Just think about how much nicer it could look with the lighter welt!

Well, the light mud caked onto it creates a reasonable facsimile, and it's still not appreciably better.

@kahuna75 I Know the woman you mean - blonde haired lady. She is always polite and helpful.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday while I was there - the floor models are in pretty bad shape. There is a walnut 5th Ave with no stitching at all on the cap toe. Its quite funny. I know that that shoe has been displayed like that since 2011, at the least.

This pic makes me like the Gobi Chukka in the brown leather

Yes that is her, sorry I missed you. Unless you were the guy exchanging the black boots...that was the only other person in there when I was there.

Hi. Guys,

How's the quality of AE suede?, never seen their suede in person, I have Alden suede which I like and I'm thinking about ordering a snuff suede Gobi, is AE suede similar to Alden in quality?

TIA.

The brown leather gobi does look really smart!

AE suede is nice. I have the amok and strand in suede. I like them both.

I've handled better suede from the likes of PRL made in england/italy shoes, but I don't have any complaints.

I'm looking at picking up (more like exchanging) a pair of McAllisters and am in between bourbon and burnished chili...anyone have any recommendations for one vs. the other? I don't have a shoe in either of these colors.

They changed them this season. Yours should have the vibram gumlite sole too. That was also changed from the Regular (?) Vibram Commando sole.
