Allen Edmonds:How many??

[PADDY]

Hale's

Just bought a pair in Chilli colour (lightish russet brown) in Boston at AE's.

 

[Mike in Seattle]

I have eight or nine pairs. Now, why can't I vote on this pole?

Perhaps, Teacher, because a pole is usually a metal or wooden rod. Sooooo much easier to vote in polls....

But currently, I don't have any AE's, but I'm getting close. I missed out on my dream pair (Hampstead in chili) last night. Probably got sniped...I'm going to have to start playing dirty like that, I guess.

(PICS) AE "Hale" Oxford model.

Bagged these babies in Boston..!

I have one pair of black wingtips, and I love them...my odd size (9.5 eee in these shoes) prevents me from getting too many deals on the 'bay, but I got a brand new pair for approximately 80 dollars iirc.

Not sooo odd...It is my size too. AE is one of the few shoes companies making wide sizes that are normal shoes and not ones for people with foot or back problems. I just snagged a brown pair on 'bay for $50.

$14.90!!!:eusa_doh:

Todays vs Yesterday's Prices of Quality Shoes

Beautiful and sold for USD103. What was USD14.90 worth in today's money? According to Google $14.90 in 1958 had about the same buying power as $110.30 in 2008.

An average pair of shoes in the UK in 1958 was GBP1.75 vs GBP39 in 2008 according to a Google poster.

How old are the above shoes?

The white highlighted stitching is more late 1940s but the condition appears too good for that age. 7 lace holes BTW = Nirvana?

my most recent Allen Edmonds

Hi Everyone,

I recently won these two pair of Allen Edmonds:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=230454516868&view=all&tid=0

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360246607768&view=all&tid=0

These will nicely compliment my black Dellwoods and my merlot McClains

I'm pretty pleased that I've only purchased one pair new (McClains), and have been able to purchase the other 3 pair for less than $150 combined.

I'm a big fan and have about half a dozen pairs. My favorites are Leeds in shell cordovan; I have a black pair and a burgundy pair. I wear one or the other four days a week. They're 10 years old and on have been re-soled three times, but they still look like brand new shoes every time I polish them up! :eusa_clap

 

[KILO NOVEMBER]

Move over Imelda! Here I come!

I just ordered pairs 14 and 15 from Sherman Brothers today.

The population includes:

Hampstead: Chili and Black

McClain: White Nubuck, Brown Nubuck, Spectators (Bourbon and Bone)

The Streets: Broad Street (black and white Spectators), Park Avenue (Merlot), Fifth Avenue (Brown)

Weybridge: Black and Chili

Mora, Westgate, and Dryden (black)

Hale and Greenwich (tan)

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Only two pair, both are factory seconds. Both are McClain. One pair is all black. The other pair is black & white.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

McClain: White Nubuck, Brown Nubuck, Spectators (Bourbon and Bone)

Could you please post pics of the Bourbon & bone, please? I have been wanting a pair in that colour scheme for a while.

 

[KILO NOVEMBER]

McClain is off the menu

The McClain (correction "McLain")doesn't appear among the styles currently offered by Allen Edmonds, so you may have to wait until they come around again. I see that a photo was posted in July of 2008 (posting #55, on page 3 of this thread), so you might check that.

 

[Brian Sheridan]

Had to post - today I won a pair of AE's "Sanfords" in black for $15.99 on Ebay!!!!

http://www.e-shoes.com/sanford.html

The odd thing is that the Sanford looks just like the Strand model. Can't tell the difference.

I also just mailed another AE pair I won on Ebay for the complete recraft package.

May is going to be a big AE month!

I had a pair of AE Westgates in black that I scored at Nordstrom Rack for $50. I was really surprised at how nice they looked in person, especially once I had them shined up properly.

I got married in them 2 1/2 years ago, and they vanished in the chaos sometime between the vows and flying out for my honeymoon the next day. C'est la vie...

So, I guess I'm down to 0 again. :eusa_doh:
