They have a very active affiliate thread here with a responsive company guy monitoring.

He got my order moving when I got some conflicting direction.

I was happy I posted on 1999. Class of 1999 myself!

Are you kidding me?
That’s the post that made it go to page 2000???
There should have at least been a picture. I guess you edit your post to add a picture of one of your pairs of AEs.

Update: Begrudgingly posted to the thread. Still fighting off some disgust with the whole situation. Online retailers should flag a customer's first order with an extra "Don't F*** This One Up" memo. So far, not impressed.

In my giddiness at being the first post to hit page 2000, I forgot what is truly important.....SHOES! See edit with some Leeds with red/white candy cane-ish laces that could use a good cleaning.

Received the email about "new styles added to clearance", but I honestly didn't see anything new when I checked the site.

Oh easily- we went 100 pages (from page 1816) since November 23- with the holidays here (holiday parties, Acquisitions, any surprise releases, rumors for next year), I bet we hit 2000 before Christmas.

Hell, my posts about tacos while im drinking too much at Christmas parties will account for at least 5 pages of material...

Called it!

So if the Graysons fit me pretty well, should I buy these?

For some strange reason, nobody has purchased them yet.

When are you moving to Florida?

Can someone tell me what exactly is going on here? The fact that they specifically refer to the sock liner as leather makes me think the insole and midsole are synthetic (and the reference to foam is even more worrisome). They also say that they have "lightweight construction properties" which screams synthetic. Has anyone gotten the scoop on this?

Thats the scoop.

Recraftable? Sure, but why? Its a throwaway shoe. A four hundred dollar throw away shoe that will soon be hitting clearance just like all the other crapola they've dreamed up over the last year.

You would think that with all this computer savvy that is out there companies could send emails that are better in tune with your buying habits. I get emails all the time for shoes that I just purchased.

Thanks for all of the replies regarding the McGregor seconds I posted this morning; I wanted to be told to keep them--so thanks for that--but because they are my first pair of seconds I didn't want to keep a pair I should've sent back.

Tried to get a description of the defect from the WI store but I was told they were in the warehouse and could not be examined. Legit, or salesperson who just didn't care to look? Unfortunately I am 2 hours + away from the nearest shoebank (Paramus).

In addition to my first seconds (!) these are my first pair of walnut; I know they are not to everyone's taste but man what a beautiful color!

Legit, the main warehouse does not check shoes. Do yourself a favor, when you want something call Kristen @Paramus and tell her what you want. She can possibly sneak them into her store on a restock or call around and see if another brick and mortar outlet has them.

Personally, those are perfectly fine for seconds. the pushed in part is nothing that won't be much less noticeable than the creasing that will develop with wear. The misaligned eyelets, while annoying, are a fact of seconds life. There are some lacing patterns that can alleviate it to some degree. But if it bothers you that much, well, its your money...
