opinons on AE brown suede moras? - Page 2

i actually got the black in my normal size and didnt care for how they were bending within the toe box so i ended up returning them. oh and i guess i should add that they tore right at the strap the second time i was wearing them around.

anyone having a problem with bending inside the toe box?

Pictures, perhaps??

I received mine yesterday. I've tried them on and the fit is VERY nice. The shoe itself is also very elegant.

Can't wait to wear them!

moras are great. I wouldn't change the buckle, they look fine as they are. I don't have problems with creasing since mine are suede. One of the finest AE designs of recent years.

I got four wears out of a pair of suede Mora's before the strap with the buckle tore off.

I have a few pairs of AE's on the same last that fit well, the Mora's were not a great fit.

Just wore my suede Moras for the first time today and I have to say, they're much more elegant in person. I love them, and so did everyone else; I've never received more compliments on my shoes than I did today.

I get the most complements from my brown sharkskin Saratogas.

+1.

After reading this thread I share in the concern that the top strap is somewhat weak. Most monks have elastic where the strap meets/is attached to the upper. The Mora does not.

Nonetheless, I love mine and get many compliments on them.

Anyone know of any outlet stores that may still have them in 7.5 D?

Can anything be done to prevent strap from breaking?

Don't wear the shoes.

Thanks

there was a previous thread that mentioned someone had their cobbler replace their mora straps with elastic straps. anyone know if this an easy process?

Call the AE factory in Wisconsin.

+1 on the suede mora being a great looking shoe. Too bad the #8 last doesn't work for me.

+1,000,000

AHHHHHHHHH, I was trying on my Mora's and I must have pulled on the top strap too hard and the FRICKING buckle tore off!!!

Any help? Advice? What should I tell the cobbler to do??
