    Just tried to order some Daltons in chocolate and you filthy animals caused a 4 week backorder. I'm impatient so abandoned my order.

    Got my Washington Squares tonight in Walnut which are on the 1943 last. I know there is always questions about the comparison of the lasts, so figured an extra post on the topic will never hurt. Especially if it helps to find this post from google searches :) I'm a 8.5D on the 65 Last and...

    I thought the same thing but found out that the Poplar is 32mm (1.25") vs the standard 35mm (1.37") like on the Dearborn, etc.

    Limited funds to spend and I already have a pair of walnut Washington Squares on the way. I'm having a hard time avoiding the sirens song of the Daltons :) I'm torn on color.. I will normally weird with jeans almost exclusively in business casual and casual settings. I rarely wear a suit...

    Opinions on what belt goes best with the Washinton squares between the Poplar and Dearborn? I plan on wearing them both with suits and jeans. Definitely subjective but would love opinions. Washington Squares: Poplar: Dearborn:

    Not sure if this is common knowledge or not, but Zappos seems to be matching the current Rediscover America sale prices. Faster shipping and dead simple returns. For me, they also had more sizing available in stock whereas AE.com had multiple backorders

    I'm really liking the look of the Washington Squares in the photos I'm seeing of them on AE.com in walnut. Wondering if the lack of brogueing makes them too formal to wear with jeans? Also, how does the 1943 last compare to the 65? I'm a 8.5D in the 65. I've read conflicting sizing impressions...

    How does sizing of the Long Branch compare to the 65 last? I'm an 8D in 65, but know I'll be wearing slightly thicker socks in the long branch. I don't typically like ultra thick socks, even in boots and it doesn't get that cold in Seattle even in the winter.

    I'm in for the walnut strand. Perfect timing as I've been on the hunt for a pair at a deal and my shoe addiction needed feeding. Also the latest Amex Offer for $50 off $250 makes this a steal. My brannock size is an 8.5D but I ordered two pairs: 8.5D and 8.5E. Recently I've found my feet swell...

    Do any of you size up a width to account for your feet swelling? I've noticed that my feet swell quite a bit over the course of only a few hours and think I could stand to go up a width from my standard 8.5D. Wondering if any of you size up like this or just count of leather stretching over...

     I had exact same thing on my Neumoks but on both shoes. It's dead center on the ball of the foot. I didn't notice it until I left my house and walked outside. I figured it was expected and it would compress and wear down. Not the case?

    For those with unlined models, how much do they typically stretch out after getting broken in? I'm usually an 8.5D, and with the Neumoks I just got, I think the 8.5 might be every so slightly too long, but still comfortable. Afraid if they stretch out a lot they will feel way too big

     Exchanged a few emails with Dave tonight and he was not super helpful in email with much detail. Crazy short answers which didn't inspire confidence but he did say he could do it with a "rubber zip sole". On Reddit GYW, I found this review of Dave: "Dave is in no way a people's person...

    Yeah I knew that, but Nordstrom had a great deal in Neumoks whereas AE.com did not. Can you send shoes to AE.com for adding of the combination tap sole when bought somewhere else?

    Just got my brown neumoks delivered yesterday. Wow, what a ridiculously comfortable shoe! This has probably been brought up before, but given searching on SF is a mess, I will ask again: I want to give myself more traction on the Neumoks over the default leather sole. What is a...

    Clever idea. Could one just order full price shoes from another retailer using a price-matching CC, then use Bloomingdale's as a lower price even though it's out of stock? My thought process is that they don't know when a particular size went out of stock.

     Not sure I agree. They are unworn and giving free return shipping is tablestakes these days (think Amazon, Nordstrom, zappos). But regardless, I'm not complaining.

    E.com got back to me about my damaged Shannon Drives I posted about earlier. Offered no concessions, just a straight up exchanged by emailing me a prepaid label. I'm a bit disappointed they didn't offer to expedite me another replacement pair while I send these ones back, but I'm not surprised...

     To me, loafers can be pulled off by a younger person but I don't think they are versatile enough over the Madison parks or mcallisters. Just my opinion of course.
