These are the most comfortable soles of any shoes I own; it feels like I'm walking barefoot. Only problem is that the rubber top lift on the heel is very thin and I have a heavy stride, so they may need a heel replacement earlier than they would otherwise.
The 511 also fits me really well; my Hamptons (first pair of AE) are one of my best fitting pairs. I've been thinking about the brown grain Leeds for awhile now. And suede or shell Dundees.
@naspratt Fortunately or unfortunately, the Lucca (predecessor to the Verona with a mini-lug) is hands down my best fitting loafer also. I bought the black calf & black suede as 1sts at the same store visit (something I'll never do). Off the top of my head I can't think of anything to compare it to as far as slip ons go. Shape wise I've always compared it to 511 bluchers or bals. They are great shoes - take care of them. Love seeing others talk about how good they are besides me.
