ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD 2021: News, pictures, clothing, accessories, etc.

[St Hubbins]

Greetings, fellow enthusiasts. This might come as a surprise, but I’m wearing these Brave Stars again. OG Higgins Mills carrying me into the weekend.

So the more I look at it, the better the Landon boot looks to me. My question is how does the 2622 last fit? I have no experience with it.

Of course I’d prefer the boot in a different leather. I’d like to see one in snuff suede, Dublin or CXL.

Have a good weekend!

i find it generous. For me, and I have the same toe poke, I take the same size as my Higgins. Except they’re a little roomier near that spot

They also feel like the Normandy but not quite as tight across the bottom of the laces on the instep

Dressed based on the boots. I have a few burg trousers (mainly cords) but don't wear the color enough. This one has more brown/yellow instead of blue. Sort of a faded raisin tone.

I see we have a lot of overlapping style...

Take the 201, a bit less pointy toe, and add a bit more vertical space in vamp/toe box. At least that's how it feels to me!

I have noticed that too my friend.

Chili Higgins on a chilly day.

You know what would be awesome? A football grain HM. I know I've seen @mreams99 post about, but I want to jump on the bandwagon too. Who's with me??

Right behind you, as usual!

Cannot wait to see the new sharks!

First shoe change of the day.

Thank you.

Damn the toe poke. I have to actually like it or else I wouldn’t be able to stand what it does to the shoes. And the dimensions of my feet are such that I haven’t found a size alternative that reliably addresses the issue without making other, worse issues. Therefore I must confine myself to a small list of lasts that get me somewhat close.

In the “combination last” notation, I probably need an 8.5 b/e to get me a better fit and less deformed shoe.

Thank you! Sounds like it might be a contender.

Yes. That would be incredible.

I am hoping that this Landon GMTO is successful so that it makes a football grain HM more likely to happen. I also think that a lower priced boot made of football leather would sell better than the expensive shark/shell combo.

i don’t know if you’ve tried them, but the Leeds is the shoe that truly fits me well. Almost everything else is a compromise of some sort

My Club Monaco milkshake suede Leeds do fit rather well and will not be considered for sale. When I was browsing the AE site the other day I was glad to see they’ve made a return. They even look pretty good in that Cigar color.

I really wish these were Strands just so I could see @BFT9000 agonize over passing on a 1 of 1 example

There's a lot going on in that photo...

i have the cigar, it’s a great color.

still beating up my Quoddys also. I haven’t treated them well and they just take it, even with using them year round in our crap weather
