Hey guys,

I ordered two pairs of shoes from the 2 for $250 seconds sale awhile ago, and I finally got in touch with the Shoebank today because the RL Singletons didn't fit me, so I'm looking to exchange them for something else for $125. Currently I have PAs in black, Strands in walnut, and some spectators, Looking to see if you guys can help me decide,

- FA (Black, Walnut)
- Neumok (Snuff suede)
- MacNeil (Black grain)
- MacNeil (Blk/Plaid, what does this mean?)
- Neumora (Black)
- Sanford (Black, Walnut)
- Sanderson (Tan)
- Elgin (Tan)
- McTavish (Brown)
- Long Branch (Brown)

I really want the Neumoras but is that 333 last the same as the 5 last? From what I've read it seems like I'd have to size down. Which shoes would you guys choose out of that list? Long Branch?

AE will tell you that the 5 Last is the most narrow. Most people agree. The 3 last, although it has a chisled toe, is actually wider and not quite as long. My opinion of course, but I think most would agree.

Ps- I love my Neumora's, I have them in both black and brown, but the Long Branch is a fantastic casual boot. The vibram sole will be great with winter coming . . .

Are you a size Small? I noticed the same thing. I added four to my cart and it showed "in stock" and then at the last step of check-out just under the product name it said "11/11/14" so I didn't order. A few hours later it said "7/14/14" so again I didn't order. When I tried the same for Medium it showed "in stock" throughout. Unfortunately that's not my size.

Yes, I am an 8D so size Small is what I went with

LOL! This is hilarious. I'm glad that I'm not a small. LOL!

My JosABank racks have been delivered today I snagged them during the last week's sale with the 70% off coupon. That made 3 racks each fitting 4 shoes ~$30. Haven't assembled them yet though.
I can't speak to the quality of the Home Depot racks, but I presume those sold at the Walmart aren't too different. If so, it's OK, but nothing spectacular.

It was kinda a knee jerk decision to buy the 3 pair of MTOs I did. I am more in love with other shoes at the moment and I just want to make some room. I'll be selling Cappuccino Leeds, Dundee and MacNeils. MacNeils are still being made.
Sorry. They are 8D.

why, I am an 8d.....just sayin'.

I get my Jeffersons on Thursday. Why you selling 3 pairs of Cappuccino shoes?

Just making space. Long story short.

They're actually quite solid and literally 8 hex screws to put it all together. Its all good either way I was just spreading the knowledge.

Just notice that AE shoes are on Macys website. I dont think they'll carry them in stores.

I think I'm going to go with the Long Branch since it's getting colder here and I don't think I'll be able to find it again for $125. I'm somewhat indifferent to the chiseled toe on the Neumora and prefer the Mora instead. Also the sizing on those are differently different from the 5 last enough where I don't think the 12D will fit me.

Solid choice, you can't go wrong with the Long Branch. FWIW I think the "Waxy Brown" looks a little nicer

Incorrect, some Macys locations do carry them already… well before they were on the site.

Good to know. I've never seen AE shoes in the local Macys store around here. Macys always have sales and promotions. Have you seen them on sale at Macys stores?

 

[jd13jd13]

I've only seen them at the flagship store on 34th, and never on sale. But I don't frequent the B&M Macy's to often, so I could be wrong about the sales.

If I take a size 8.5D in both the MacNeil and the Shelton, would I be advised to switch to 8E for any 5 last shoes?
I really fancy the Fifth Street boots, but there's no way I'd ever get to try them on this side of the Atlantic.
