I'm on the wait list for the #8 PCT boots at J.Crew and was waiting on a 11/14 ship date. Was informed this morning that it is now delayed with a ship date of 2/25/13. Disappointed as I was hoping to be wearing them in a week.

I'd consider dropping out but it's a nice boot at a decent price and I have a 10% discount on them so I'm going to hang in there.

PSA: cigar PTB restocked at Alden SF. Size 10 is already gone.
I love them, but totally broke at the moment

I had a dream (nightmare?) last night where I was caught in the rain wearing a pair of non-Alden Defendered Alden shells on their maiden voyage, and severe welting immediately ensued.

This is a gorgeous shade of Cigar. Love the lighter undertones.

Do you guys prefer Alden or Allen Edmonds? I love both but can't decide! Aldens on the left.









Also I just started a thread on this--"

I bought some park avenues today and have an issue: My left foot is a little wider than my right foot. The right shoe fits perfectly, but the left shoe feels a little tight on the outer-left side. I'm not sure if I should just live with it or if there's another solution.

Any thoughts?

 

[FENWAY]

^ Yeah, that would never happen with Alden

 

[thebeebs]

^ Seems like a great question for the AE forum. I think we all have this problem to some degree, as no two feet are the same, including your own two feet. I buy shoes for my larger foot, and the smaller foot thus gets a little more room. Sounds like you did just the opposite, so you may either need to wear them a bit until the leather stretches, and if it doesn't, look into having them stretched. Or you can return them and get a size wider if it isn't too late. The last on which Park Aves are made is the longest/narrowest made by AE.

Sorry, I thought I was posting in the AE thread. Thanks for responding though.

Did a lil mac method to my Alden shoes tonight. Thinking a PTB or some sort of suede boot is next to purchase.. dunno

(They both are much darker in real life for some reason)
