And now for my most recent AEs:

 

[Genericuser1]

Got a mailer, some sort of seconds sale starting the 16th.

 

[tcbinnc]

Asphalt, Boulders and Iron.

Also happen to be my first AE pair if you are counting "seconds".

 

[instigateur]

I got the call today.

My son is in town for Mother's Day and scheduled a casual pre-interview meeting today. He comes down the stairs and asks if he can borrow a pair of shoes. It's on!

Me - What are you wearing? Him - I don't know. Me - Figure that out and I'll pick the shoes.

He went with business casual. Lavender button down shirt and grey dress pants. I pull out the vintage black Florsheim MTO SWO. Looking good.

I find it interesting how the overall look of the shoe can change with subtle changes from stock.

Absolutely. Here you go!

Stunning colour! Interesting how the look changes with the lighter welt and darker apron/toe stitching. But hey, those only get 4 eyelets. Earlier version?

Wearing (made in 1984) Oakmonts today. (Fans of a certain online men's style blog may recognize this surface.)

For fans of "A-E In The Wild" pictures, on Brighton Dr. (between Bedford Dr. and Camden Dr.) on the way to get my hair cut (at Little Joe's in the 9601 Wilshire Blvd Building, where I have gone since the late seventies).

For fans of dog pictures in shoe threads, "The Real Dogs Of Beverly Hills"?

Saw this dog while walking on the Avenue les Chumps-Elysees after getting my hair cut.

Extra Added Attraction: For those who may be thinking of getting a pair of blue shoes but don't know what to wear them with. (The more adventurous amongst you may want to wear this with green or orange shoes.)

On the other hand, some may think this suit is for the birds (of paradise).

 

[St Hubbins]

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts! I wore the same pants the last two days in a row with different boots. Nothing else to report.

That dog looks like Jiff Pom.

Slight deviation from longwing week this evening.

If you’re going onto the field at Raymond James Stadium, you may as well go on like a player!

Now I’m ready for football...

Don’t forget the pirate boot-y.

Fire the cannons!

And park the “Players” on the 50 yard line.

What, no football?? Aww, the wife tricked me.

Oh well, still having a great time.

Happy Saturday gents.

Very nice, @Roycru. And the dog looks good in those Ray-Barks. Sorry.

@BagleyBrown can tell you about his disappointment with them.

 

[mreams99]

Since we are showing cherry poppers, I submit a long wing on the 108 last. Dang if I can recall what they were called. Some fancy Street in England where they sell lots of nice clothes. I did like the medallion but they were too long.

Jermyn Street?

 

[Shoenut]

I have completely solved my slight heel slip on my Oak Streets. The shoe has an extra heel pad on top of the Poron insole and under the glove leather liner. I pulled the heel pad out and the shoe now has zero heel slip. I wore them out tonight and the shoe is more comfortable in every aspect. It makes less noise when I walk and the heel stack seems softer.
