Allen-Edmonds Player's shoe sizing, Need Help!!

[tiobi]

Hi everyone,
I'm really interested on buying my first pair of AE. I really like the player's shoe, Really nice suede wingtip but as it is my first pair i need to know what size to order, and how this style runs. I know AE has a lot of fits (called last) that's why i need to know about it. I'm overseas (Dominican Republic) and they don't carry AE shoes here. All my shoes need to be order online or when i'm on a trip to the states.

The shoe is this one:

I'm 9 or 9.5D in almost all my shoes and i plan to wear them without socks (so i don't want to feel them loose)

What size do you suggest i need to buy? Do they run true to size? true to width? If i got the wrong fit it would be really difficult for me to send them back for an exchange.

i hope you understand my point since my english is not that good.

Please Help, i want this shoes badly!!

I think the Players Shoe is on the Executive 2 last - I have a couple of other AE's on that last, and in my limited experience, they run true to size - I take an 8D on that last, and am an 8 in most other shoes. Good luck!

Send a PM to 'allaboutshoes'. He can help you with this, and he possibly may be able to get you a better deal.

I have a pair of these and I find them pretty narrow. I have a wide foot, so I almost returned them, but they have stretched a bit and fit better now.

Thank you, any other advice?

Hey PMonkey, Do you thing if you have ordered "E" width it would fitted you well? What size do you wear more often and what size did tou buy them?

I own of pair of these in sand suede.
Size? Strange at times they feel stiff /tight. In the past I ordered my other AE shoes an E width so there was almost too much room and i typically use insoles. With these players, i have no insoles and they feel snug till I've been in them a while, then they feel fine -no room for insoles and I did not order an "E" width but my normal "D" width. The sole is thick leather, which i wanted, and it is substantial. The shoe seems sturdy. i've been wearing them constantly -they work great with jeans / linen jacket IMO.
I ordered mine from AE directly and so i had a return option if the fit was not right. All in all I'd stick to my size. Fun shoes. Good to have a spring shoe that isn't a blazing white and one that looks better once its dirtied up a little.

Go with your Park Avenue size. How is your sand suede holding up thus far? Looks like an original and easy-to-match color.
