I am. I’m a legacy and a former “townie”.  The guy who used to be A-E’s 
president was a neighbor of mine.  We all lived “on the bluff”, which is a 
phrase used by the locals to this day that meant we were “rich and powerful” 
because of the “exclusive” area our homes were located in.  At least that what 
a lot of the locals thought.

Remember, this is southeast Wisconsin, home to millions of Dutch and German 
descendants.  The Dutch were the worst, the most tightfisted people I have ever 
known.  By driving a Mercedes, even if it was a 1979 300TD I paid a whopping 
$3,000 for, I was looked upon by a guy who drove a $45,000 4WD 9 passenger 
Suburban as a junior Warren Buffett.

Blinded by the tristar….

And yes, it looks like it’s linked to the Shoebank and the stuff they have 
there.

The one thing I don’t like about A-E is the inconsistency between lasts, 
meaning that one model of shoe might be a 12 EEE for me and another a 13 E, ye 
they both fit.  It makes it especially frustrating when buying online of you 
don’t already have a shoe made on the same last, as it’s a crapshoot whether or 
not it will fit properly.

While I’m all for a good deal, I hate the waiting t find out whether or not the 
shoe will fit.  That’s why I like going to the store over in Whorelando.  I get 
fitted properly and usually get some swag (shoe tree, polish, etc.) out of the 
visit as well.

HI! I'm Joe Beats.

Say, what chance does a deceased returning war veteran have for that good

Now take off your shoes.

Now you can see how increased spending opportunities, mean harder work for

It appears to be identical to the tent sale pricing at shoebank.com, except you

BTW, finally got my Walnut and Brown Jeffersons yesterday. 
My E width McTavish are a bit loose. 
The E width Jeffersons are a bit snug. If they stretch any noticeable amount,
they'll fit like the proverbial glove. 
The D width Jeffersons are unwearable, so I'm trading them in on a pair of EEE
because they don't have brown 2nds in 10E.
The funny thing is my foot measures to 11C, actually about 10.7C. But an 11D
Mctavish is slightly narrow and very long on my foot. 

I had been planning on getting Daltons for my next purchase, but I could not
pass up 60% off on the Jeffersons (70% off after a $50 American Express offer)
The Walnut Jeffersons are a stunningly beautiful shoe. The same in chocolate
brown is beautifully made, but the color makes them seem drab in comparison. 

Oxblood and burgundy are nice, but walnut and bourbon are my favorites.

I'd rather have a dark green car with leather the color of walnut shoes than the
usual mushroom/cream/parchment.
