    Nice move partner! That's exactly something I would have done...hence the angry wife!
    Don't worry...They always hire bums like me for jobs like this.

    Typically bad website photos. Common problem at AE. Web design. Soon as you saw them in the flesh you wanted a pair. They never appear on eBay even second hand. Does that tell you something.

    I wear an 11 E. I have yet to find a Bourbon & Bone pair of McClain on the bay. Still, I keep looking...

    I received a flyer in the post this afternoon that shows that Allen Edmonds has brought back the Broadstreet for their 90th anniversary!

    The Broadstreet is more interesting in that the did a better match using bone rather than white with the tan.

    There is also another unusual spectator design introduced called Hamptons. A shaped toecap.

    Both the Broadstreet and the Hamptons are nice looking shoes at reasonable prices.
