When does title transfer occur? That’s got to be the answer right

Even if you paid for it, if you cannot touch, smell, or post, it never happened. Especially in my case. I buy a shoe, it comes and it just does not work for me. I exchange until I get something. Many of us have had shoes at home right up to day 89 and have exchanged.

A little shoe maintenance for tomorrow.

And on another note, who is going to start the 2020 thread?

I think you (@audog ) or @Shoenut woiod be fine choices - I suspect the two of you are among the (if not the) top 2 posters here.

With that said, my vote is that @BFT9000 start the next thread. My reasoning:
1. I can’t think of anyone else with a collection >50 that is as dedicated to AE I may be overlooking someone, but the Strand King is basically AE only
2. He was a newb last year and thus ineligible based on the guidelines I just now made up, but has certainly shown himself to be a fixture this year.
3. He made those sweet trackers for both trunk shows. Seriously, I referred to those way more than I thought I would.
4. He has a very deliberate collection - I can think of no one more appropriate to start the 20-20 thread than someone with such clear vision.

Of course, I’m currently visiting family and drinking pretty heavily, so I could be waaaaay off base.

If it arrives Monday or Tuesday and you end up keeping it, then it is a 2019 shoe.

Iif you order it in ‘19 and it arrives after Wed, and you keep it, it is a 2020 shoe.

If you don’t end up keeping it, it is neither a ‘19 or ‘20 shoe.

Just took delivery of these absolutely gorgeous Dark Chili Macneil's. I haven't had any chili colored shoes from AE before so I think they are pretty fire.

But I must admit, I'd love to see AE bring back this vintage rubber heel design from the olden days. Had more character than the modern V heel.

 

[Shoenut]

I guess this choice is not going to surprise anyone.

Motion is carried. It is now in the hands of @BFT9000
The reasoning IS well thought out.

Of course, with the recognition comes the responsibility to get up before daybreak Jan 1 to put up the new thread. Ouch!

Or put it up tomorrow, before going to bed New Years eve, and add a post stating it's up and running

Every year we encounter this same question......if ordered in current year, but won't be delivered until next calendar year, which is it? In this case a 2019 order, to be delivered in 2020, is it a 2020 pair or a 2019 pair? And on another note, who is going to start the 2020 thread?

Shoes must be received in 2019 to count for 2019.

I agree with this 100%, thank you.

Nice trousers - I'm guessing Botto Guiseppe flannel from S&M?

My non-buyer's remorse is palpable. I literally slept on it and it was sold out the next morning.

I get over mine by remembering that it will cost me more money to install toe taps on the leather. Now, if I’m the MacNeil has v tread on that sale, is have jumped on it or regretted
