Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)
How should the ankle of a boot fit? I rarely wear boots, but I tried on a a pair of Alden Indy Boots, and I noticed that when I laced the top lace-hook tight, there was still about a centimeter of room between the boot any my ankle? The boot fit well in the foot but that seems like a problem...- beachape

Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)
I have narrow feet and am interested in the Indy Boot. Do the Alden Indy Boots come in B width? The narrowest that Alden and shoemart lists is a C. However, http://www.rennersbootsshoes.com/al405ibo.html lists a B width. Why would they have B width if Alden doesn't even list it? Thanks!- beachape

Size recommendation Alden Indy boot
I just noticed that they do offer a C narrow width on theshoemart.com and the Alden website. I'm guessing that would probably be too wide as well? Are width measurements at all standardized, or is there a chance that this may be sufficiently narrow? Seems my only option to try one would be to...- beachape

Size recommendation Alden Indy boot
Hi. I was looking at the Alden Indy boot and was wondering what size you would recommend trying. I have never tried on any pair of Aldens before. I wear a 10b in the Allen Edmonds park ave last. Any suggestions If the Indy boot would fit at all or would it be way too wide. Also any ideas of...- beachape

Did I ruin my new shoes?
Looks like you put on way too much wax. Also the conditioner may not have dried, or the cream polish may have not dried before you waxed them. Either way you have too much product caked on. Probably the best solution would be to let them dry, then buff them with an off brush for a long while. If...- beachape

AE Executive Heels Question
Hello, Just wondering what the heels are like in the AE "executive" rubber soled shoes. They look like a stacked heel, but are they are just different layers of rubber or the regular kind with wood? Thanks- beachape

How to Silence Your Heels.
The covers are good for messy situations, mostly where one would be wearing scrubs. I wouldn't be wearing my dress shoes with scrubs and would mostly be wearing rubber soled shoes. I realize lots of people enjoy the sound of dress shoes, and I can understand that. Unfortunately being silent...- beachape

Sounds like I should get some softer rubber heels to replace the originals. Thanks for your replies.- beachape

How to Silence Your Heels.
I've actually got some plastic taps on them and they sound the same as they did originally. These heels are the "stacked" heel with leather, wood and finally rubber. Would they be much more quiet if I had the heels replaced with all rubber heels?- beachape

How to Silence Your Heels.
Hello, I've got a pair of AE fifth avenues with the regular heels. My SWMBO complains that they're too loud on our hard wood floors. Also I work in a hospital and don't want to wake sleeping patients with loud clacking shoes. Any suggestions for making your shoes quiet? I know a topy on the sole...- beachape

Polishing Shoe Bottoms
Not trying to be a troll. I heard about it from the youtube clip with the butler who shines shoes. Maybe it waterproofs the part of the sole you don't walk on, maybe it makes them look better. Guess I was looking for replies from people who tried this. Thanks to those who gave replies.- beachape

Polishing Shoe Bottoms
I know this is not necessary, but for those that do polish your shoe bottoms I have a couple questions. 1) If your soles are natural colored (...light brown), do you use the same polish as the upper (black in my case) or do you use natural? 2) Do you use wax or cream for the soles? 3) Do you...- beachape

Resole America: Reviews?
I asked them to make sure they were topy's and not stick ons. Got this reply "Hi- We do lots of Sole Saver work, primarily for the 15 Nordstrom stores to which we supply service. It is a similar item to the Topy, and is set flush. Sorry, no pics on this...John" I think I'll give them a try...- beachape

Resole America: Reviews?
Hello, I was considering sending in a new pair of shoes to get some topy's put on. I've heard that some cobbler's do it better than others (ie sanding down so the topy is flush). From the google reviews in my area it looks like the cobblers aren't so great around here, so I was considering...- beachape
