I've used B Nelson at Rock Center, but haven't had a pair resoled in a little bit.

My bad. Good recommendation

(2) Id rather get something a little more interesting from C&J than a black bal.

So, where can I get a pair of Park Aves (black or brown 10D) at a discount and what should I exchange the Connaughts for?

Skyvalet had AE's on a modest sale - maybe PA's, maybe not.

But the C&J's chorse suggested are better shoes.
As a quick note, I believe the current sale at Nordstroms is only for women and children. Menswear will not be on sale again, at the main store anyways, until after X-mas.

How about the dorchester? A westbourne without the elongated "****" 348 last? Not sure if p.lal has them.
