I haven't, but I think since I already exchanged one pair that I might just go for a refund on these. I got them from Nordstrom, and they don't keep a ton of different sizes in stock. I don't know if I want to keep messing around with different sizes over multiple visits.- BARNFARM

Those are 10.5D. I measure between a 10.5 and 11, and my feet are a bit narrow, but with the 5-last being longer and more narrow than other AE lasts, and considering my socks are mostly thicker, the 10.5D seemed like it made sense also seemed to fit ok. I know other people who wear AEs have...- BARNFARM

I exchanged a pair of Strands recently that ended up being too big and noticed this creasing in the new pair. I try not to be overly finicky about creasing and know it sometimes shows up where you don't want it to, but this doesn't seem right on a pair of cap toe shoes: Definitely more...- BARNFARM

Yeah, it's definitely on the upper side if I were to cross my legs. Right now it's not just the blemish, it's also the smear from whatever polish they used to cover it up. I'm wondering if a layer of my own polish all over the shoe would do a little better job of covering it up. But I also...- BARNFARM

Got this pair of black Park Aves from the Seconds Sale today. Anyone think I oughta send these back? It's not all that noticeable and I could probably live with it, but I'm not sure if whatever they did to cover up that apparent split in the leather will end up rubbing off later and expose...- BARNFARM

When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?
I got the 40% card in the mail today, which is April 1 when the envelope says "Postmaster: Please deliver on 3/27/2014 - 3/31/2014", but stuff happens with the mail. I get it. What really sucks is that last Friday, 3/28, I bought an 1818 Fitzgerald suit during the preferred customer event and...- BARNFARM

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
I got this pair of Beckmans about 5 or 6 weeks ago, and probably around Christmas I noticed what looked like a little scuff on the upper part of the toe of the left boot. I'm not sure how it got there, but it seems to have spread. Here it is from farther away (sorry about the glare, couldn't...- BARNFARM

I suppose that's a bit more reassuring, then. There just weren't two creases on the top part of the original pair that met at one point and ran down the outer part of the shoe together. But if it doesn't look terribly unusual, then I guess there's nothing to worry about. I did get fitted at...- BARNFARM

I bought a pair of Park Aves back in February of this year. After about two months of wear, the leather on the inside part of the heel on both shoes started to split. I went back to the store where I bought them and they had a new pair sent to me, which was great. That was back in June/July. But...- BARNFARM

Red Wing Boots - Your Opinion
Ugh. I was really hoping I wouldn't get this as an answer. I wonder if I should try to return them and see if Nordstrom's liberal return policy holds up or if it's worth seeing if maybe some inserts would work. At least I got them for $200, but that's still a pretty big lump to take.- BARNFARM

I bought a pair of Beckmans during the Nordstrom semi annual sale last summer, and I've only really started wearing them once or twice a week since fall started, but I've noticed when I walk for a while that the outer part of the ball of my right foot kind of hurts. Is this just part of the...- BARNFARM

Thinking of picking up a pair of RL Saunders some time soon and saw this post from a few weeks ago. Just wondering if anyone can confirm whether the Saunders is actually a 5-last or if it's something different. My Park and Fifth Aves are both 10E, so I'm wondering if I should just plan on going...- BARNFARM

I picked up a pair of Park Avenues back in February and while polishing them a while back I noticed that the leather at the bottom of the right heel looks like it's splitting apart down by the sole I guess I kind of ignored it for a while (probably stupidly), but I noticed a similar issue...- BARNFARM
