For those who question the delivery speed of AE products, I submit the following:
The harrowing tale of a case of shotshells, ordered on Dec. 2nd, for a competition last weekend.
They say they will arrive today.
They started in Zelienople, PA.
FedEx blamed it on high seasonal volume. I think a drunk coed with a boyfriend in Georgia got ahold of them...

A holiday-style, shell Patriot combo if I say so myself:

I despise fedex I wish Allen Edmonds would get a better carrier. I hate to admit this but the government can deliver packages better than fedex

Good Morning,

I just bought a pair of Wooster Streets in my exact size, which is an 11D.

Did I pick the most accurate size for a loafer? I hear many loafer brands will stretch away from your actual size over time, and it's often appropriate to size down for them.

However, I have a pair of the Cavanaugh's I bought a few years ago in an 11D that sill fit fine. Also, I figure that it's possible that any stretching would be negated by the combination of the cork bed lining with the 64 last (Wooster is built on the same last as Park, Ave, Strand etc).

Am I right here? Or should I have sized down a half or 1? (I got them from the shoe bank so I don't look forward to paying the $25 restocking fee lol)

For all the incompetence stories people seem to have for USPS, I've literally never had a problem with them and they've always delivered on time for me. Meanwhile, Fedex is an integral part of the most frustrating ecommerce experience I've ever had.

Spoiler: Fedex & END Rant

I will never order something from END again and will also pick a carrier other than Fedex when I get the chance due to this... I ordered three sweaters on END and END's checkout process overrode the shipping address I had typed in and shipped it to my saved address on the account, my old apartment on the other side of town, instead. I immediately contacted END when I saw it on the order confirmation email. They said it couldn't be fixed and to get in contact with Fedex when it ships. The moment I got the shipping notification from Fedex, I put in a delivery hold for it to be held at a Walgreens near me. First, Fedex attempted to deliver to my old apartment two days in a row before finally delivering it to the Walgreens on the third day. I showed up at Walgreens to pick it up the next morning, and I'm told it's not there. Turns out Fedex had picked it back up four hours after dropping it off at Walgreens, and it was now out for delivery to my old apartment again. This time it was signed for by the guy that lives there now, so it was successfully delivered in Fedex's mind, and both END and Fedex washed their hands of the problem. I finally got my package after taping a note on the door at my old place and the guy and I worked out a time for me to pick it up. I know it was just shouting into the void, but I wrote a lengthy complaint to Fedex on their website. Did I mention that my son had been born the week before all of this happened?

TL,DR: Fedex can go to hell.

Have not tried the Wooster but if the Cavanaugh really is absolutely comfortable in an 11D I would have started with a 10.5D on the wooster. No restock for an exchange, just a return.

I mean they generally fit fine right now there is a little movement or rolling in ether foot in the 11D. I am just worried about 6 months from now.

In a Split Second, Clothes Make the Man More Competent in the Eyes of Others | Princeton School of Public and International Affairs

People perceive a person’s competence partly based on subtle economic cues emanating from the person’s clothing, according to a study published in Nature Human Behaviour by Princeton University. These judgments are made in a matter of milliseconds, and are very hard to avoid.

They all suck. I regularly get late deliveries from USPS and UPS. Other freight carriers I think try to see how many things they can damage in a day.
