Is it even worth the effort for me to take a shot at the Bancrofts in 11E on STP?
The only reason I am considering it is because of their return policy.

Thanks,

I would have tried the 11.5, rather than 11. Recall too that the PAs are on a more elongated last than the Bancrofts.

Why are they only available in black?

No 11.5 left. I am still on the fence.

Thanks all,

I know, I know. I'm probably still going to jump on them, though.

Remember, since these are Euro sizes you probably take .5 size down.

Over on AAAC, it was confirmed that they are US sizes.

I don't know - the Euro sizing would make sense. Mine are quite large.

There is NO WAY that is an AE
...

Damn. Bloody bit better looking than a lot of their typical rubbish (and I own three pairs - it is not like I am one of those AE haterz, yo)...

Funny I was told that AE never made a wide shoe for the European Market and if they did it would of been marked F. Any other rumors out there? I bought a 9E and 9.5E.
