    They feel good. I am just worried that once the leather relaxes and/or stretches that they will be too loose.... I think I might go to a retail store and try on a 9.5 to see how that feels.

    Hey everyone. Hope you have all been well. So, I took the plunge and picked up my first pair of shell during the RDA sale—Burgundy Shell Leeds Seconds. They are beautiful and I really can’t tell what makes them seconds. However... to get them to the desired fit I have to pull the laces almost...

    I’d almost take them off and pump barefoot ‍♂️

    When is the best time to buy from Allen Edmonds?

    The rediscover America sale is definitely one of the best. However, if I remember correctly, around Christmas they had insanely good deals on seconds--multiple styles for $99-$149. At this point and after this many shoes, I almost exclusively buy AE seconds (9 times out of 10, the flaw is...

    Thank you very much for the quick reply. I will definitely check out those Saphir insoles. As you can imagine, I am looking for just the thinnest amount of insole and I think those might do the job. Plus, like you, I would rather put a cork & leather insole in my cork & leather soled shoes...

    Good morning my friends and fellow fine footwear enthusiasts! So I picked up these Brooks Natty CXL loafers on the Aberdeen last. I have always had a problem because my feet are not the same size. My right foot is about 1/4 size smaller than left. I had actually ordered the loafers in 9.5 & 10...

    Couldn’t have said words more true. I picked up my first pair of Alden this week and combined with the... direction... that AE is going, my wallet is already running scared.

    That is totally fair. I like the cleanness of them, like a wholecut chukka kind of thing. Plus I have been infatuated with suede and CXL lately. I have been searching for the right pair of ivory-type suede shoes for my collection. Really, and I know this is another thread, but Grant Stone has a...

    Also, quick question... I know AE front to back, but am new to the Alden family. They do have cork foot beds, yes? I ask because my loafers have a slight amount of heel slip that I am figuring will go away once they conform to my foot and the sole it relaxed a little bit. Is this assumption...

    I love those. I would have gone with the suede but I already have the AE Acheson in Snuff and Loden. Plus, the BBxAlden tassels I just got in the CXL, to me, are just so damn awesome. I feel like they are indestructible. I think the maiden voyage will of them will be tomorrow. It will be a...

    I didn’t think I would, but I love that Morris chukka in the Sahara tan. It is calling to me.

    Precisely. Because I have not broken in my first pair. In fact, I haven’t even worn them outside and I am already scoping out my second pair. Especially with all the beautiful footwear that is consistently acquired and posted on this thread

    Just got my first pair of Alden. Alden X Brooks Brothers Natural Chromexcel Tassel Loafers on Aberdeen last. These are just the most beautiful pieces of footwear I have ever seen. Although I have to watch it because the seal has definitely been broken and I have a new mistress.

    The brown grain MacNeil 2.0 is probably one of my favorites. They are the reason that I am contemplating picking up the Leeds 2.0 in brown grain.... redundant.....???? However, I hate the 97 last. The only reason it works for those is because of the 2.0=poron, otherwise I can't make the 97...
