Help with Allen Edmonds lasts

[rcoreytaylor]

Hi everyone! I need your help; I live in Canada and have a tough time accessing Allen Edmonds shoes locally at a reasonable price (they tend to sell in Canada at close to twice the US suggested retail price!), therefore I end up purchasing online from the US. The obvious downside to this is that I cannot try on the shoes before I order them, so I'm constantly taking a leap of faith when I order them.

I have a few pairs of discontinued AE's and For reference I'd like to know the last that they were built on. Can anyone tell me the model number or last number of AE Halsted and Soho?

Cheers!

With some exceptions, there should be a series of 4 numbers after the size. The last digit should be the last number.
Example- The Strand In Walnut bears the number 1635. This shoe is made on AE's number 5 last.

Here is what is found marked in the Halsted:

91/2 D 86098 4
1273 0721

I'm assuming that "1273" is the model number and therefore shoe built on a 3 last, but because the way in which the digits are arranged I cannot be sure. Can anyone confirm?


Cheers!


(Regarding the Soho - I've got it, thanks! It's a "0" last)

Halstead = 3 last
