What is Allen Edmonds sleekest shoe?

[KObalto]

I have the Soho and the Weybridge in 10D. I find that the Soho is a little blobbier than I would like, but the Weybridge I find quite sleek. It's my favorite of the AEs.

 

[JLibourel]

In my not-inconsiderable experience with A-Es, I find the #5 last (used for the Park Avenue, Strand, and Fifth Avenue inter alia) hands-down the sleekest.

There are just too many to choose from.

Good post, Scoob.

For the right price, I'll sell you my artist's Proofs, signed and dated, of both "Goodyear welted styles" and "handsewn styles"

I believe these works are either from A. Edmonds' fiberboard or corrected grain periods. Works from both periods appraise similarly so taking a shot in the dark at the exact period isn't much of a risk.

I agree, but the prices on AEs are low enough to make me reconsider. C&Js cost 2x or more than what AEs cost, and one has to make budgetary decisions with these things. I'd love to get a MTO Vass and a few Lobbs too, but that's just not happening.

Anything on the 0 last will be comparatively sleek.

I have one called the Ashton in chili I like quite a bit, but that has a lot to do with how well it fits my feet.

Note how eyelets line up, unlike on Aldens.

Question: scoob's pictorial presents the lasts for the firsts. But what are the lasts for the seconds?

I am not sure which last the Melrose is on, but I was wearing them this morning and they looked un-blobby to me...

As if welted Aldens are so much sleeker. Child please!

I have a pair of Van Ness' that are very sleek.
