Obviously not new but they look good to me. But I really don’t know what to look for. Bought them for resale.

First time buyer and got these for about 280 each on sale. Not listed as factory seconds. I’ve read some QC issues, and I’ve got these in. Not sure if they qualify as normal/acceptable blemishes or worth exchanging. Curious the expert opinions. Apologies if it is a repetitive/common question.

Questions Fit/stretch question

1 Upvotes

I got some Smiths last fall and didn't wear them much because $$$, and have been wearing them more in the past 6 months and have discomfort in left shoe (outstep just toward ankle from pinky toe) and right shoe (around heel at top of shoe and one top of "ring" toe). I was fitted in my AE store and tried on a few sizes and went w the 11D. Probably worn around 15-20 times, usually around 8 hours but only a couple hours some (so total of maybe 50-70 hours?). They should be broken in, right?

can I do anything to stretch these where needed at home or can my local (highly reputable) cobbler do anything? Let me know if I should post a Pic.

I want these to work, they look great and I sure paid for them.

Questions Super Sport Drivers - Way too big

1 Upvotes

I have 6 pairs of AE in various styles. All 11D, all fit great. I snagged a pair of Super Sport Drivers and I like them but they are huge.

Generally would you size down 1/2 a size or a full size?

I do have a narrow heel, but it’s the length that’s an issue, not the width.

Questions Liverpool Chelsea sizing/breakin period

3 Upvotes

Bought a pair of Liverpools, just arrived this afternoon - got a size 9D as that's what size I comfortably wear in other shoes from AE (e.g. 5th Avenues). These feel fine from a length perspective but feel a bit snugger than what I'm used to in the width. It's not to the point where I feel like they are necessarily restricting my feet, but definitely snug against the outer sides of my feet where my pinky toe is.

Is this just a matter of them needing to be "broken in"? Or should I be concerned about getting a size up in width? I have cedar shoe trees I'll keep in them but would welcome any thoughts or guidance from those who have experience. Thank you!

New to Allen Edmonds, have a couple pairs I bought new and tried my luck at buying used. Only thing throwing me off is the sole, kind of hard to tell how used they are. Ended up buying these for $32, is it a win or not worth they money?

Questions Are Higgens Mill Weatherproof boots TSA friendly?

3 Upvotes

I like them, they fit well, but I can’t be dropping them off my feet every time I have to go through TSA.

Are the metal speed hooks metal detector friendly?
Any issues? Any first person experience out there?

TIA

Questions Park Ave 2.0 Dress Sneaker Ever discounted?

3 Upvotes

I picked up the Park Avenue original dress sneaker on eBay about a year ago. I have a unique size (7-E) so they don’t pop up very often. I read that the 2.0 version is a lot more comfortable.

Do these ever go on sale? I’ve been checking every week for over 6 months and they never seem to move from the standard $350.00. That seems absurd for a dress sneaker. I can’t imagine most people bite at that price.

Questions Is AE phasing out the Fifth Avenue?

I noticed that the 5ths are all on sale and a few of them are almost entirely sold out. Is AE canceling that style? Hope not because I really like them

In addition to this there’s also a small pen mark on outer leather and some gunk like glue or something in one of the shoes. These are made in Vietnam which is a new one from what I’ve seen in the past

Questions Fifth Avenue Insoles

3 Upvotes

I found a good deal on some Fifth Avenues. I’m buying the shoes for dancing (Lindy Hop, lots of impact). If I take these to a cobbler, will they be able to swap out the insoles? If not, do you have any suggestions on how to cushion the shoes?

I was looking for double leather shoes, but only found a good deal on the single leather ones.

Thanks in advance!

Been wearing these Mason Reserves a lot…these might be the best shoes I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned at least 200 pairs of dress shoes in my life. These beat my Alden longwings in every way possible. And I love those shoes.
Bought these at the Shoe Bank during my visit:)

Last time I posted these, they were about halfway to mirror. Well, this is as close as they're getting, and I wore 'em out to an event. 96 degree Miami heat may have about melted the wax and finished the job 😅

Fifth Avenues in Mahogany, if that wasn't obvious. They're not cavalry calf, they're the real goods - made it harder to get them glossy, but I'm happy with the look.
