Does anyone have a Dellwood and/or thoughts on the 4 last? Is more 65 or 511?

In my opinion, the 4 last is closer to the 511 (shorter than the 65).

If the 4 is the McGraw, it is wider than the 5 (might be shorter, too)

Hint on RDA from the store. He thinks it'll drop on the 30th. I was in there to buy some trees. Sadly (and stupidly) AE is discontinuing the far superior tree, notice the difference in the heel, for the cheaper tree as the sole option.

That is a shame. I see Woodlore still sells a full selection of better shoetrees, and I was under the impression they were owned by AE.

I heard from AE that the knob trees were "likely" to be discontinued soon. I really like them, but I would use caution if you're buying them for shell. They do put a little more pressure on the uppers, which may or may not be acceptable depending on your shell size. For calf, they work great.

HM today. Don’t tell anyone, but I wore these yesterday too.

Neither. Narrow heel, wide forefoot, lots of volume. https://www.styleforum.net/ams/allen-edmonds-fit-sizing-help.124455/

The McGraw is the only pair of AE shoes I've had to return and it was because they were so tight across the ball of the foot that my bones would pop when I took a step, and the shoe left an imprint on the top of my foot if I wore it for a while. Maybe the pair I got were mislabeled, but they were much narrower than any of the shoes I have on the 5 last. Length seemed similar to my other shoes though.

4 last should be very volumous.

Website has the good knobbed version on a 2 for 50 sale right now. Probably closing them out. Sadly, I threw away the boxes on the two lesser version trees that I bought in the store last week. I still ordered two of the good ones though, so now I have a couple of backup/sneaker trees.

With the office not reopening until at least January, it's day after day of WFH. This summer has been quite bereft of not just AEs, but of footwear in general. While it's still hot out, I'm pretty much all barefoot all the time.

Today, though, I have to drive from the Chicago burbs to northern WI to go pick up Lil' Donkey from school and bring her home for the weekend since we still haven't unlocked the secret to public transportation between her school and home. The Canal Courts get the call for the 4-1/2 hour drive. Oh, and if you think I'm not slapping on the classiest tracksuit in the world to pick her up at her dorm, well . . . you don't know me at all.

Going to my father’s internment today.
