    Meermin Mallorca Shoes

    I have the leather outsoles on the RON last. Calf skin is soft and comfortable. I like them; they're good value for the moo-la. 👍 I don't recommend this pair by Meermin. The topline digs into the ankle bone. Derby

    AE is just starting with their own made-to-order footwear. TLB Mallorca and Carmina already a few steps ahead of AE. The other two brands have different lasts and large selection of material to choose from. $950 for Horween shell cordovan is the new reality. This price is still lower than a...

    It sounds to me that you are adding a midsole and then adding a sole guard (Vibram). My thought is why not remove the AE outsole entirely? It's some sort of a plastic with wood like texture outsole. Have CNES put in a house leather outsole plus a leather midsole and add the Vibram sole guards...

    It's a standard full sole job. Your options are either leather soles or rubber soles (Vibram, Dainite, or SVIG). You can request for leather combination heels or full rubber heels. It's a goodyear welted boot. I'm sure CNES can do the repair job.

    Let your daughter wear the boots for another six months. Afterward, get the cobbler to slap on new house leather outsoles with rubber sole guards and new rubber heels. If this pair of boots is your daughter's daily wear boots, she has received good mileage. Typically, the heels will wear out...

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Your PA looks alright to me. You received good advice from ProfilaBinding. If you are not feeling discomfort, no need to go with a wider shoe. I suggest you order a 5th Avenue with dainite outsoles because you haven't experience it personally. I suggest you condition the leather to prolong...

    Buy both. Try them on and then return the pair that is too roomy. I'm assuming you are not able to go to a retail AE shop to try the shoes.
