The Shell Cordovan, non-Alden Shoe and Boot Thread

[Joenobody0]

Because it happens very frequently with AE for all foot shapes. The worst ones look like that without a foot in them!

I'm a bit confused. Why "lazy lasting"? Couldn't it just be that the AE last in question simply doesn't fit his feet well?

I can't wear AEs, at least none made on the "5" last, as they simply don't fit my feet.

I have nothing for or against AE shoes - I'm just confused as to what lazy lasting is and why it couldn't just be a case of the last not being suited to the shape of his foot.

Take a look at the AE thread. Ill bet you'll see this and the mention of bowing occurring quite a bit. I know you can see this mentioned on Amazon in their customer reviews, at least on the Park AVE and I imagine its mentioned on other shoes as well where the customer had to replace their shoes once if not a couple of times. AE is quite well known for their customer support, but they are also fairly well known for their sloppy quality control as well.

Indeed. I have seen that all too often in brand new shoes sitting on the shelf.

****** lasting is step 117 of AE's famous 212 step handmade production process.

Actually I don't think I could go with anything shelf-made anymore. The look I want is just too specific. (Something like this: If you have seen this boot anywhere, please let me know)

We can make a boot like that with Enzo Bonafè if you're willing to pay the custom pattern surcharge.
