there are no AE stores around. Tried on 10C, 10D, 9.5D and 9D and none of them feel right. Measured a 10C on the AE size guide. I feel like I have heel slippage in all of them. Is that to be...

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     i've done this before. went through the effort to clorox bleach the hell out of it and see if it would help. still a hint of raunch left in that shaker despite the efforts. probably should have just taken the $6 loss and thrown it away haha

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     yes. i developed an awful aching in my hip flexors over time and couldn't squat more than 135 without pain. one day it just hit me that i should roll those out and see if it helps. instant healing no pain when squatting. i just roll for maybe 5 minutes tops every day to get loose, do a...

     Thought the same thing myself. While encouraging, the number I got back on the caliper test just did not seem physically reasonable. In terms of variance/margin of error... what's the range on caliper tests?

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I've been training at a crossfit gym for 6 months now, and i think we have a pretty strong culture of not being cocksuckers. I don't actually do the crossfit wods (theres a powerlifting sector that I jumped into from day one), but I think you're accurate here. To me crossfit is like...

    Clarks Desert Boots

     Probably closer to need supply, but not nearly as brown looking as they are in the photos. the color is probably best depicted on zappos, though for whatever reason nobody seems to capture the actual color

    Clarks Desert Boots

     any time, got mine delivered today as they promised kind of a mix of both. some pics make it look REALLY green, some almost like a pale grey. IRL, very much an earth tone grey/green. probably more green that they are grey though. not sure if that helps answer your question at all. i...

    Clarks Desert Boots

    just bought olive leather DB's on endless.com. listed as $89.99, plus a 25% off promotion going on for boots so ended up being about $72 after tax. free 2 day shipping. did some research on endless.com, apparently owned by amazon and had good reviews so fingers crossed...

     lol @ this, but having trained martial arts i know that this is sometimes done to simulate taking a punch and developing a tolerance per se. not saying there is any TRUE merit behind that, since the best way to train taking a punch is to take punches. but, these guys may have thought...
