    I'll check that last out, thanks, I know I've tried on a lot of their different shoes though. 201 has the widest toe box of the shoes that I tried, which is where I end up needing room the most.

    I did catch that they are still selling the Hamilton boots. I forget the name of the model but the wingtip 201 oxfords are the best (formerly) readily available dress shoe for me in terms of fit, so quite a bummer if they're really gone for a while. They've been signaling that way for a couple...

    This is probably old news in a way to regulars here but I just noticed that it looks like they are not offering any shoes on the 201 last at this point. Has there been any sort of official announcement about that or whether the independence collection will return?

    I've had 'em for a while (1-2 years) now and it just started happening, so I don't think it's the original finish. I guess it's possible, though.

    Have you all ever run into this issue? Any time I get any water on my walnut hopkinson's, the spot becomes very light colored after it dries. (pictured-the dot is from a tiny drop of water) The shoes haven't always done this. It becomes very noticeable if, for example, I briefly walk...

    Yeah, they're also not the most comfortable sole. I was thinking that I'd have a dainite sole put on them when they do wear out but, since you mentioned it, maybe I'll look into this Toby sole and 3rd party recrafting. I've found that dress shoes are pretty much never totally comfortable in all...

    Hi All, hoping for some advice. I bought these McTavishes when they first came out about 6-7 months ago. I wear them approximately twice a week, rarely consecutively, and walk at most 4 miles a day. (Usually more like 2.5-3). The rubber part of the heel has started splitting from the rest of the...

    TBH I don't notice anything on first glance. I'm guessing when I wonder if there's a bit of a crease (or as I just saw EZB said--bubble) on the side but it's actually hard to tell from your picture.

    McTavish in chromexel that I bought when they first released (was in dire need of new black dress shoes and wanted something that could handle the changing weather). I don't like the look of their tan offering but the black is nice. Part of me wishes I had waited for the Stirling to go on sale...

    Ah I think you're right, I had a similar experience with the 5 lasts (although figured out the hard way that last really doesn't work for me, after all.) --- Most of my folk late canceled, waiting for the one who didn't...

    Styleforum User reports and questions on technical issues

    I found some posts from much earlier on about posts per page being difficult to change due to back end constraints. I've searched all the usual places trying to see if there's a setting. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse, but is there an update on a way to change this on the user end? Thanks.

    Has anyone else purchased new 201 lasted shoes recently? I bought the Jefferson 2's about 6 months ago, the new McTavish about 3 months ago, and then bought Bartletts and Hopkinsons during the sale this month. The Jeffersons, McTavishes, and Hopkinsons all fit pretty much the same (that's why I...

    Hey guys, I contacted AE about the other pair I posted on here and they said it was a defect and to replace them. So now I have this pair. The cap toe on the left shoe overlaps with the leather by 2/16" on the outside of the shoe to 4/16" on the inside, while the leather on the right shoe...

    Thanks. I had a pair of much cheaper shoes with some sort of coating that peeled when I went to apply the first polish. Should I expect that with these AE's (my first pair)?

    Hey all. Long time lurker, first time poster. Just received my Park Avenue firsts in the mail. Wore them for maybe 5 minutes around the house. Took 'em off and noticed that it looked like a coating on the left shoe's tongue was peeling/flaking off. Peeled a little more with just some light...
