I'm not usually one to shop for shoes. However, I visited Nordstrom Rack recently and walked away with a sexy pair of Silvano Sassettis. That caused sort of a shoe bug in me and I've been looking for new shoes ever since. I found a slightly used pair of Allen Edmonds Park Avenue on Ebay and I paid $148 (offered $135 plus shipping) for the pair. They looked only to have been worn a couple of times and had two drill marks on the bottom of one of the soles.
Anyway... so I received them. They look bulky, the seams aren't flush and are too noticeable IMO... although I've been recommended Allen Edmonds for years (I usually bought Johnston Murphy, but I have not needed a pair for a while). Anyway... These Park Aves seem even more rounded and conservative than the JM Hyde Park's I had.
I feel some regret. They are definitely more comfortable than the JMs... just as comfy, but not as beautiful as the Sassettis.
Sigh. I think these are too conservative for me... who would have thunk that? Not I.
