RM Williams Boots - Everything You Wanted to Know
Can anyone comment on the Comfort Craftsman soles? Specifically, from the side, does it look more like a rubber sole or does it look more like a leather sole with a Topy? Thanks!- ElDave

It's been fun, but Burzan just won the Seconds Game. Pack up and head home, everybody. In all seriousness, I would have no issue with the flaws that made these seconds and would absolutely purchase exact similar ones if they were available in my size.- ElDave

While I'm sorry the purchase didn't work out, this certainly doesn't invalidate the TSM seconds list as a viable option. I've only purchased from the TSM seconds list once, but the Ravello chukkas I received were, as far as I could tell, perfect. Look at it this way: purchasing any second...- ElDave

I agree regarding the the Sanderson last being better for another design, particularly if they just switched it from a long- to a short-wing. Regarding which is "better," I certainly like the Alden better, at least when it's not on my foot. Unfortunately, while I love the natural welt and...- ElDave

I could see the uneven lacing or the off center cap making it through QC, but the blotch on each side...wow. That's extremely disappointing. I know a lot of companies are running short on CXL so they're letting blemishes get through (and, truth be told, a lot of the "blemishes" people get...- ElDave

I'm curious - because I tend to be very strict in the "dark bals with suits" idea - which of these two rule-breaking scenarios is preferable? A) walnut or bourbon bal B) black loafer You can buy a pair of New Balance 990 for $155. They are less expensive and at least as comfortable...- ElDave

First time I've seen these (other than AE's photos on the website.) This is a great looking shoe. My snap judgment was that it was a Carmina or something other than AE.- ElDave

I purchased a pair of Alden for Brooks Brothers unlined color 8 loafers where the right shoe had been a display model and it had a similar issue. The difference on these was even more dramatic though. I originally tried AE's burgundy cordovan creme but it didn't look good. It sat on top of...- ElDave

Unrelated to the current sale, but I bought a pair of black grain Sanibels as a travel loafer ($125 on Amazon in my slightly unusual size) and, for something nondescript and easy on/off, these are great loafers.- ElDave

I think this fits you nicely. More modern fits (cropped and whatnot) are generally not my taste but I think this works very well for you.- ElDave

Is the concensus that Mora 2.0 (108 last) sizing is the same as Park Avenue (5 last) sizing?- ElDave

This and the MacNeil 5 with the red brick sole are the top contenders for my summer shoe purchase, but I think the Rush Street might've taken the lead with these pictures. If only they called this one the Clark Street (I live on Clark in Chicago.)- ElDave

Gents, I've been out of the Alden area for a while...is anybody currently offering a black Indy with a dark welt? Basically one like the black cordovan but in calf.- ElDave

For the price, I'd certainly be fine with those. They're inherently casual and I'd gladly wear them as my sh*t-kickers. Maybe go-to Friday shoes that you'll likely wear to a bar for happy hour. Accumulate some of your own stains and eventually it'll hit the threshold of patina and when you...- ElDave

For what it's worth, I'd probably contact the vendor and see if they'll toss you a couple bucks. On one hand, yes, they sent you shoes with a slight flaw. On the other hand, you bought light colored suede boots and you'll surely accumulate more stains and scratches than that. It...- ElDave

Are you dragging the heel since they're such heavy boots?- ElDave

They aren't available in my size, but I'd definitely buy them at that price if I could.- ElDave
