I first noticed them about a year ago.  Not sure how long they were out before that.

I just mean that I wear them frequently without much regard to weather and other impactful elements.  I don't baby them like I do my Ravello LWB.  I don't actually play basketball, golf, or hike in them.

I figured that. I would still have a hard time not babying them anyway.

Looking fairly close to your native color of choice (at least in this pic)...  Maybe a great shoe to wear to tailgating and cocktail parties on Saturday afternoons in the fall in Austin.

Very tempting.  And the price isn't outrageous (still a bit high).  I don't think I got a chance to try the military last.  But I see Lakota House has ordered up to size 11.  That could be a good sign.

Does anyone have experience buying multiple sizes for the same model shoe tree?  (Woodlore, Jos. A, Allen Edmonds, Alden).  I take a medium, but am wondering how much bigger a large is?

 

Is it a big difference? or a small difference?  

 

The Mediums seem like they could stand to be bigger, but not drastically.

 

 

Thanks.

Follow Up:

The Larges ended up being great in terms of width and volume, but they were just a hair too long.  If they were a half cm shorter they would have been perfect.  Ultimately, they don't fit in my 9D Hampton/Aberdeens.

Just thought I would mention in case anyone wants to use my experience as a proxy for determining their own size.

just for laughs....saw these unusual aldens on ebay
