King of Prussia Mall... Nordstroms, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdales, ect.

Oh okay. For some reason I didn't think they were carried in normal department stores. Thanks. I guess you can tell I'm new at this.

but you're asking quality level on shoes that retail for $1000+?

Actually, I've found AE to be quite affordable, esp, under $150 new. No way I could afford Lobbs but it's nice to know why they are arguably better.

You can get Alden (and AE and Loake) at Sherman Borthers. I think Wayne Edwards keeps a limited stock of Edward Greens but I could be wrong.

because this has been discussed, I don't know, a billion times?

hell there's even an extremely comprehensive write up on ask andy that goes into detail about each of these brands

Seriously. Snob up these boards more, Teger? Try providing a link instead of pointlessly *****-griping.

I think the service at Sherman Brothers is far superior to "Mall Service." The guys that work there are real "shoe-guys."
