    My question about the D to E differences were because I was curious if maybe the ebay purchase was a mis-marked shoe. Such as was marked as 10E but was really constructed as a 10D.

     Both the black PA and chili 5A are size 10E on the same 65 last but as you can see in the picture, very different volume going on in the forefoot. Full disclosure. The black PA are an eBay purchase and marked "no warranty". The Chili 5A are a ShoeBank purchase. The black PA rests very well...

    Question about width...... When you go up in width (say from D to E) does only the footprint of the shoe actually get wider without a change to volume? Or is the footprint the same and more volume is added? Or both the footprint (width) gets bigger and more volume is added?

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    As suggested, I tested the volume by pressing down on the crease and there is much more volume on the left shoe as compared to the right shoe. Without measuring circumference of my feet, there isn't striking visual difference between left/right which leads me to be believe the left shoe may be...

    These shoes are size 10E. The left shoe has this crease going on and slight heel lift. The right shoe does not have any crease or heel slip (basically a great fit)... Both my feet measure the same on the Brannock device. Maybe a shoe construction anomaly? For reference, I have tried on...

    First wear for 5th Ave Dark Chili Dainite seconds. The creasing on the left shoe seems odd. Thoughts? Am I being picky?

    Just ordered these Grey suede strandmok 2.0's.... question..... What are some suggestions on a matching belt?

    Strandmok 2.0 question.... on the 65-Last the size 10E fits me perfectly (or even a tad snug). What size Strandmok 2.0 should I get? Thinking 10E also but from reading they seem to be roomier so would 10D be a better fit? Thanks!

    Very true... I am going to wear them for a week and hope they break in / loosen up.

    The 5A is new from recent Shoe Bank purchase and the PA is slightly used from ebay. Wondering if maybe the PA is mis-marked... really 10D?

    Does it make sense that a pair of 5th Avenue's in size 10E fit me perfectly and a pair of Park Avenue's in the same size fit snug? Scratching my head because it is the same last.

    First pair of Allen Edmonds from the shoe bank sale. According to Brannock I'm a 10.5E. In reading about the 5 last I went down a size for the 5th Ave purchase and got 10E. My question is how far should my big toe be and how should they crease? In the picture I've pointed to the tip of my big...

    Thanks for the reply, there is a pair of Madison Avenue's on the bank I am stalking.
