Cole Haan look like they're made of plastic. You can do better by shopping around. If you feel daring, try looking for Allen Edmonds Park Avenue on eBay.

Thanks to everyone for their input. I managed to find a retailer for Edward Greens in town. I'm going to take a look this weekend. However, a friend noted that their cost up here start at around $1000 + tax so that may not be an option. I'm going to try and find AE also. I wish I could afford the G&G's as they really are very nice...not to mention I don't think they have a single Canadian retailer.

E are 30% off on Amazon this week. I think Park Avenues come out to ~$227 with free shipping.

Is this a good deal?

I actually came here to post that question as well.

The Strand goes down to about $206 after the 30% off.

Is it worth it?

You could find Park Avenues on ebay for a good price, but here's an alternative: Loake Dorchester Not so expensive that a scratch would break your heart and it fulfills minimum standards of appearance. I have them and am fairly happy with them. Size down 1 full size from your AE size, give them a nice shine and you're good.
