That will likely be my last purchase for 2015. Any guess as to actual timeline? Any material deets?

Got my new pair of Cognac Dublin McTavish's in the mail. Love the color and leather.




On the bottom of one of the shoes, they fully missed the channel for a few inches in two places when they stitched the soles onto the shoes. Wondering if you guys think this warrants exchanging them? Note that these are firsts, not seconds.

The channel is there to submerge the stitch below the level of the leather so the stitching doesn't directly wear on the ground, so ordinarily I would think it'd be a bigger deal. But as you can see in the pic, this is on the back of the sole where it arches up to the heel, which hardly ever has the chance to come into contact with the ground.

Would you send these back or just wear them?

Cheers,
Kevin

I wouldn't worry. One of my shoes has this, and it hasn't been a problem. That part of the sole doesn't get as much contact with ground as the toe and ball.

Good deal. Someone should pop on this.

Just received my CAVANAUGH SNUFF SUEDE.

Certainly better color than the bitter chocolate suede. Much lighter and anything darker is probably too dark for suede loafers.

Nice collection noob!

Picked up a pair of Allen Edmonds Hillsborough's online new in box, but something is off with the heel. Is this normal/can it be easily fixed through just wearing them? The heel only touches the ground at its most forward point. It will lay flat-ish if I put the shoes on, but I feel the added pressure by the most forward point of the heel. Any thoughts?

 

[misterellington]

I think those have gotta go back.

I've seen a touch of heel-raise, but that looks a bit excessive, and if you're feeling that bit of pressure towards the middle of your foot...call me crazy, but excessive walking in that situation just seems to be a setup for foot pain. Which NO ONE needs.

Send those back for sure. I have to be honest, those are a really ugly shoe.

You should just find me some shell in 12 EEE that I don't have. Then i would buy.

 

[sartorialism]

Does anyone know what model this is? I need it in my size.

I am in no place to dis anyone's style, but I agree with the comment. Man that pair is ugly..

Anyone else dye the the sole's edge/heel into the regular brown for the Bourbon colored shoes?

Not a huge fan of black soles at all, and I sent away all of my bourbons to dye them into the natural brown that AE offers to Walnut, Chili, etc. Cobbler did a great job previously with dying my Navy Suede Cavanaugh. But now it's all about the question of style.

Will post pictures when I receive them next week, but was wondering if anyone else thought of it.
