Quick q:

Any love for the LaSalle?

I had the Chili LaSalle's, loved them. Great with business casual or chinos, even dressy jeans. They do have the poron insole, which I love as it's super comfortable, but some believe will decrease the useful life of the shoe.

Just spoke with Allison. As many of you know, helping us on SF with our MTO requests is only one of her responsibilities. She, as well as most of the outlet locations, is currently inundated with requests from the 2/$250 sale. She asked for me to relay the message that she hasn't forgotten about anyone's inquiries, she's just quite busy.

I love amazon.

Got a pair of fifth avenues for about $120s + tax... brand new (not seconds). Wasn't suppose to be this low. Suppose to be getting it at $210 but I'm not sure what they did when they applied the promotion code but it made it much much lower. I'm not complaining =). First pair of AEs and I'm excited it'll arrive today.

Thanks!

Does the insole affect the sizing, as with the Brooks models?

I found it to be slightly more snug in a resting position but I would not change sizes because of it. I also thought that once walking in them you kind of sink into the insole which made them lose a bit of tightness if that makes sense.

I think it depends on your foot. I jump from an 8.0E in the 5-last on leather insole shoes, to an 8.5D on poron insole shoes due to the decrease in interior volume. I understand, this is not the case for everyone.

Gotta love these sales, nice way to try a lot of new styles. Snagged Eagle Country, Elgin, Bruce, and Finch. Probably the sale dregs but that's cool.
