    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    Wore my burgundy cordovan Cambridges today in rainy NYC and I accidentally stepped in a puddle of garbage water.... They STINK now. When I say I stepped in a puddle...it mustve really been half a foot deep on the sidewalk since the whole shoe was COVERED in this nasty sour smelling liquid...

    I'm on the other side of the coin. Love the shoes, but have too many brown shoes. Wish they offered this in oxblood or merlot (though I may consider Walnut)

    So what have people done for their cordovan special makeups so far? I'm interested in perhaps doing the Cornwallis in burgundy shell... but I don't know my size in that last yet - I only have experience with the 5, 8 and 1 lasts. I am always amazed by the creativity of SF members.

    Awesome - are only black/burgundy and brown shell available for all styles? Thanks!

    Hah- I have this conversation weekly with my wife. She claims all my shoes "look the same". I proceed to explain to her the difference between blucher vs. balmoral; plain toe vs. cap toe. vs. brogue; shortwing vs. longwing; shell vs calf, etc. Her eyes just glaze over in defeat...works every time.

    Interesting proposition. What color shell do they have - burgundy, brown and black?

    Oxblood was a tad too light and flashy for me so I let some renouvateur sit in the leather for 20 min and hit the shoes with some merlot Polish. Loving these so far...they are at the right height so they did not bother my ankles during the break-in stage like my fifth street and dundees did.

    Picked up a pair of Daltons. I am ready for Northeast fall and winter to come!

    Cordovan Dundees are on their maiden voyage today. The sides are killing my ankles because they are not broken in yet. I hope the pain is worth it! I love the look of broken in cordovan

    Slowly building up my shell collection during these sales. My humble count is up to 4. I hope to add a pair or 2 more in a lighter walnut/whiskey shade and I'll be good. The Dundees are my latest acquisition.

    Snuff suede Amoks I picked up a few years back for $99. I haven't bought any AE lately but I'm patiently awaiting oxblood Dalton's from this sale. I wish I lived in a place where the weather is like fall in the Northeast year-round so I can wear boots more often! Have a blessed Sunday ya'll...

    Back in the game! Pounced on a pair of oxblood Dalton seconds during this sale after being off of this site for a while. Glad to be back.

    The Official Carmina Sizing Thread

    Just jumped and got my first pair of Carminas from Sko this week (Black captoe in the Rain Last). Now I am addicted! I have a higher instep and wider feet and am usually an 8.5E in AE's 5 last. The Rain last Balmoral in 8UK fits me almost perfectly in all regards (great around the toebox, ball...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    New to Carmina- used to wearing AE 5 last in 8.5E. I was able to try on the 8UK in the Rain last (balmoral) and Inca Last (double monks) and found that the Inca fit looser than the Rain, which was surprising, since most on here say that the Inca is generally narrower than the Rain. What size...

    Interested in the Harrison myself. How is the instep of the 333 compared to the 5? I am a 8.5E on the 5...slightly wide foot, but high instep....wondering if I should just get the 8.5D for the Harrison. Also, how does the new 201 last compare to the 5?

    Thanks for the in person pic. How do the Warwick and Rogue fit compared to your standard 5 last?

    I've been out of the SF game for a good bit, but took some time with my bottle of Saphir and a few pairs AEs last night. I realized that most of my AEs are of the dark brown brogue persuasion and that I should really get some plaintoes in different colors soon. Does anybody have the details for...

    Any word on the shoebank's deal on cordovan for RDA? I missed out on the last sale from the shoebank on cordovan for $329 a few weeks back

    Suitsupply NYC

    Interested in this as well. Seems to be similar fabrics and claims to be half-canvassed. Ordered 2 as workhorse suits for work, as the Napoli fits me pretty well for a conservative work environment- will report back.

    I like the concept of the U-Wing, and it looked pretty well executed when AE posted a walnut prototype in the wild a while back. I would much rather have a plain toe though, as it is a little busy. Something like Carmina's U-Wing would be perfect
