I just talked to the Shoebank in Brookfield. They were adamant on not allowing a 1 for $125.

Excited to see pictures of everyone's 2 for $250 pickups after today. I recently picked up a pair of shells, so I don't think I'll be getting any this time around. 

lol. AE has 12+ sales in a year. Last month I picked up 6 pairs of AEs. Total this year I got 10 pairs of ae(9 pairs factory second) . A pair of c&js , 3 pairs of RL marlows , 2 pairs of carminas and few others.
I am tempted to get few more pairs of ae ......

I'm wondering whether I should get an 8.5C or 8.5D Macneil. I have read some reviews saying that the Macneil is wider than the Strands and some people suggest sizing down the width if you prefer the width of the Strands.

I feel that the MacNeils are wider than the 5 last except in the toe box, which I feel is narrower. If I went down in width from my 5 last size, my pinky toe would be killing me. Even in the beginning the MacNeils were causing my pinky toe some discomfort which eventually went away. I do wish the gap on the quarters was not so close though, as I have them tied almost closed.

Just saw on dappered that AE is now sold at Macy's. When did this happen?
Very interesting business move, hope it means more sales on firsts.....As long as quality isn't compromised

That along with selling in the Bay in Canada is very interesting indeed. Becoming more mainstream. As you said, hopefully due to demand the rate of production does not increase and lead to lesser quality.

What do you guys think of the McTavish in black as a casual work shoe?

How about with black dockers?

I bet they will only be offered at large Macy's stores in big cities. The two Macy's in Baton Rouge don't have AEs and I doubt they ever will.

Quick sizing question, I wear 10e on 5 last shoes , on RL singleton and Long Branch should I wear the same size?.

Also is the Slaton and Sanderson made in the same last?

Thanks,

To the gentleman who grabbed the 10D Brooks PAs and the 10D brown Neumoras this morning. You are a lucky man--treat them with the respect they deserve.

When there is only 1 of each there is a chance they were never actually there. I didn't even attempt to get the PAs.

Check out EBay in the coming weeks. There is at least one regular poster on this thread that buys shoes en masse during these seconds sales to flip.

First wearing of the cappuccino shell Strands. This is an interesting color which changes shades quite a bit depending on the light.
