    Anyone have any experience with the Feisole's fit? It's not made from a standard last. Anyone see them in person? Can't find any pics and it's hard for me to judge just based on AE's picture. Can't decide. Great price though, 50% off.

    Allen Edmonds themselves used to sell some of their "seven" product line in calf leather and a color called "cordovan". It's not an error, and though it may annoy you, 'cordovan' actually can refer to the color that cordovan leather traditionally used.

    I'm normally EEE so I couldn't size up on the width. Sizing up in length still wasn't wide enough and as you said, introduced new problems. I bought them in my size anyways since they were only $100, along with a shoe stretcher off Amazon. I've stretched them to the point where it's no...

    Amazon is running another 20% off select shoes coupon, "SIZE2012". Expires August 29th. Lots of AE styles included. They still have select Elgin sizes for $220 as someone mentioned a while back, less 20% made it $176.

    Not necessarily. AE sells seconds to Nordstrom to sell in Nordstrom Racks. They could be using those without AE knowing about it.

    It does happen. The extent of it is hard to say, and I can only provide one data point that I'm certain of. I bought a pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers from Nordstrom when they were randomly on sale for $170 a couple of months ago. Received a horrible pair, even worse than seconds. Sloppy...

    Shame they don't have my size. They do, however, have the walnut strands for just under $295. Less the 20% off using that code puts it at $236, slightly cheaper than Nordstrom's sale price after tax. Another 3% off if you use an Amazon card and it comes to just under $230. Not bad.

    Nordstrom doesn't seem to carry Leeds at all.

    Call or email your order. 2 for $200 is long over, and they only seem to have those every 6 months. Seconds are hit or miss, there are a lot of reasons they decide they can't sell a shoe retail. You can get anything from a first quality shoe that was a store return to something horribly...

    Generally the discounted shoes on their website are recently discontinued models that they want to get rid of.

    Try going down half a size, 11.5eee would probably work best.

    Spoke to a Nordstrom salesman, he said they start getting extra stock for sale items two weeks before the sales start, so they should know around that time.

    Never buy a shoe you don't love. Even if it's free, if it's not exactly what you want it's not worth wearing.

    Does anyone have experience with the fit of the 'Seven' line? Specifically the Vinci or Tresana. For $100 they're too good to pass up, but I can't find any information on sizing compared to their regular lasts.

    Wingtip oxfords without brogues?

    If you want something relatively affordable, take a look at Allen Edmonds Ithaca. Not as good as their regular shoes, but it might be worth it for the price.

    Am I a Schmuck to Pay Retail

    I can be satisfied paying full retail to get exactly what I need with no hassle. And going to a thrift or discount store and finding nothing can leave you feeling empty and sometimes depressed. But there's no feeling in the world like finding that perfect item in a thrift store for next to...

    Calf is the type of leather, walnut is the color. It's the same shoe. It looks like a third party merchant on Amazon simply labeled the color attribute differently so it comes up as a different color option.

    Helpless in Chicago ... Suit Help

    A Sak's Off Fifth opened up recently near the Nordstrom Rack in Northbrook (about 40-60 minutes north of downtown, right off the Edens). Some nice stuff, but not the biggest selection. Not sure if it's worth the trip.

    Was in one the other day, saw plenty of Weybridges in walnut and black Hinsdales. Also saw a brown suede Fifth Avenue size 12 narrow for only $100, was considering buying it for resale but that's a pretty specific size and look. I recently found a burgundy Clifton for $44. Looks like someone...
