In my experience they are about the same. I have worn the Rogue (201) and the Regent Street in the 108. I found the Regent Street to feel slightly longer but the vamp was very similar. If the 108 works for you I do not believe you will have any issues with the 201 last. There can be some fit issues as even shoes made on the same last can feel different, but you should be fine.

Great, thanks. I should be able to wear my regular size then. 2017 will be the year of the Hopkinson.

FYI, the Freiburgs are not quite extinct yet. The official AE ebay account has a few new ones.

I hope so. I ordered a Hopkinson for myself in the same size as the Rogue. Both on the same 201. The Hopkinson was far tighter than the Rogue and had to be returned. Same old fit problem story and trying to do things through the mail since a) there is no local store and b) the one store 75 miles away usually has 0-3 shoes in my size, none of which are the ones I want.

Looks like the Higgins Mill is now on the AE website along with 2 other new models. That Higgins Mill is amazing!

Woah, NEW Cheetah for only $149.

Navy Oak Street is also tempting, but the sole looks a bit weird on it.

Oak Street Navy, should have made it with a double oak sole. The Black Kudu, as anyone who owns the Normandy, is super supple.

Shelton on the 201? sounds interesting enough to want to see/try in person.

Higgins Mill: very nice, someone should get one made up in shell.

I'll wait for the Bayfield.

Some pictures of AE's I've been wearing lately: dark chili Carlyle's, walnut Strands, and navy Banchory's

A few more: brown Longbranch, walnut Jefferson's (my favorite pair), tan Ashbury's, and snuff suede Amok's:

@ace13x I saw the black/burgundy Shelton 2.0 in the store. Definitely a little ticked they switched to 201 - looks better than 511 and would have fit me better too, I would have waited and passed on the 1.0. They looked good.

I'm impressed with the lineup of new shoes.
I was especially happy to see that they're bringing out new colors and leathers for the Oak Street. I have that shoe and it's one of my favorites.

Regent Street is on the 234 last, same as Amok.

Lookalike AE is buying into the current Viberg inspired fad of dark shoes with light sole edges, but a couple of years late. Hopefully it'll pass soon...

I had the same issue with the 201. I was told it is because the Rogue is a Blucher and the Hopkinson is a Balmoral so the fit is wider on the Rogue making it fit a 1/2 shorter.

Yep looks like it! And a Navy Oakstreet is loaded as well. I am guessing that is a more causal shoe? I have the Navy Cronmok, Neumok, Strand and Cornwallis....but I blue is my favorite color! Tempting but I only need dressy shoes.

Sneaker sale! If you missed the Brisbane during the Anniversary sale this one is a better price at $149!

Ooh, I like that Academy in Natural Chromexcel. Any info on the 2321 last? It's not on their lasts page,
