I bought them back when they were a catalog item for about 1/3 of then retail price.
Never wore those Fairfaxes outside due to funky shape, though.
Suppose one can take them for a whirl wearing a pair of jeans.

Just polarizing enough for me to like it. Time to call AE!

I bought a pair in Chesnut and shortly thereafter decided they are not my cup of tea. Actually, not a fan of wholecuts in general and the last does not fit my foot well. I'm thinking if posting them in BS.

I have them in black, chestnut and merlot and I get compliments often. The chestnut pair receives the most notice, followed by the merlot, and then the black. The shoes look very nice when worn with dressier clothing. I don't regret purchasing them at all.

What do you think would be a more appropriate shoe for somebody in their 20's? The Fairfax, or the Bel Air Wingtip, either in black color?

What I think of all other AE shoes --- BORING!

I own two pairs BTW.
