I was in NYC last Wednesday and stopped by Saks to pick these up. They are Ashby's on the 606 in Burnt Pine.
A couple comments / questions:
1) The regular price at Saks is now $1050; the first discount was to $786.90 (25%); it was then marked down to $550.83 (additional 30%). Paid $13 to have them shipped to me and avoid the tax and then got 10% off for opening a Saks account - so its going to be $507.45 out the door. A pretty good deal I think (as much as paying over $500 for shoes can be considered a good deal.)
2) The pics are "just out of the box" - that's why no shoe trees (so don't get on me for that).
3) The box that they were sent to me is was a "dark green" (not the current teal) and the handwritten size was 7.5/8 though there was a 9.5-10 sticker over it. It was also for an Ashby 606 in Burnt Pine. I am guessing they just put these in an old box or boxes got switched - but could it be something else? Anyway - the box had an old price sticker of $725 - do you think this means I got some "old shoes". There are no signs of wear on the soles- though its possible they were worn on carpet only and returned. Any idea when the prices were that much lower?
4) I got both bags and a cloth with the shoes - what's the cloth for?
Hope to wear them sometime this week:
