ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

[ProfilaBinding]

Sorry for spamming the board today, but I just looked at the AE site and it now states the chili Higgins are "chili chormexcel" . My chili Higgins feel much more soft than my other cxl pairs. Is this really chormexcel?

If you wanted to remove the Poron, it can be done with great effort and a lot of glue thinner. That shoe probably has a texon insole. The cork under it will give you comfort and the glove liner over the insole will make it look decent. Just keep the heel pad.

it's like, why bother..love Poron,,,,

Tan grain HM’s on Itshide commando soles with Christmas laces from Pisgah Range to kick off December. Also a fresh flannel from Iron Heart. Enjoy your weekend!

Seems it’s a Trunk Show delivery kinda day! My first ever pair of Randolph’s look down right good in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Green! I took a leap never having tried on a pair, but they seem to fit just fine. Yay! Navy Stands are enroute too!

Look close, I think that’s a touched up flaw! Other than some sloppy interior glue work and maybe a wild thread end, they look tip top! Lovely green, and I like the Natty welt. That was a full wait for sure though.

I agree..
I said that 4 pairs of the Randolph were enough. It's not enough... That green is fabulous.

If I could wear loafers, I’d be the Strand King of them

HM clownish? I guess I don’t see it…

They have such a bulbous toe that isn’t cut off with any cap toe. On my skinny feet and ankles, the toe is like wearing clown shoes

Thanks, and that's very interesting indeed. My poor wife is surrounded by 3 males, all with November birthdays. I know smfdoc had even more males than me. Anyway, my wife seems to be doing fine and our son seems to be healthy. My oldest son has this bad habit of smelling the shoe trees. I'm sure he didn't learn it from me.

Yep, I had 6 boys and no girls. Then after 4 grandsons, we finally had a granddaughter. She is the first girl born in my direct line in 60 years.

This is a good list. My favorite AE boots are

1. First Ave
2. Dalton
3. Park City
4. Hamilton
5. Fifth Street
6. Landon
7. Nomad Chelsea
8. MD Chukka
9. HM


I haven't yet taken my Freeport home yet from the AE store (monday, wife is out of town, so it works out) to know where it ranks there.

I only have five ae boots.

Mine would be:

1. Dalton.
2. Dundee.
3. Hamilton.
4. Alpine.
5. Caen.

Dentist wearing Crocs????

My dentist wears some all white shoes. They almost look like special orthopedic shoes or like those old Sketcher shoes that have a round sole.

Damn dude, Henry the VIII called and he wants some tips.

Bulbous indeed aren't they

never trust the descriptions. Also congrats on the baby! I’m always lurking; just don’t post as much.

Happy Saturday forum pals. It's wet and cool outside, so a perfect day for the wet weather Thousand Oaks. Oddly, Thousand Oaks, CA is more known for the occasional grass wildfires and unrelated mass shooting than it is for wet weather.

I think it's NOT cxl. The reason? The oils do not move around when I squeeze it or push on it. And thank you. You're one of the many lurkers that should post more, especially with your collection. Post those reverse shell HIggins again sometime..

Looks like a quiet weekend at home today, tomorrow we are hosting my wife's brother and spouse from Florida plus 3 of their married kids (2 of them are locals we see all the time). WTF people from Florida who don't ski are doing in Utah in December I have no idea. I told my wife we should be visiting them.

Marbled Chili Chandlers today. Haven't seen many Chandlers from the TS but I am enjoying mine.
