Wow, that is an unbelieveably low price.  Are they someone's custom order that ended up being rejected, or are you referring to the walnut grain calf?

Clarksdb, those look really nice. You may have swayed my decision-making process. Two questions:

• How do they fit (say, compared to a 5-last like the Park Avenue)? Since they look very similar to a PA/5th Ave, I would assume that they fit similar.
• Would you ever consider wearing the burgandy Cliftons with jeans? Or do you find them a little dark for that?

Thanks!

Those look fantastic.  You couldn't ask for a better crease either!

The Macneil is one of AE's oldest styles, and has been produced in many different leathers and colors over the years by both AE as well as customs, so you may never really know for sure.  Quite a steal at that price though.

It's not quite a a rubber sole. If you go to AE's website and check out their combination tap sole, that's similar to what BB is offering.
