    Disheartening, I'm sure. Sending a bundle of commiserations your way.
    Arriving Fedex soonest, I'm sure.

    Allen Edmonds site had various sizes in a couple of different styles as of
    my post, or maybe you only wanted specific style. As I wear a 12, I would have noticed only a 6. Oh. well. maybe another day. I know you'll enjoy wearing their shoes.

    Yes...while AE has several shoes that I would love to own, at $300+ a pair (or even $250 on clearance), I can only buy one pair of them anytime in the near future. The pair that I have my eye on is the walnut brown McAllister wingtip. They have a Cambridge model in clearance (that was the size 6 of which I spoke)...not sure the difference? Is Cambridge the Cordovan leather one?

    I'm in the market for a brown wingtip with a brown heel/sole edge. I've searched so many. Most makers only make their wingtips in Burgundy or black...very few carry brown. Of those that do, most have black edged soles and heels which I think looks horrible with the brown upper, or they have bulky rubber lug-type soles. I'm looking for a dress shoe. I was hoping the Florsheim would be an acceptable substitute of a brown wingtip, but I was wholly disappointed.
