Likely the truffle (AKA cappuccino) will not be available. Lighter color shell is hard to come by, it has to be perfect before you start with few blemishes and it takes 6 months for Horween to produce. Because of the increased demand the rarer browns are harder to come by for both AE and Alden. It never hurts to ask however.

Left top to bottom: walnut, black, #8. Right top to bottom truffle (cappuccino), dark brown.

Left to Right: dark brown, cigar, truffle, walnut. This is all of the brown shell colors offered in the last couple of years by AE that I am aware of.

Hi, new to Styleforum as of today!

I'm curious when you say you have the "Bourbon samples".  What do you mean by "samples"?  And how did you come about acquiring them?

Thanks!

My local outlet store carries "salesman samples" all in size 9D.  They seem to generally be models in different leathers and colors that are not widely available, and may have been test make ups.  The sales associate said they order them periodically and have no idea what they will receive, just a random assortment.  Another member posted here about it, so I went and checked, and found the Bourbon Neumora.

Is this an old advertisement or is this for the upcoming release?  If it's for the upcoming release, MORE INFO PLEASE!

Just picked up a pair of Strands, and after a few hours of wear around the office I've noticed they are creasing in front of the toe cap.  I know creasing is inevitable in the area behind the toecap, but I was under the impression that creasing in front of the cap is indicative of a problem.  They fit very comfortably, and I was sized by the AE store, so I wouldn't think they are an improper fit.  Insight

At this stage, all the creases are minor.  If the creasing in front of the toe cap gets worse, then that would be a cause for concern.  Contrary to popular belief, the AE staff do not always perform proper fittings.  Like many shoe stores, AE focuses on heel to toe measurements which can leave you a little short.
