Forget 10.5 E. I want 12 EEE.

Seeing those $137 Loden Dundees on ShoeBank for "normal" sizes is frustrating....

Are these worth it for $50. Allen Edmonds Strand.
Decent condition ?
Have they lost their shape ?

Hard pass on these - they are beat. Wait for a better pair.

Looks like they were in the bottom of someone's closet. For $50 I would. Put shoe trees in them and lightly steam them. Looks like they will bounce back. Condition and polish.

Wish I could find some 10.5 E Loden Dundees.....

12 D for me, and the pair they have on Shoebank has glue on it, so I'm trying an Olive suede Saukville soon

 

[mreams99]

There is a pair of olive suede Saukvilles on the Shoebank in my size for $97. There is also a pair of snuff suede Dundees in my size for $137.
There are only two problems:
1. I bought three pairs of suede chukkas over the winter (loden Dundee, dark chocolate Dundee, and a non-AE in a light beige). Adding either one of those pairs from the Shoebank seems somewhat redundant.
2. I'm still looking for a job. So until I land a job, my spending on new shoes is going to be extremely limited.
Hopefully I can fix that #2 problem soon so that I can worry about things like #1!

So it's funny how life works, but I'm rolling with it. I was asking last week about my next pair and today I was diagnosed with a ruptured biceps suffered on Sunday. I'm taking it as a sign that I better get myself a pair of slip ons since for at least several weeks after surgery I might struggle to tie my shoes. So, I'd had trouble getting a size in the past. I'm confident I'm an 8e in Stand/McAllister/Boca Raton and 7.5 3e in Jefferson.

So, any advice for sizing on something like the Lake Forest, Brooks Presidio, Verona II? Those look like some of the dressier slip ons browsing the Shoe Bank. Any other models you can see working with dress pants while I'm recovering?

I figure a new pair (or two) will help ease some of the depression knowing my golf season is over.

Considering #2, and my general -meh- with the Saukville, I'd personally hold off.

Think AE will be rolling out some more suede options this fall? I'm not interested in the crepe soled D width only Italian "value" shoes, and I've already got the chocolate Liverpool and snuff/brown Strand.

Last winter I felt the Saukville was rather meh as well. Most likely because of the sole and the impression that it was a lesser-quality short run model. For under a hundy (or $120 for firsts) though... I've been having conversations with myself about picking it up, wearing the hell out of it and then resoling it sooner rather than later. I am not too crazy about the Loden version, so I'd probably be scooping one of the browns.

Like I need more boots or something...

Randolph if you like a lower vamp design. The last is a bit fuller though.

 

[St Hubbins]

If I had an unlimited slush fund and zero shame, I'd be shagging both a pair of Snuff Dundees and a pair of the JA Snuff Norwiches just to have a full work week supply of snuff suede.
