The shoes you post are always amazing! I do love how you keep it relevant by using Allen Edmonds shoe trees!

My entry (gateway drug) were PA's in 1990.

My first pair were a pair of made for Nordstrom Walnut Madison Ave. Then, I got my 5th Ave’s, found this site, and it went from there. Those 5th Aves are in dark chili and probably most worn pair.

My very first pair of AE - I still love them.

Heading to the country for a weekend of clearing brush & bush-hogging. Brown shell HM's to travel (HM's were beyond #40 in my shoe purchases.)

Spoiler: Quoddy...

Besides AE, I'm a big Rancourt fan. But I couldn't pass up Quoddy's current 35% off sale for in-stock merch! Quoddy rarely has sales. Just ordered 2 pairs of hand-sewns. Use code NEW35.

Customer meeting means I get to wear real clothes and green shell strandmoks.

Happy Friday folks! Maiden voyage for my Trunk Show purchase. Unfortunately my pants bunched up when I took the photo. Rookie mistake. Ah well...it is Friday!

Everyone knows to grab your crotch and pull up. Works for me.

Anyone have a cognac Rainier boot picture in the wild?

I'm also wearing my Higgins in CXL today with some selvedge denim. They too were the boots that started me down the AE road about a year and a half ago. Curious if these are the gateway into AE shoes/boots for most on here? With the exception of @BFT9000 since Higgins do not contain the correct medallion!

They were not my first AEs, but they were my first that were not dress shoes.

Happy Friday friends,

Just got home from a week in Southern Utah. When grandma passed we kept the house, it is a nice getaway at times. Some of you may remember your grandmother's carpet, and it may have been like this. I was born in 67 and this was already about 6-7 years old.

Discovery Derbies, I found these to be extremely comfortable around town. I'll be interested to see how the sole lasts, it seems pretty soft.

I was able to make it out to the desert for some recreation, it was mid 70's and sunny. CXL HMs earning their keep.

A Tupelo by any other name would look as sweet?

It looks like AE had some extra textured leather left over from the year and decided to make those and the PA in brown textured leather. I didn't "hate it", but it didn't really appeal to me.

I'm going to try to go to the AE store tomorrow. There actually is something I was interested in during RDA that I didn't buy. But now that it's over, probably will have to wait until 2021.

I like the texture of this leather.

It’s no football grain, but it’s nice.
