Guess what guys, it's that time of year. It's about time to post your year in review posts. I look forward to seeing them.

OK, I'll play........Bought 3 pair of AE, 4 pair of Rancourt, and a larger number of Alden and Grant Stone. Sold some Alden boots, donated some old AE, kept all the Rancourt and GS. Of the 3 pair of AE I bought, 2 I wish I hadn't as I'm not impressed with the construction or the leather. Didn't participate in either TS, kind of regret missing out on the HM's in the shaved, but couldn't get to a store. Best AE purchase of 2019 - AE made Wolverine Shell 1000 mile boots, worst AE purchase of 2019- AE Rainer NST boot, an ok boot, but not near what I expected from AE (although I got 2 bags with them). Overall a good shoe/boot acquisition year, going to slow down next year as I am totally out of room.

Pretty much anything you bought in shoes in 2019. Non-AE shoes are fine to include. But no Cole Haan, please.

I suppose these are only shoes that you received in 2019. I have a few pairs that were purchased in October but I most likely will not receive until 2020.

I think this same discussion has been had for the past 2 or 3 Decembers, did a purchase of a pre-order item count as THIS year or Next year???? First world problems.........

I bought a Wooster Street. It could be put in the Cole Haan bucket.

Same with my Alpines, great grippy sole, otherwise meh, not worth the price IMHO.

I almost did in 2017. They were offering a made in USA split toe of some sort. TexasTexter warned me they were wide, and they were. I think AE might have ghost-built them for Cole Haan.

My final TS shipment arrived and @ae_ashley must have sprinkled some of her magic pixie dust on these before the Keebler Kobblers handed them to Mr FedEx. To what to my wondering eyes should appear when I opened the AE box of goodies???

I still have 1 pair of Cole Haan loafers, made in the 1980's that, even though they need resoled, are really good shoes. But were made when CH was it's own company, not just a shell for Nike or whoever. They are in the basement, in bags somewhere.....
