    Discoloration on Allen Edmonds Cordovan Park Avenues

    I already sent them an email. The spot definitely was not there when I first received them, there's absolutely no way anything could have spilled on them. I tried putting some of the black cordovan cream they supplied on the shoes and it made it streaky, almost looks like it created fine...

    Discoloration on Allen Edmonds Cordovan Park Avenues

    No, they were ordered directly from Allen Edmonds as a replacement because I was having issues with my calf PA's

    Discoloration on Allen Edmonds Cordovan Park Avenues

    Thankfully it looks worse than in real life, but it looks like it may be an issue with the finish as well. You should be able to clearly see what I mean in this picture.

    Discoloration on Allen Edmonds Cordovan Park Avenues

    Hey All, I recently acquired a pair of Black Shell Cordovan Allen Edmonds Park Avenues about a month or two ago. I haven't actually worn them yet. I inspected them thoroughly when they came in and didn't see any blemishes. I had them stored in the closet and today I took them out to start the...

    Shoulder Fit

    I bought a cheap Gap Herringbone blazer for now (losing weight) and I was initially concerned about the shoulders being too small or too big. I looked online and it almost looks like they are considered a "roped shoulder" where the arm sits slightly higher than the shoulder. Does this look to be...

    Rock Your Socks- show your sock, shoe & pant combos

    I'm definitely in the more conservative camp when it comes to socks and shoelaces. Too bright and attention grabbing for me.

    My collection so far. I need some black Cap Toe Balmorals for formal occasions but I keep running into issues with the Allen Edmonds Park Avenue rear quarters being warped. I might go Alden Shell Cordovan instead. Need to find a place to be fitted. Left to Right: Walnut Strand, Black...

    Makr Shell Cordovan Oxblood Horizon Two Wallet

    Hard to capture of picture of it, I'm not a photographer. This is my first shell cordovan anything. It felt plasticky at first but its starting to break in and has a nice gloss to it. The surface reflection seems a bit uneven so I'm not sure if it's normal to polish it. What do you think?

    Clarks Desert Boots

    Decided to go for both Horween Clarks. The interior seems a little bit more well made around the heel from my previous clarks. Here's a couple photos.

    Thanks, this puts me at ease a bit. I have a bit of strange creasing under the wing tip on my McAllisters but I guess I should just enjoy the shoes.

    Those of you that have multiple pairs on the same last and same size, do you find that each style wears/feels a bit different? I have a pair of Strands in Walnut 11EEE that fit perfect, but a pair of McAllisters in Black that fit a bit tighter and crease in different areas.

    Spoke with an AE rep and she stated that some times people's feet don't work well with the thinner leather of the PA's. The rear of the strands have that border around the top line of the quarter, maybe that's why they fit great on me and don't warp. I guess I'll trade them for Black Strands...

    I'm just very scatter brained at this point. Imagine getting your hopes up 4 times in a show and then getting crushed. I considered trading them for Black Strands because I've had better luck with the Walnuts. They just seem to fit completely different overall which doesn't make any sense to me.

    I sent them an email. I think it's just a defect with the PA's. The strands have that extra brogue strip around the top line so maybe they keep better?

    And to add to this, my 11 EEE Strands fit perfectly.

    I don't know if I should give up on Park Avenues or not. EVERY single pair I've gotten from Nordstrom's is defective. The last one, the left side fits like a D not EEE. Meanwhile, the other two pairs fit like normal, except the rear quarters are stretched out. Should I be contacting AE directly?

    Now, Nordstrom sends my third replacement out for the Park Avenues that were defective.They sent me a pair of black Cliftons by accident. I am going to lose my mind.

    I have two pairs in front of me now in "limbo". One right shoe is good, others are bad. I did a live chat today with a CS rep and they found some that were in store and not drop shipped. I asked her to please insist on really checking the shoes and shipping them differently just in case and she...

    Nordstrom is driving me insane. I'm on the 2nd pair of Allen Edmond Park Avenue replacements. Every time they send me a replacement pair, the rear quarters are stretched out. The "replacement" pair was worse than the first! I have an odd size so I have to order them online.
