Any chance you could take a few more photos and post them before you send them back?

I received my rush streets yesterday afternoon and I have mixed feelings. The look is just what I expected it to be but the leather around the laces and heel were in VERY poor shape. It might be hard to see because of the lighting. Also, they apparently run a half size long so they are going back as an exchange. I'm giving them another shot on the quality in a smaller size.

I probably would look past it if they were seconds and were the right size given the location. The shoes are great looking otherwise and very comfortable. I'd be lying if I said I didn't expect better at full price.

If anyone in the DC area is interested, Vincenzo's in town to help open the new store at city center. Today he's at the store on Connecticut Avenue.

I love how people like Vincenzo, Allison, Kristle, and Mr. Graangard have become minor celebrities in this thread.

Has anyone tried chamberlains leather milk in place of AE cleaner/conditioner? Just thought it might be more convenient to just keep one on hand.

I need a new pair of chukkas and these clearance prices seem pretty good.

Opinions on Mojave vs Amok?

Mojave ($177, crepe sole):

Amok ($147, leather sole):

I've read a few reviews which complained about the Amoks quickly developing a squeak. Does anyone know if AE have addressed the squeaking problem?

Also interested in the Amok. Can anyone comment on durability and build quality? Looks like a nice casual beater for the warmer months?

I love my Amoks. I tried to do an MTO recently as was told they would no longer produce them. Grab them while you can

Funny things is that the site states: "Order Now. Handcrafted for you in 8 Weeks." So it would appear that they are all custom orders in a sense...so why are they on clearance?

Don't sleep on the Rush Street. I've seen it in person and the golden brown Chromexcel is terrific. I'm glad to see AE is moving back in the direction of CXL. If they can start using some cool colors (Color 8, navy, green, etc.), against my will I might have to go on another buying spree.

I'd agree with this... as I stated before I really love the shoe from a looks/comfort standpoint. They are pretty sexy. I would just like to see a pair of better quality out of the box.

Sitting in the airport in Denver, after being stranded on the west coast for a few extra days. My Wolverine 744s are going to come in handy once I get back to PA. These are comfortable enough to travel in, with no issues whatsoever.

Something's amiss here. It allows me to add them to my cart, but when I go to submit payment a message comes up saying they are out of stock. Seems like a huge discount (well over the 20% the sale mentions), so I wonder if this price is an error.

Yep, same for me. It appears to be a pricing error. $125 is a ridiculous deal!
