I think you'd have better luck making the light one darker.

@JLC2: Wear the Neumoks, pack the Strands. One pair of trees, to be in whatever shoes you wore that day. You can use lightweight/plastic trees if you don't want to bring cedar.
Well, crap. I really like the color of the right shoe (the one on the left). It kind of reminds of me Orange Fury's strands.

Over my lunch break, I looked at the ShoeBank's inventory in size 9D, to browse potential birthday presents for a friend of mine. As someone who wears a very unusual size, I was blown away by the number and variety of styles available in more normal sizes; I had assumed that, the more popular the size, the more picked over the inventory would be. Black pebble grain McNeils, chili MacGregors, snuff suede Gobis, brown McGraws or Patriots, the merlot collection. . . one could assemble a solid rotation for five or six hundred bucks.
My first AE is a pair of Chili Byron that I picked up as NOS from eBay. The color was slightly off between the left and right. I have worn it many times and have used the same color cream to polish them, but the color hasn't changed a bit. Mine are wearable and the difference is much more subtle than these Strands. Keep in mind that bourbon is very tricky. With aggressive treatment, you may actually mess it up pretty good.
Did anyone else see this story about the recommended slaughter of 45,000 wild horses?

I think I remember that 9D is the size that AE sends to all their stores as "samples". That is, a store is sure to stock a 9d over all the other sizes. Esp. when a new model comes out. You go into the store and ask, "Can I see the new Alumnus in 12E?" They don't have that in stock, of course, but they'll let you oogle over their Alumnus in 9D.Over my lunch break, I looked at the ShoeBank's inventory in size 9D, to browse potential birthday presents for a friend of mine.

What would they do with that many horses?
It seems like a waste. Would they at least process the meat and leather?
How do you guys handle shoes and travel?
I'm new to proper shoes, but not to travel.
Here's my dilemma, I finally have my starter-set of AE's and am about to spend a week away at a conference and in meetings. In the past, I would have tried to wear one pair and pack another that goes with a bunch of outfits.
Now, I'd like to not wear a good pair too many days in a row, and I'd also like to be out in my new shoes.
I won't be wearing any suits. It will be chinos and jeans with shirts most of the time, a few meetings will call for a sportcoat.
I can make a case for the navy neumok, the natty HM, and the walnut strands. But that seems like a lot of shoes...
It's a 5 hour direct flight.
My usual flying shoes are a pair of vans or some Clarks driving mocossins.
Any suggestions?
The boots might be a bit much for a long-ish flight, but also large to pack.
Do you guys bring trees for each pair?
