Totally agree with you about J&M. However, the Aristocrafts are still well made and harken back to their better days.

For $139, that is a good price and a good cobbler can recraft the shoe when it wears down.

Yeah, I haven't worn much in the way of dress shoes this years but I"ve bought boots. AE has some good sales right now on boots, especially the Pattons and Hamiltons. I've got several pair of Higgins Mills and love wearing them this time of year.

One day we will return to normal. Going to need decent shoes then. ;-)

Waldorf: AE quietly moved Domincian production back to the US this year. I think one reason for the sales is they are pulling out of the nonAE retail. Dillards, Brooks Brothers, and Nostrum quit carrying them. No more middleman so that is an expense cut out.

Yep - it is their best shoe and it isn't close.

Oh yes. I have two pairs of Hamiltons and wear them all the time. Best shoe/boot they have introduced in a while.

I heard about that with the welted lines all coming back. I still don't trust Caleres. That is what scares me about all of these back-to-back-to-back sales. Caleres needing cash flow and not really understanding what made Allen Edmonds the company there are/were.

a good cobbler


Other than peach or blueberry, do cobblers even exist anymore?
