AE last comparison

[DC_lawstd]

I have been wearing a pair of AE Dryden's (Last no.2) all summer and before I buy another pair of AE shoes, I ned to get my sizing nailed down a little more. I wear a 9D in almost every other shoe I own but the AE no.2 last is a bit roomy. I can still get through the day fine - they don't hurt my feet, but the bal laces completely touch and there is just some extra space. I think a narrower 9 would probably have fit perfect. My next purchase is a pair of PAs -- how does that no.5 compare to the no.2?

I would suggest starting with the same size (9D) for the Park Ave. The #5 is a narrow last so it should be a good fit based on your comments.

To add on to this, can anyone give a description of the various lasts for AE - thin vs. wide, high arch vs. lower? Where do the list the last on the web site? What else is useful to know?

FWIW, i have both the Dryden and PA in the same size and width

Thought of an insole to solve this problem?
