    AE Insole Question

    I currently have 26 pairs of AE shoes and several have an insole that is padded. I think this is what is called the poron insole. It is very comfortable. It causes me to wonder why this cushioned insole is not standard issue on all AE dress shoes. Is there some reason due to the shoe's...

    Allen Edmonds Leather Lotion

    What are the benefits, if any, of using the AE leather lotion? Does it soften the leather? Does it help the shoe conform to the foot? Any ideas?

    Can Size 7 1/2 Hat be altered to fit Size 7 1/4

    I recently won a very nice fedora on ebay that was listed as a size 7 1/4. When I received the hat, it was a size 7 1/2. I contacted the seller and was informed that an employee had shipped my hat to another buyer and that they had sent my hat to him. They have attempted to contact him, but have...

    JFK with Hat

    There has been a lot of discussion over the years regarding JFK not wearing a hat. Here is a picture prior to his inauguration where he and Eisenhower both have a hat, although they are not wearing them. It seems that everyone dressed much classier then. Attachment 14688

    Can you guys give a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive dress watch? I am thinking in the $200 - $500 range. I would prefer something classy, not bling-bling. This would be something appropriate to wear for business first, then social occasions. Also, if you can tell me where I could...

    Frequency of AE Model Discontinuation

    How often does Allen Edmonds discontinue their shoe models? Is there a certain time each year, or is it based on sales performance of the item? Or is it at random? I have really grown fond of their shoes due to the info gained from this forum. I look forward to getting into the english brands.
