Had to go do some extensive research for that one, did ya? ;P

I concede belts do fall into the AE appreciation thread. Old fogies like me that follow the more pure belief that AE is a shoe company need to come into the new century and accept AE appreciation can have a wider scope.
... Speaking of, how many of y'all can go full Ferrari/Harley with AE and wear nothing BUT AE items?

you mean nekkid with only shoes and belt on?

So I think you guys beat me to it, but I will just reinforce the good news here...

ALL FACTORY SECOND AND ALL CLEARANCE PRODUCT are 25% off until July 5th.

Shell? Independence? Profila's STRANDMOKS?!

This is not a drill. Happy shopping!

Is the sale still on for tomorrow? Asking for a friend.

Is anyone else struggling to get a pair of AEs without large defects from the factory? I just got 2 pairs of Jeffersons delivered and each had black smudges on the shoes. I've attached a picture.
Is the smudged shoe part of the same pair as is in your avatar? Whatever the case, they look great! Even though they do give me lace-gap envy. ☺

Good news. Quite wide in the toe box. Bad news. The 2072 last only comes in D and E width. It has got to be a hot seller before they invest in the EEE last.
So. Well. I lean more 2E. (11EEE in 65, but 11.5EE over EEE for TTS like 511 when I get really lucky on availability). But, in loafers I tend to go narrow and stretch the hell out of the pinkie area. Will consider.
One last day. Very dangerous.
Shhhhhhhh.

Ok, 4th of July. Here I come! Happy Independence Day, fellas.

View attachment 1418125

Celebrating the day Santa's Elves gained their independence??


Others have put together far more patriotic outfits, but here's my 1776 contribution for the day.

And a photo I took a while back, which features something I think we all might need a little bit more of this Independence Day.

Happy 4th, everyone! Enjoy some BBQ!

Even any used pair I've ever purchased never had a smudge like that, much less any new one. Unless you've worn them (outside) already, I vote for exchanging the pair.

It’s hard to tell from this picture. It looks like it might just be a little dark polish. If you have some cream polish, put some on there and rub it around. It should dissolve that and remove it. It only takes about 30 seconds.
