These are beautiful shoes! Awesome quality suede, soles, and overall solid construction. I typically buy 8.5D in other brands, but AE size for me seems to be 8D or 8E.I have been wearing Allen Edmonds about 6 years now and own 6 pairs. What I have learned along the way is that you have to find the right size for you. This may not be the size they measure at the store. I wear a size 12 sneaker, but found that most Allen Edmonds shoes fit me well in an 11 eee. I have a wide foot.Allen Edmonds makes a great shoe. Personally, I wish the leather soles would last a bit longer. I am now trying out their rubber soles since my main use is car to office and back.I would recommend this shoe.I am generally a size 10 wide. Amazon recommended a size 11. They were wrong. I’m a size 10 wide in this shoe. I returned for a refund.I have since purchased the correct size. These are my favorite pair of shoes. They are well made. They are handmade. And they will last a lifetime as long as you recraft them and service the leather.They are comfortable, stylish, and bit sexy.Colorado is very dull. Inordinate delay in delivery.Very narrow shoe. After a few minutes it was cutting off the blood flow to my toes. It's too bad since they are very high quality and look great.Way too large.Most beautiful shoes ever.This is my second pair of AE Strandmok. They’re pricey, but I wear them daily and every couple to three years send them back to AE for cobbling service that costs less than a new pair of cheap/bargain dress shoes. So over time they’re less expensive than buying new cheap ones yearly. The AE cobbling service makes them look and wear brand new again. Considering the style and versatility of these shoes, you really can’t beat them. Fit true to size.I have six pairs of AE shoes. My experience is a 9 D in one style is not a 9D in another style. it has a lot to do with the various "lasts" the shoes are built on. This style the "Strand" required me to go up to a EE width as the shoe is just to narrow to be called a D width.Great looking shoe, a little tight but they have stretched enough to be comfortable. If you have a wide foot they would be too tight, my feet are somewhere in between narrow and wide.
