I thought I could live with it, but my OCD is getting to me. Would you return these seconds brown shell strands? I got them during the $299 sale. As you can see there is excess material at the stitching of the cap. It is not as noticeable when looking down from normal viewing distance. The right shoe is fine. It is just this left shoe with too much material that isn't glued down.
Given the historical evidence that we have I think this is certainly coming. They are notorious for having discontinued their best looking models in the past.
I am personally a big fan of the Evanston but it had been discontinued before I even learned of the AE. I don't know who in the right mind would discontinue a shoe this beautiful?

They likely aren't on two different lasts. Instead, it's more plausible the size has been mismarked on one shoe. I'd contact the Shoebank and ship them back first thing in the morning.Thanks guys. I just needed a 2nd/3rd opinion.
My 2nd pair of seconds from the shoebank came in today via fedex. Those DEFINITELY need to go back. Words can't express how disappointed I was with that experience. I was looking forward to the mcallisters all week. I would have accepted scuffs, blemishes, or whatever for that cappuccino/truffle color. But guess what? The two sides were made on different lasts! When I checked the soles, the right side was clearly narrower throughout the shoe with a pointier toe and the left side was a little wider/fuller in the toe area. When I measured the length of the two soles, the right side longer by about half an inch. They are both marked 8.5EEE so I am assuming that the right shoe was made on the 5 last like it was supposed to and the left shoe was made on some unknown/unidentified last.
I am officially 1/2 right now with seconds. I was told that there would be aesthetic imperfections, but sending me a left and right shoe in two different lasts is unacceptable even as a second.
What color are the MacNeil that you posted/received a few weeks ago?
This was my MTO; I am a huge fan and happy they're getting some love! I think the Franciscans are great (obviously!) I would definitely recommend getting them in #8 Cordovan. I was actually planning on switching these to shell but they were already in production. Happy either way, I thunk the Independence Line is underrated here on SF
Good luck with the decision, either way they'll look great!
Yes we did... Sorry, a guy brought it up and I had to say something... I probably need therapy or something, but I'll settle for talking about it on this thread....didn't we have this conversation regarding the Alden thread and its frequenters just a few weeks ago?
multiple times on my accord in the last couple of months in fact.Indeed we had.
It may be funny... but it's also accurate. That thread is legitimately over the top creepy!That title made me literally laugh out loud!
Can anyone pm me Allison's email or ext. number? I can't find it by searching.
I would actually say generally not. AE doesn't want to sell shoes that are structurally defective. That's not in their best interest...
If a shoe is blatantly structurally defective, it isn't released at all.
