Malvern sports the better suede out of those 3...
Tried the Quinton in brown suede. Not a huge fan. Suede seemed pretty cheap. Sending them back for a 9.5 Bayfield Brown Chromexcel.
Anyone have any experience with this shoe?
So what site do you guys buy your shoes from?
Can anyone comment on the suede used in Malverns, Katmais, and the newer Amoks?
I'm looking to get a pair of suede ankle boots but am a little worried about all the posts about the suede used in Amoks (possibly limited to the first batches) aren't exactly top grade stuff.
We should spam him with similar messages until his computer catches fire.
Dark brown shell cordovan Strand. I must say though, don't rule out a burgundy shell shoe, if you don't already have them. Burgundy is a classic color for men's dress shoes. For Oxfords, check out the Cambridge or Park Ave in burgundy shell or calf.What is your favorite dark brown (not walnut) oxford AE? Can you provide photos?
Great choices! I really like those Lombards, unfortunately the Lombard doesn't work with my foot. The 2 last is just too narrow. Enjoy!
That's good you figured out your size - that's what just didn't work for me on those boots. You bought first quality shoes (and it sounds like you didn't get first quality). If you are unhappy with the option your retailer gave you, give AE a chance to make it right. Their customer service is typically great, I trust you will find the same.I have just received my AE Fifth st boots today. I am US8EEE since they don’t come in EEE ordered US8.4D. They are a bit long and also plenty of room on the toe box. To be honest a bit disappointed with the pair. This is my first pair of AE. I did compare them with my 2 pairs of RL US8D (Sanderson and Singleton – both made by ae) both of them were extremely narrow. So I went ½ size up. But realized they are made on different last.
Anyway there are few blemish on leather here and there(seems like leather was bent and uneven and they look quite deep and scuff marks) few major stitching issue as well. Sorry I am not complaining about AE. I guess reading all compliments regarding Ae I was under the impression they would be really be RL quality.
I will post picture on the stitching issue over the weekend. There is a double stitching size of 2/3 inch on the side of the eyelet’s. And due to that there is a visible dimple. Returning not an option as I am in Australia. Will cost me over$70 to ship back to us.
Do you guys think its worth approaching endless and asking for a further discount as the condition they arrived is quite poor.

Since I got my Malvern's for a hundred bucks, I really don't much care if Alden or C&J have better suede....
