My dark chili cordovan TS Strands arrived today, but with a clear commando/lug sole instead of the JR sole I specified... grr.

Maybe the 2648 was an early production run, that by the time they hit the site had been updated to the 3187?

Possible.

I wonder if that means they dumped the 2648's into the seconds pool or if there is a mix of dark and light as firsts. I'm not sure where @polojock615 got his, but this could be an issue if you're expecting the light welt/edge as is pictured on the website.

I hate to interrupt the TS love, but my first wear of these clearance Boulevards - some of you picked these up (stole!) back in June. I have to say, I’m pretty impressed! Anybody else with me? Maybe it’s just the non-balmoral, but I found them quite comfy all day.





<fire away on the poor lacing pattern @audog - I had to look when you pointed it out to @polojock615!>

I imagine they will resolve this issue if you contact them. Sorry to hear this. Someone is going to get an awesome pair of SMU seconds.

Absolutely out of work so extremely bored here at the office. Been looking at shoes for the last 3+ hours.

AE website RDA Sale prices defy logic. Some Clearance + Sale prices are greater than or equal to their Current Style Sale prices. I thought Clearance means they want to get rid of them. It's typically just a small price difference but it doesn't make complete sense to me.

The more popular styles:

5A is $245 for Black, Walnut, Dark Chili, Coffee, Oxblood (for both leather & Dainite), & Mahongany. However, the clearance Midnight Navy is MORE than its active counterparts at $267.

PA is $315 for Black, Walnut, Dark Chili, Coffee, & Oxblood (for leather & Dainite (minus Oxblood)). However, this time, the clearance Navy is LESS than its active counterparts at $297.

While Coffee is seemingly being kept for the 5A & PA, it is on Clearance in both the McAllister & Strand but is priced higher (McAllister) or lower (Strand) than its active counterparts:

McAllister is $245 for Oxblood, Dark Chili, Black, & Walnut (for both leather & Dainite). The clearance Coffee (both leather & Dainite) is MORE at $297.

Strand in Walnut (leather, Dainite, & V-Tread), Cigar, Black (leather & Dainite), Oxblood, Carbon, & Dark Chili is $315. The clearance Navy & Coffee are LESS at $297.

While not THAT popular, Carlyle pricing is all over the place. Active colors Black, Walnut, Dark Chili, and Coffee are $245 but clearance Brown is $197 and clearance Oxblood is $297.

Boots meet standard pricing practices.

I think you'll figure this scheme out around the same time "men figure out women."

You mean like these?

Man those are so comfortable. I got the olive last time and ordered the snuff this time for early Dec delivery.
Look great!

The sole is rock hard feeling in comparison to the rest of the shoe, but I mean, it is the same sole as in all of my other AE shoes.

10 2E, clear lugs.

Ahh ... won’t be me second —wrong size. I didn’t know translucent lugs we’re an option in this show

i certainly didn't option them that way

I like how we're like a group of salivating wolves around the first announcement of a chili SMU.

Thinking just like you. If it were by some chance a 9.5B, I would try to buy right from the store at full bones.
