While not my style or price range I applaud you sir for wearing them. I think I would have put them under glass with my other curios.

High instep/cone and wide feet here. I only have one pair of shoes that have tight eyelets they are a Tricker's Sheene. the majority of my AE's look like this:

That second pair 👌🏽

I have similarly shaped feet. It's part of the reason I've started shopping for other brands. If you ever need suggestions on lasts in other brands that work for me I can offer a few.

PM me some info, please.

Denali for another long road trip.

Little bit of rain today, but the super-loose-grained OG brown CXL version of HMs DGAF. They laugh at it, and then get a little looser.

I like these a lot.

I finally got the shipping notification for the Courtsides I ordered on the first day of the Anniversary sale. I really hope they fit.

In the last 10 years, I don't think there's been a finer shoe made by AE. Perfect in every way.

Well, apart from the dainite soles and poron.

I don't get the use of poron over cork. I'd rather the cork.

Dainite is whatever. It's useful for rain, but terrible in snow. For a dressier style, I see the utility of having a few pairs on dainite in order to avoid degradation to leather soles/slipping and sliding on wet surfaces when you know it will rain.

I prefer leather/double leather, but I can't say leather is practical if anything approximating wet conditions will be experienced.

They are great and I was super lucky to find NOS at a reasonable price. My only, extremely nitpicky gripe with these is I'd prefer a storm welt to fully round out the casual vibe, but these are damn near perfect.

Not sure what it is, whether poron had to do with it, but these fit me almost perfectly whereas I've had issues with 65 last in the past.

The Rush Street does have cork, but I believe it does not have a midsole. Strange if you consider the fact that my recent Strandmok in suede does have a midsole.
