comparing the strand and fifth or park avenue, which shoe would have a sharper and sleeker profile? or are they essentially the same shape cap-toe oxfords just with different level of designs

They are both on the 5 last, so they have the same shape. 5 last is already AE's sleekest. But imo, it is not very sleek. :s22:

They are both considered the most formal of AEs, but PA is 'more formal'. Personally, I would go for FA.

Anywhere to try the size of Allen Edmonds and some of the other brands on amazon? Prices with the coupon and discount are pretty attractive.

It's all you guys fault. Keep tempting me to buy. I subconsciously made a purchase without knowing what happened. :s11::s11::s11:

Not bad a deal with the free shipping and double discount. I promised it will be the last pair of shoes I will buy. :s13::s13::s13:

AE and C&J shoes are safe for internet shopping ie they fit like standard shoe sizes / width. For leather shoes I usually buy 1/2 size down from my casual or sports shoes to allow for stretch.

bro do give review on the china woodlore shoe tree once u get them :D:s22::s22:

This is regarding the shoe valet:

Amazon have some reviews, poor QA/QC like the lid hard to open or close. May need to sand down the rough edges.

May not be suitable use in outdoor area, unfinished wood, this I may keep for own home use and find a more studier box.

Do u all think a bicycle toe shoe is suitable for a bank interview? I'm starting to get a little self conscious that it might be a little casual and wondering if I should get a new cap toe instead.

How badly you need or want the job?

What type of position you are applying for?

Internship or part-time or temp dun bother buy new shoe.

If is a long term career please do yourself a favor and go and get an oxford in black. Can't go wrong for a bank interview.

Those are too casual for interviews. Even if the workplace is not so strict about dress code, it is better to be more formal during the interview.

And make sure the shoes are clean and shined.

You can keep your existing shoe for rotation and wear during dress down Fridays.

On second thoughts most of the time no one really cares over here. The most popular CBD shoe is a slip on loafer ><

Yes it works fine, I bought a Kenilworth with free shipping from there, and sent it back because of leather defects. (Amazon covered the shipping back)

Appreciate it also, if you would not replace my referral ID with your own. Thanks.

Entire list of discounted Allen Edmonds shoes with AmazonGlobal.

Not all AE in Amazon has global shipping, some can only ship in US. You got to check under Product Details -> Shipping

During your search, on the left menu bar, click on the following
1. AmazonGlobal Eligible
2. Seller : Amazon

This will allow you to filter all the shoes with free shipping.

However, there is a weird bug with Amazon checkout occasionally.
e.g. The Kenilworth I selected first time around, (Size : 10D) didn't have Free Shipping, but the next width up (10EEE) had free shipping.

I went to the Amazon Help Chat and reported the problem, and they provided free shipping for me. However, I guess YMMV :s13:

I always do the 2 steps but strangely some AEs which only allows shipping within US still surface out.
Chat with the Customer service and they confirmed the ones I want cannot be shipped overseas

Oh, I've never encountered that before. Usually is no free shipping but can ship to Singapore.

I guess AE is controlling it.
