Since everyone was talking about the Dalton yesterday, I figured I'd break my lone pair out for a day of wear. Not sure what it is about the Dalton, but it takes forrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr to break in. Probably my best fitting pair of AE boots is the Sullivan Street, which is on the same last. Those broke in after like 2 wears and conformed almost perfectly to my foot shape. These Daltons haven't broken in after like 2 years. YMMV.
To be fair, I don't wear the Daltons terribly often, just because they're not the greatest feeling, so it's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. I should probably just put them on and wear them for 2 weeks straight and see how close I can get them to fitting like the Sullivan Street. Or, maybe I'll break down at some point and buy a pair in burgundy or chili shell and move these along somewhere else.
Anyway, these are listed as oxblood, regardless of how they appear in photos. They were someone else's SMU with red Dainite soles that I was happy to nab for a song as seconds from Ashley. They definitely look better in person than they do in an iPotato camera photo.
