Enough of this lack of shoe Appreciation!—here are the cleaned up 1971 MacNeils View attachment 1040573 View attachment 1040574 View attachment 1040575 View attachment 1040576

Those are fantastic!

Indeed, enough of this poppycock. As @Thomas Crown said back to the shoe (or in this case, boot) Appreciation!

great group of boots. what are the pair on the right?

I have never purchased a pair of shoes because some sports person endorsed them. Let alone someone from a team I know nothing about. I’m sure he was compensated for his “endorsement”.

There's a lot of followers in this world...

Gustine are great. I’ve been very happy with mine and their sizing guide was perfect

Anybody tried the Gustin field jackets? Looking for a field jacket. Gustin has them, LL Bean has them, Epaulet has them (Doyle jackets). Comments on any of these?

Thank you Sir! Top right is a PRL x Allen Edmonds collaboration, that I cannot find any info on. The bottom right is a Wolverine 774 LTD in "Mahogany" (looks brown to me) shell cordovan.

he's hawking the $425 speed welt stuff.
wonder what that endorsement cost the company?

It looks like either the 1943 or some new variation. But with Exchange place and Indy line, why go to any of the “Street” shoes. In real life, it is a decently constructed shoe with substandard materials.

Thank you!

The answer regarding Indy is the common one around here. They only size in B and D, and although the toe box of the Indy is great for me, as is the high instep-- the heel and arch, you could drive a Mack truck into it. So my Bartletts are worn with a heavy wool sock, with Pedag metatarsal pad, and then the shoes are tied so that there is no gap at all in the laces (this is from someone who has 9.5D in the 65 last that needs to be stretched). On the other hand, it is comfy, as long as you aren't walking more than a few steps.

Not I but they do look solid @James1051

I know you could try an Exchange place. It is a better shoe. You can still find 9.5D on clearance. Then you can compare the two. EP is around $215 now.

Biggest news. Not working correctly, but look what's coming back!

The irony.

It's now next week and here's my least worn Allen-Edmonds shoe, the Ritz.

Totally random question, is "Ritz" (only four letters) the shortest ever Allen-Edmonds shoe name?

Ely.

Damn, those are stunning!

I have a silly, but honest question. Who is Baker Mayfield? I'm sorry, make that two... Why am I being informed of his choice of shoe?

Have you heard of Michael Carter-Williams?

Have you heard of Michael Carter-Williams?

I'll let you know after I Google him...

 

[ace13x]

Forgive me if this has been covered already. Does anyone know what the Bond St. last is? I am looking for a classic black captoe, and have just about given up on the 65 last (how can a 9.5D be too tight on someone with 9.5C bannock measurements?). As an aside, I see Crockett and Jones has captoes with rounded toes like the Park Ave, in 4 different lasts. For a couple hundred extra bucks and a lot less agony, it may be worth it to find the right last. Of course, it helps to be in NY.

Did you try a 9E?

I don't know anything about Cleveland, other than the movie Major League was a good comedy movie. I sure as heck wouldn't buy shoes because some Quarterback said they were his favorite shoe. I know that a lot of people may buy because of his endorsement, but wearing the same brand/make of shoe won't make one a professional football player.
