Haha. Fairsince they are completely different colors, and different ends of the boot style spectrum I vote for BOTH!

Yeah. I realize that they are different.... but I guess was wondering what’s the better value or considered better AE shoe between the two.Do you want a more casual dressy or weather shoe?
Which last fits you better?
Do you prefer dainite or combi sole?
Which color would you wear more?
Do you like padded footbeds or standard leather?
Actually...I have some really great news.
Over the summer, we shifted ALL welted production back to Wisconsin. Previously we had moved some casual welts to the DR. We haven't changed the country of origin on the website because we obviously have some mixed inventory (DR and WI) in the distribution center. Really good news though, overall! ?
I have HMs and Liverpools. They are both well made, it just depends what you will wear. I like the comfort of the HM, but they are so gat dang bulbous and only work with more casual stuff. I like the sleeker look of the Liverpool, but they don't have as much room for my toes. On the weekends I like being able to throw on the Liverpools rather than lacing the HMs. The wholecut styling of the Liverpool can be a bit awkward at times, but they still have their uses to me. I find the HM to be a better all rounder for casual, but I just get so tired of the round toes!Yeah.

I feel there is a lot of love for HM in this thread.
Guessing it is more of a boot and for dress people pick PA or other Oxford or Hamilton
Wonderful!!! Thank you! Really helpsI have HMs and Liverpools. They are both well made, it just depends what you will wear.

Availability and cost plays big into the HM's sucess as well. It was a solid $100 or more less than the Liverpool when introduced, and due to higher volume is regularly more available in "bargain" pricing.
But raw value, the Liverpool has a slightly higher discount...
The BEST way to thank them is to buy another pair of AE shoes.Even if I never buy another pair of AE shoes, I thank the company for bring jobs back to the USA.
So, just a bit further commentary. My boot collection is mainly AE and Alden, with the odd JF or Rancourt thrown in.Wonderful!!! Thank you! Really helps
Carbon seems different every time I wear it.

That's correct. We're talking about how Blake can look like GYW with the addition of a welt. What's disputed is how that's actually achieved. @EZB said the welt is stitched to an upper, and the sole is stitched to the welt. I (and @NYCTechNerd) are not disputing that Blake can look like GYW but how that affect is achieved. My explanation of how I think it's achieved is several posts back.
Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster here. Now that I’ve amassed a four shoe collection, thought I’d survey y’all for advice on my next pair. Currently, I have Walnut Lexingtons, Chili Boulevards, Bourbon Fifth Aves (they are pretty dark), and Black Fifth Aves.
I was thinking an oxblood wingtip was the next logical progression? I wear business casual (leaning more towards professional) mostly during the week, with a suit a couple of times a month. Thoughts?
I don't believe they ever made a FA version for the Independence line.
Can we please get better colors for the Liverpool.Another huge drop on AE site.
