I agree with this. I have a pair of Fifth Avenues that had a lump under the ball of my left foot. I've worn these a lot, and the lump is still there. It's more annoying than painful so I have continued to wear them, but likely this will never go away.
I purchased the last Verona in my size from the Italian collection awhile back and the left shoe had 3 bumps in the footbed. One was very large and painful so I returned them.Incidentally, the lumps I have encountered have been in the left shoe as well - almost every time .
Kirby has a chart on his website matching colors to Allen Edmonds shoes: http://www.hangerproject.com/blog/allen-edmond-shoe-polish-colors IME yes if you want a deeper red the Bordeaux would be the best match.What color Saphir Pate de Luxe Wax Shoe Polish is the best match for Merlot Park Avenues? I prefer a deeper/darker red color. and am leaning toward the Bordeaux color, but colors on the web can vary. Thanks.
LOL yep nice shot of the Patriot! I wear my brown shell Patriot's without socks too, first time in my life I have gone sockless. And now understand it.... My burgundy shell Patriot's came yesterday and are just slightly larger and fit better with socks so they will be my "dressier" loafer, which is what I wanted.
Here are some with socks. No heel slippage at all. Very comfy. Also, can anyone comment on the loose stitching from my first post?
I trim the tag ends of loose threads off with the smallest pair of fly tying scissors that I own. Being careful to not nick the leather or cut into any knots of course. Have not had any issues yet. I also am flat footed and wear the black superfeet inserts that AE sells at the stores for arch support and to help take up additional volume in the shoe. Might be worth a try.
