The details of the broguing are similar to the Alden half-brogue I have, especially in the pattern along the heel. What's missing is the pinking along the tongue that is common on Aldens, but I never thought that detail was that important, nor aesthetically superior to just a normal tongue.

It's a really beautiful last, though. My feet feel great in it and the narrower heel has much less bowing out. I have the misfortune of having a very large toe box and a very narrow heel, so I often find that my shoes bow out at the sides of the ankles slightly. The amount on these shoes is smaller than almost any other shoe I own, which is very pleasing to me aesthetically and comfort wise.

I wish the 3 was more in use! It's a great last! Especially for my foot type.


Thanks for the write up. What shoes are made on the 3 last these days, if any?

Felt like a Landon and Levi's kind of day. No rhyme nor reason. Just feeling it. Please validate my feelings. I'm nothing without the support of all you anonymous filthy barnweasels.

I just have a feeling those might be one of those models people will regret missing out on in 2 years from now.

Strand King @BFT9000, do you have these already?

Yes, those are AE Fairfax with track pants. Anything to feel alive man!

I would go NUTS at home full time. I hope you stay sane and wear those AE's in good (mental) health.

The 73 is only used on Walton currently. Shaker Heights was a great boot on it.

Thank you! What a shame, it's a cool last.

I do remember the Shaker Heights!! What a boot!!

Navy shell is amazing! Navy shell strands with the split reverse antique welt on olive Dainite for today.
I want to say that I really appreciate @ae_ashley bringing us these trunk shows. However, I really hope that the option to change the welt color and style returns for 2022. The lack of this option forced me to sit out this time so I hope for a bit more customization in future shows.

Serious question - how do you keep your shoes in such impeccable condition? I don’t see a scratch or any signs wear on the edges, which always where I damage my shoes first. I’m jelly.
