ship to AE store (or your office) FTW
This is what is painful for the narrow width guys. Unless I'm mistaken (someone please tell me I'm mistaken) only AE, Alden and Rancourt are available to us
I see shoes by Carmina, Meermin C&J etc that I want but its all forbidden fruit
Carmina offers both lasts that run narrow (e.g. Simpson) as well as narrower fits of other lasts (e.g. Rain D). They may have other suggested lasts if you reach out to them. I believe C&J has a number of lasts that fit narrow as well like the 348, 324 and 240 but someone with more experience with C&J may know of others. The European shoemakers generally treat widths differently than American shoemakers. Instead of having 4-5 main lasts with a gamut of width options for each last, they have a greater number of lasts that range from narrow fitting to wide fitting.
