Has AE jumped the shark?
I haven't been impressed with AE's quality, which is supposed to be amazing. I bought a pair of cap-toes, wore them 2-3 times a week in pretty mild weather, and the soles were worn out with massive holes within 6 months. The heels (which appeared to be glued on) were pulling off within weeks. I sent them back to AE for recrafting, and the same thing happened the second time around. I took them to a local cobbler who used his preferred leather and nailed the heels on, and they're still in great shape almost 2 years later.
My pair of Alden's, on the other hand, are still looking great after several years. They were a little more expensive upfront, but I haven't had to spend a dime on recrafting. I'm through with AE after this pair finally bites the dust.
Let me get this straight: you have a cobbler?

This is becoming more and more common again. We have been such a throw-away type society when all we need is a stitch or rework on a shoe and various other clothes. Its much cheaper than buying new if you dont absolutely have to.

You aren't a man unless you have a cobbler.
Also, disappointed. The shoes on this site only go up to size 14, so I guess I won't be getting anything there. The shoes look pretty good.

and a tailor.
Ctown you never go to weddings or funerals? What about an anniversary dinner, etc?
I work at a chemical plant. Which means my employer provides my clothing (NOMEX) and footwear (steel toe boots). I have no use for either a tailor or a cobbler.
Unless it's peach cobbler.

FYI, here's a set of before-and-after photographs of my Allen Edmonds when I got them re-crafted (they do this as part of the service). It only took 6 months for them to get in this condition.
Well at least you kept a shoe tree in there
makes me sad when i see nice shoes go without any care
