NJ REPRESENT!
I am in NYC, but will most likely move to NJ in 1-2 years as the kid will be getting close to school age and I'd like to have a little more space. I have been going to the Paramus store since it opened. I find Kirsten to be a great SM to work with.
Because so many of their colors these days are burnished. And not just colors that are "created" by burnishing like Bourbon. Even staples like Walnut and Dark Brown are now burnished. Burnished means that the color of the shoe is modified by applying a different color shoe polish by a burnishing wheel. And if there's one thing the AE conditioner/cleaner did very well, it's stripping off old shoe polish. I'm guessing they got tired of people returning shoes that were "ruined" by using it and so just dropped the product.
This is disheartening - I've always used Saphir Renevateur on all my shoes (including walnut strands) and never had an issue. I assumed this was pretty close to the AE stuff. Is the new walnut (my strands are maybe 2 or 3 years old?) different? It's never changed colors on me!

Should you decide to resell any of your shoes, there are those on Ebay who value purchasing the shoes with the original box and it will kick the value up a an extra $20, a little more if it is bags and boxes.Storage Question: Do you guys keep your boxes for the shoes? I have started stacking the smaller ones inside the bigger ones but I'm still running out of room!
Small question for you all, do I really need shoe trees for my boat shoes? They seem to hold shape well without them.

Kristen is great, and I've had good experiences with the others. Paramus is now my go to. Its about the same travel distance for me as Short Hills, but I'd rather go to Paramus even if the traffic is less consistent. Plus they can order firsts, and the retail stores can't order seconds.
Just one more thing - if you've ever had trouble with the vamp pressing down on you, ever at all, definitely go with the suede - trust me on that. Otherwise you're good to go.
