New kicks from robinsonsshoes!

Saw on an article online that selected models of Allen Edmonds are on discount - can't remember till when though.

Anyone can share what their lasts and sizing are like? Specifically, looking for a broader last.

I have the Strands in the 5 last. I got them true to size and it was a pretty generous fit. No breaking in required, toe area was spacious (my meermin and llyr had abit of pinky toe pinching the first few wears). I would say that if your feet is super wide or narrow you should be good to go getting your true size.

Thanks for this - I appreciate it. How would super wide or narrow be in the same pot though?

Got it, thanks! Do you happen to also know which are their broader lasts, given that I have broad feet? That said also noticed that they have options for widths, so maybe that'll work.

Ah always a challenge trying to buy shoes online.

I got the e width which is the normal width. Like the other Bro mentioned u can go up to 2e or 3e to fit your feet. I did a lot of Comparison with the shoes I alr own on styleforum (most of them owns a pair of ae so it was pretty easy)

May I know how you're planning to get them shipped over to here? Cause I recall usa shipping isn't cheap at all.

TBH I haven't actually thought about that. Thought of doing it through a forwarder. Maybe I should try and get a ballpark!

Thanks! 11 is a bit too big for me - I'm a 9UK. Eee sounds very wide though! I thought I had wide feet, having had to wear 2E sneakers all my life.

But this is much appreciated!

Today went searching for shoes

Y all the better quality brands the leather all so tough n hard one

Any shoes with lots of cushion at the back, no need break in jitao can wear comfortably? Any?

Llyr shoe sucks. I just started wearing it and the heel part giving me blisters.

Blisters as in not those normal blisters. It is the skin tear and blood come out kind

 

[xtreamzz]

Nornally a safer approach is to wear the shoes at home few hours at a time for a few times before you wear them out proper to work/etc.

Not sure if the size or last is not suitable for you.

I have tried shoes in store which fit me fine but fits poorly a few days later.
I guess our feet expands and contracts depending on day/time as well.

I forgot but did you have a budget?

Unfo proper quality shoes with out of the box fine supple leather tends to start from 500 above

If not just get ur typical corrected grain crap uppers from Aldo/Pedro etc. Yea its shitty but it will be soft. Dont expect them to last long

Perfect for our mass consumerist market of today where everyone demands quick short term results
