I've been eyeing a pair of these myself. Do they fit true to size for you?

I would say so, although I’m thinking of moving them on to be honest as I just don’t wear them much. They’re a bit lightweight for my taste. These are a D width but if you have wider feet I’d be more inclined to go for an E.

What size are they?

I’m not sure you’d be that impressed. I know you like C&J, Church’s, Alden etc, all of which are a cut above in build and finishing. On the exterior my AE look decent but they’re so lightweight, I just question what’s being used on the inside.

Interesting and good to know. Is your pair vintage or more recent?
