The Great American Shoe
I have been wearing AE shoes for over twenty five years. I got my first pair of AE wing tips with my first good paying job out of college. I still remember how much I paid for them, a lot of money, but after a while I had several pair, and then I became a dedicated fan.
The cool thing about AE is that when the shoes get beat up, but you love them so much you can't stand to toss them away, you send them back to the factory in Wisconsin for re-furbishing. About a $100 later, you have an almost new pair of shoes back to wear for another year or two.
I bought this style last year in black. They work well with pin stripes, dress slacks or jeans. If you have never owned a pair of AE shoes, and these are your first, I suggest you try them on at a store to get your size and best fit. Once you have that down, their shoes are a pretty consistent fit and you are good to go for life!
