This is, by far, the sluttiest dress I have ever seen. Not that its a bad thing. Project Runway taught me you can drop the front, remove the back or **** it up to the thigh, but you can't do all three at the same time.

And if you do, you get the dress in the advertisement.

Just to keep this in perspective:
AE is just trying to steal a little thunder from John Lobb.

Ok, I have to admit the high top dress sneaker didn't sell for John Lobb last year at all. So these must be the answer.

Even John Lobb is making sneakers! Well, if it helps their bottom line, I guess I should support it, right? I haven't seen any sneakers from C&J or Alfred Sargent yet.

Here's a picture (from last December) of the champagne vending machine at the Crack Shack in Century City.

The thing in the tin tray is called "Mexican Poutine". Eating it made me feel as if I had become the USMCA.

You are correct about a champagne vending machine being, "Almost a good idea". It had only one brand of champagne, Moet & Chandon. There was no Mumm Napa Cuvee M.

so are the bottles gently lowered into the bin somehow? Surely they aren't dropped

Middle is fine

That’s odd to me... the 7 last is one of favorite, yet, for my messed up feet, the 201 couldn’t be more incompatible. Other than a wide fore-foot, they seem entirely different. What do you find to be the commonality that works well for you?

You weren't asking me but I'm a big fan of the 7, 201, and 511. I fine them all very tolerant of my high instep, including the 201 as an oxford. That said, I only own the 7 or 511 as derbies and bluchers.

Yeah, ‘cause these two are the authority on good taste and style:

Both of those lasts work extremely well for me, too.

It’s just strange, because I think of the 7 and 511 as being low-instep friendly, whereas the 201 has too much volume, especially due to the higher collar and raised vamp. I have the 7 in both oxford and blucher form, though I only have the 511 and 201 in oxfords. I’ve heard high instep folks complain about the 511, specifically the 511 Shelton versus the 201 Shelton 2.0.

Yeah, those are awful, too

Cool, when can I run your card for $960 plus tax.

Bargain! Still cheaper than Alden rare shell boots!

My experience has been the same with the 511. I'm always surprised to hear some people on here mention that they cannot fit into the 65 or 201, but fit well into the 511 (smfdoc is one I have in mind). I've found the 511 is about the same width in the ball as the 65, but feels slightly more narrow because there's less volume above the toes. I've never tried on a shoe on the 7 last, but considering I can wear every AE last I've tried, I bet they would work.

7 and 201 work for me too. No 65 without changing size and width.
