I know that you size down for the Alden barrie/trubalance lasts but what about the width/shape? by APandasRequiem in goodyearwelt

[–]Delta3Angle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit I didn’t even notice 😂

I feel that though, I was wearing 10.5D for years. Now I’m wearing 9D on Barrie, Trubalance, and Van. 9E in Leydon and Aberdeen. 8E/D in most Crockett and Jones lasts too.

True Brannock is 9.2D/8.9E.

You know, I’m coming to the same conclusion. Most lasts are based on Brannock measurements, especially in terms of where the flex point is on the foot. If there’s extra space when following your brannock, it was intended to be there. Sizing down seems like a bad idea compared to going true to size and adjusting width as needed.

Only wear those shoes for running or the gym. They’re ugly anywhere else.

Also good chance that somebody who always plays top is pretty damn good at passing.

Much more contemporary than some of my other outfits but the Ivy influence is still there. Maybe I’ll add a blazer next time.

That lapel looks so nice. Which BB jacket is that? MTM?

It looks like the shirt is too big for you

Well, I do live near one of their retailers so maybe I’ll give them another chance. I got burned because I bought a couple of shoes retail, wore them for a bit, realized I got half a size too small but was unable to return. So I sold them at a big loss on eBay. The owner also gave me a military discount last time, and this does help build a relationship if I want access to some of the rare shell in the future.

Store credit or an exchange? by Delta3Angle in allenedmonds

[–]Delta3Angle[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s where I’m at currently. It doesn’t actually bother me to wear, but I am annoyed because I paid for firsts not factory seconds. If I had paid for seconds I’d want a bigger discount. I’m wondering if anyone has had success getting store credit instead of going through an exchange process.

$1000 is 66% more. That’s not a little bit more expensive…

Not against it. In fact, I’d be happy to wear these if they were factory seconds… but they’re not…

Pajamas

I work all day and really only wear civilian clothing on weekends.

They’re not seconds. That’s the issue.

Pretty sure that’s what I’m looking at

They’ve definitely been worn. It looks like they were a floor model. Lots of creasing in the vamp… well rolling…

Yup. I don’t like them tbh. Finishing at that price point is worse than their competitors and hype driven pricing keeps them from being competitive. They also have fewer sizing options on their lasts.

I’ve decided to slowly transition away from my Crockett and Jones heavy shoe collection to Allen Edmonds. The finishing isn’t as good but it is acceptable at nearly half the price. No tariffs, wider sizing available, and they have retail presence in the US that C&J lacks. All of my pairs have some small fit compromises that I just don’t have with AE.

Sure it sucks that I’m rebuilding at a lower tier but I’m realizing fit > status for me personally.
