What lasts are you 13EEE in Allen Edmonds? Knowing that I can probably tell you. Some you wear EEEE in sneakers I’d bet you’d need EEE, but maybe not! Also, do you have a high instep?I'm about to purchase my first pair of Alden's and I need help....
I've fallen in love with these boots but Im scared its just not meant to be due to my wide feet. In tennis shoes I wear a 13EEEE and in Allen Edmonds I wear a 13EEE. After calling Alden San Francisco and also emailing Alden directly, I have been told that the jumper only comes in EE. But, is it possible that an Alden EE would work for me?
There is an Alden dealer in my town but they keep very little in stock as they are more of a clothing store and they never stock anything in a EE or EEE. So it's not possible to try anything on locally. I went to NYC last year and visited the store there and they didn't have anything in stock in my size to try on.
I would literally buy anything on a barrie last in a 12.5EE or 13EE just to see if it would work, but I can't even find that anywhere out there.
Are there any Alden lovers with wide feet out there that have any experience with this Alden Jumper or any Alden shoes?
I was thinking I would just bite the bullet and order them in a 12.5 EE and a 13 EE and see if either works. The only problem there is that most of the dealers I've spoken to have said there is a no return policy on custom orders, except my local shop who says I can return customs but I have to pay a restocking fee.
Im at a loss and I don't know what to do here. Any advice is appreciated, thank you
