Thank you very much!
If I'm honest, I tried these shoes on with every pair of pants I own. They are much harder to pull off than I thought they would be!

Spring has sprung. Time to break out the spectators, Allen Edmonds Carlsbads. Unlike many specs, wear 'em with anything.

I currently have two pairs of #5 last shoes, McAllister and 5th Ave, in 9.5E and I am wondering what size I should get in the #1 last. I'm looking at getting a pair of the Rapid City on the current sale. I don't have a store anywhere near me so I don't really have a way to try anything on.

My guess is to go with 10D. Does that sound about right?

Thanks for the help.

Those do seem a little easier to tame- looking sharp!

Thanks. I get compliments every time I wear them, even from strangers. I love the attention. :)
I have a couple of other AE specs which I will post as I can get to it. CH

Here are some AE Players.

I've been stewin' on those players. I already have a cream pair I got in Italy, but those look so nice! I've already bought 4 pair of shoes this year- my wife's gonna start packing up if I get another pair of players!

Take a chance on the 9.5Es. I am a 9.5D on 5lasts and I wear the same on the 1 last shoes.

Do you guys bother with Sole Savers or Topy sole pads with your new shoes?

I think they are the the cheapest and easiest way to preserve your good shoes . I also think the ones made by vibram are the best
