    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Thank you! Yep, it’s Dainite on my Chelsea 5s, so I’ll hope it’s just a break in issue. I’ve had Dainite on other shoes before and haven’t had too many issues. I’m worried I may end up having to go up to a wide.

    ** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)

    Hey all! I'm hoping for some advice on sizing C&J. I was in London a few weeks ago and had a chance to go in and get sized at the Jermyn street store. I'm normally a 9.5D in AE's 201 and a 9.5E in AE's 65 last. I've never been able to nail down my size to my satisfaction with Alden but I take a...

    The unofficial Drake's London Appreciation Thread

    That’s a bummer, I’ve been keeping an eye out for this style as well. So it sounds like the only way to get it now is to do MTO which has to be in-store but the NYC store isn’t open outside of the Armoury pop up? I will probably be in NYC in January if that’s the case and was already planning on...

    Filson Bag Thread: With Pictures

    Hi all, stumbled across this thread looking for advice on the Filson Small Rugged Twill Pullman. I traveled frequently for business prior to Covid and it looks like travel is close to coming back. My trip duration is probably going to change from 3-4 days average to 1-2 days average. I did a 1...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2019 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

    So I started looking into getting a pair of MD Chukkas going off some advice from around a week back here, but I’m wavering on sizing. I’m a 9.5D on Brannock, but have a foot that trends on the wider side of that. I think the MD Chukka is on the 511, and I’ve always had pinching on my right...

    They’re actually the Brown Grain with the red Dainite sole. It’s certainly possible but I’ve never noticed the upper being stiff before, I had mostly attributed it to just never walking long enough on them to be impacted by the stiffness (normally car to office and repeat).

    Hey gang! So with all this dainite talk I wanted to pose a question that I’ve been stewing on. I recently had occasion to walk a couple miles in my dainite Oak Streets during a client visit and found them to be very stiff for long distances. Normally that’s not a problem since I don’t walk...

    Hey gang, can someone provide insight in sizing for the 42N versus the 201? I’ve been traveling frequently (around 2 weeks a month) over the last year and am looking for another shoe or two that’s travel friendly. Thus far I’ve been using my Kudu Neumok 2.0 frequently for those trips. I don’t...

    Hey gang, Been a little while since I checked in, glad to see you all still running strong! So I had a little mishap with my trunk show HM's, but Ashley naturally took care of me and made it right. Got the remakes back in hand a couple weeks ago, but unfortunately I made a mistake and don't...

    Hey @Epaulet - any chance you’re going to have upcoming runs of the hermosa or trainers? I got my hands on a pair of Hermosa lows in Museum Calf and they’re fantastic. Now I feel like I want the entire rainbow of horsehide (unfinished, walnut, mocha, etc.).

    Thanks man! It’s all good, there are many, many worse problems in life. Plus, if my feet hadn’t given me trouble, I may not have taken the plunge into more quality footwear! I’ve had to sell a significant portion of my AEs over the last year due to these issues, if I can find the sweet spot with...

    Have been having some issues with my feet over the past 6 months (fairly certain it’s Morton’s neuroma) which has meant I’m having trouble wearing anything but my shoes that are volume heavy or wide in the toe box. Have a new pair of Crimson Longwings in my normal Brannock coming in today to try...

    Hey shoe friends, I’ve gotten busy and fallen off the map the last few weeks, but I assume everyone started getting their trunk show orders in. My HMs came in last week while I was out of town and I just got a chance to open them. Overall the construction is fantastic, but when I started lacing...

    Late to the reply game, but I also got in on a pair of Brown Shell HMs in double JR. Very excited to have a chance at these. I know bourbon was all the rage for this trunk show, but I’ve been pining over the photos of the old brown shell GMTO from before, so I’m pretty excited now.

    I don’t own any shell (yet), so instead posting these newly acquired HMs in anticipation of the trunk show.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2019 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

    Yeah I’m kind of already heading this route anyway. I’ve been mostly picking up interesting older models (like variations of old McTavish), discounted/clearance current models (see Acorn Suede Caen), and things you rarely get a shot at (like this upcoming trunk show). I’ve got a stable of around...

    Thanks @ace13x for posting those Reverse Kudu HMs! I wasn’t in a position to join the MTO when it hit in 2017, so didn’t hesitate this time and very excited to have a chance at these now. Also thanks to whoever let those go, if they’re still around the forum. This acquisition will limit me to 1...

    I’m still solid on Brown HM but have decided on a JR sole. I’m interested in a Burgundy HM, but will likely stick to one pair.

    I love this, I’ve been hovering right near the “discover shell” phase, and it looks like I’m going to nail down this HM shell order with Ashley for my first pair. I should probably be scared.
