I would go with the Sanfords. The Sanford is a blucher and you seem to be OK on balmorals.



I also feel the more casual walnut and more formal Park Avenue style can conflict a bit.

Chris


Agreed on walnut being iffy for PAs. If it was the other way around (darker brown pa and lighter shade of brown strands) this deal would be money.

Second question is how the Sanford last compares to the 5 last? Both the strands and Sanfords are on the same size list. I feel comfortable grabbing the strands based on how my pa fit but the Sanfords are not available in the next half size.

I would second the Sanfords. It is a beautiful shoe which can be dressed up and down easily. I feel that the use of Park Avenue in walnut will be limited.

Not mad in the least that people want to take advantage of sells. That's the American way, go for it.

What I find incredibly humorous is the people that ***** that they can't get what they want on sale or when they get the sale item, they are not happy to because there is some minor flaw. Good grief, I too take advantage of sales, but I don't ***** about everything little problem or that I can't get exactly what I want.

Stop and think about it, AE products great products for a very fair price even at their full retail prices. Just do me a favor before you want to flame on me, go back through this thread and read it with an objective point of view. Look at all the posts on "poor" AE quality, bitching about "Ican't get this or can't get that for a sale or reduce price." When you look at it from an objective point of view, you can't help but wonder, "what the hell do these people want?"

And if all AE customers were like many of the guys on this thread, AE would be out of business very quickly.


I do agree that people shouldn't buy seconds if they expect first quality.

Hmmm, anyone see the new Baton Rouge's put up?  What are your thoughts/opinions on it?

And shout out to Baton Rouge, LA (esp since they have the New Orleans) =] @OptoDoc

It's been up for a while now, but I imagine it hasn't been talked about much on account of how . . . interesting it is.


I like it a lot. If I didn't already have a navy casual shoe...

I am going to agree with you. I think the Walnut Strand is much more versatile than the Rush Street. I recently bought the Rush Streets and they are great - but they are definitely a more casual shoe. I personally will not wear my Rush Streets with a suit.

The Walnut Strands can do a suit and can also pull off jeans.

Chris


Agree, walnut strands are the way to go here. Rush Streets are a great casual shoe, and could be more useful depending on what you normall wear. If I was a chinos/jeans person more than 50% of the time, then I would go with the Rush Streets. Dainite soles are the bomb.

Just saw the BR in person . . . not impressed.  Sorry, Chris and OptoDoc - hopefully the next shoe so named will be worthy of your hometown!


Last year, AE introduced a shoe called Cornelius, which is my last name. Unfortunately, it's a loafer with tassels and kiltie, both of which I personally can't stand. Why couldn't they have made it a derby or Adelaide?

I wear mostly jeans, want to wear occasional slacks. I do wear blazers to work. I think the walnut strand would just work well for that plus my navy suit. Plus, the walnut color is not common and thus more striking than the brown CXL.

I have the Sanford in the same size as my Strands and the fit is very similar for me.
