Thanks for the photos. I wanted to confirm once again that these are not factory seconds. I appreciate the follow up.

These AE have been bought in Italy in a luxury store, of course these AE are not perfect as an Italian shoe but for being American they are well made.. The tips are identical and well sewn, the only imperfection I see is in the lacing that in both shoes is not perfectly symmetrical but you can also see it from the photos. Usually the second choices in America are marked with an "R" hot stamped at least for the Alden and the Allen Edmond like these. Tomorrow I send you the pictures of the box so you can decide...

obviously you don't have any other American shoes because every couple of Alden have these defects, the Allen Edmons are no longer American they make them in the Dominican republic ..

Ok, I just want to confirm they are not factory seconds. Also, the price on them was coming up higher then we discussed. Still interested if they are new and non factory seconds.

Also, what about the triple sole. Most Allen Edmonds I have seen show either a single or double sole. I have not seen a triple anywhere. Just trying to get clarification on that.

With conversion rate at that price it comes out to $360. Can you adjust price to $290 and clarify my last questions. Then will look to move forward.

So the factory seconds have a little shoe on the bottom of the sole. It does not look these have those. Can you confirm? If so if no one has bought I will probably move forward.

As I wrote, lacing is not perfectly symmetrical, especially the left that has a small fold in the skin like you can see in the last photos
