would you mind letting us know if this was a reg store or outlet store ?

Regular store. My coworker bought a pair of of walnut Strands and matching belt.

@FreedBird I flipped and flopped over those for weeks. If I was sure about the size it would have been a no-brainer for me.

Ah that's too bad, at least they are going to a good home! If it helps you at all I typically wear an 8 D, sometimes an 8.5 D and I was swimming in those 8 Es. If you ever see something and you are not 100% on it I am pretty flexible on returns, just send me a message.

Good to know. I also typically wear an 8D. So I'm glad my better judgement won out!

Football Friday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

This is why I love shell. I ordered the seconds of a pair of Truffle McAllisters I ordered awhile back. I thought it might be fun to change the edge dressing and have a beater pair. I put the new one next to the old one, and the variation in the color is pretty cool:



The new pair on the left looks almost ravello, while the one on the right looks like a golden-tinged version of the standard brown. What do you guys think? Is this enough variation for me to change the edge dressing on the new ones and declare them a different pair (and thus keep both pairs)?

Apologies if this has been discussed already, but I just got back from my local store and the sales rep told me that starting 4/11 AE is having a sale. It looked like the list of styles was two pages long, so it's apparently going to be a fairly broad sale. I know for a fact that McAllister in all colors will be $259 and the Clark Streets will be $249. I didn't ask about anything else, I figure we'll find out soon enough, but that's good news.

Looks like the Anniversary sale will be between 4/11 and 4/28, from this http://www.shopbiltmore.com/Shopping/SalesDetails/202131?list=retailershopping . 15-35% off isn't bad. I wonder if they'll have the University's or Dalton's on sale.

Got my 2 for $250 haul last week. Bourbon Portlands and Tan Slatons!

What do you think about MacNeil in burnished burgundy or merlot? Was that the color offered last year as a web gem? Any of you have a pair and/or a photo to share?

Obviously, unless you prefer calf, the burgundy cordovan would be preferable, but pricier.

Anyone know what last the Saunder's are on? Or how they fit compared to the Katmai?

The one of the right looks to be developing some nice two-tone action. I would keep that one.

That looks very nice! Mind if I ask where you purchased those laces? Size and thickness? Thanks in advance.

Nice! What last are those Slatons on? They look like they'd play nice with my fat instep.

They're on the 222 last. A little narrow but probably my best fitting shoes outside my Ridgeways. I have feet flatter than a sheet of plywood, so I can't speak to the high instep fit!

Maiden voyage for the BB Gatsby seconds I picked up

Very dandy shoes
