I'm trying to find something < $300 that has a clean moc-toe and a nice shape. I don't like the split-toe look of the AE's, but might be willing to deal with it if I can find one where the split toe is very subtle.
I'm thinking of this Meermin, but not sure that I want to gamble on it fitting with the cost of shipping and returns.

These LaSalles are pretty ugly I think:

Not sure I understand what you are looking for.  That Meermin is also a split toe and has a very rounded toe (Rui last).  If you are looking for something sleeker than the Delray or without a split toe, that Meermin is not it.

I just ordered a pair of Williams seconds and a pair of Elgin I found for $150.  They will be my fourth and fifth pairs of AE!!

Is there any sort of return policy with seconds?  I'm assuming that since they are "seconds" and therefore have imperfections, that there would be no returns allowed.

Where'd you get the Elgin for that cheap?

Unworn and within 30 days I believe.  Check with shoebank before placing order.

^^^Beautiful collection!

I have a pair of Strands in 11B and they fit great.  If I'm going from those (5 last) to a pair of Bayfields that are on the 1 last, would I need to change the sizing/width at all?  I would try them on, but it will likely be an online purchase.
