    Question for those of you who have used AE recrafting to change the sole/welt on your shoes... To what extent will AE work with you on customizing the sole of your choice? I plan on getting the $125 package + $10 sole conversion to Red Dainite, but would like to specify more specs like...

    @watchidiot those are amazing! Can you share the exact specs for the sole/welt? Thinking of sending in a pair to AE recraft and requesting them...

    Cordovan Shell Westchesters just came in the mail today...can't find any reasons on first inspection as to why they are "seconds," so I m very pleased about that...can't wait to hit them with the Mac Method and get these guys shining! The fit is fairly TTS...maybe ever so slightly on the wide...

    Just saw a pair of Shell Cordovan Westchesters pop up on the Shoebank website so I called CAC to snatch them up....tried to see if I could get some info on what class'd them as seconds, but unfortunately the CAC inventory is in the warehouse and no one can check, unlike the outlet shops...

     FWIW, I found my experience to be similar with the Neumok--because they are unlined, I felt that they were roomier than my normal 65-last shoes. I sized down to a 7.5D from my normal 8.0C size and they fit much better.

    Thanks @watchidiot -- do you think the toe box is roomier, or about the same as the 65-last?

    Can anyone help me size some Grayson loafers in comparison to 65 last sizing? Do you all normally just go with the same size? I've got narrow heels and worried about heel slip with it being a loafer--wondering if i should go down half a size or width...Want to jump on a pair I spotted on the...

     Sorry--I think I did that backwards--in your case, it would be a half-size down and perhaps the same width or maybe just down a width at the same size. In my case (and for some others on the board) I can wear a 7.5D in the unlined 5-last models (i.e. Neumok) but need an 8C for the Strand...

     I've run into the same issue as you--my Strands and McAllisters fit perfect in 8C but the Park Ave and Fifth Ave were both roomy in the heel and toe box...I ended up getting another pair of Strands after returning twice for the same 8C, thinking it was a manufacturing defect on the Fifths...

     Congrats on an awesome pair! Sadly AE cancelled my order due to production issues....incredibly jealous to say the least!

    Touche...touche! To clarify, I was thinking of how it would look in a normal Strand configuration, without all of the contrast stitching and piping that makes the Rush St. a much more casual shoe...

    Ha...I actually thought @mreams99 was referring to the email/ad as ironic given all the drama brought on by the lack of attention to detail by AE as of late...I guess the ad is funny in more ways than one...

    [URL=http://shoebank.com/FactorySecondInventory.php?STY=0300S A page or so back, I actually had the same exact question. Interesting how some folks say that the last is narrow, since I just got in touch with Allison and she mention how its a very full last, and one of the largest they have...

    Anyone know what last the "Brooks Chukka" is on? Looking into ordering a pair from the Shoebank, but would like to have some idea as to what size I should get. Thanks.

    Thanks...my best fitting last, too. :) Will be watching this closely.... Anyone know if the comfort insole will affect typical 5-last sizing?
