I might have an unworn pair in either 9 or 9.5 (can't remember) heading to B&S.
Moras look great. Unfortunately, they're a very poor fit in my usual size. Otherwise, I'd have taken them off your hands!
Sator did a thread a while back (maybe on AAAC, I don't remember) that showed AE's side by side with EG's and other brands that made you rethink their "clunky" image.
That was great thread.
My father has worn the same pair of Park Avenues to work everyday for the past 11 years. They still look great. No rotation of other work shoes. 1 pair, no joke.
You should snap a pic and post it in the `well worn shoe thread` or whatever it's called.
I picked up a pair of brown Park Aves from chorse a while back and usually wear them once a week. They take a good shine and the color keeps getting better. I hope they last me as long! My other AEs are an unworn pair of black PAs, a pair of brown suede Façonnable split-toe bluchers (AE Colfax?) with Gumlite soles and a pair of black AE Chester wingtips.
I wonder if AE can reshape my Chesters over the #5 last when I eventually send them in for recrafting...As for my PAs, I'm thinking of getting them recrafted elsewhere to see if they can do without the 360 welt and trim the heels closer to the uppers. Actually, I wouldn't mind if the rest of the welt was also trimmed closer.
