While we're on the subject of Allen Edmonds, Shooey, maybe you can help me solve a mystery.
I recently inherited a bunch of shoos from a relative of mine. Pretty standard fare, some AE wingtips, two pairs of Florsheims, one brown and one brown suede (!), and the mystery pair. They're very dark brown, almost black with a lighter brown top, soft as sin, built like a boat shoe with the lace running around the top, but with a kiltie and a tassel. The insoles are marked Allen Edmonds Nantucket, but the AE website shows Nantuckets as being a standard boat shoe.
They look sort of like these...

...but much darker and the leather is smooth, not pebbled. Do you think they were just mis-marked, or is it some style that they don't offer anymore and they reused the name on something else?
Also, what do you think of shoos like this? Any good? I'm not really a loafer guy, but these things feel like heaven on my feet. Softest leather I've ever felt.

@Shooman: Me neither, but these things feel like a kiss from the girl in your avatar.

I can think of worse things, that's for sure.
Who is she?
dunno, but l would like to write her a love letter and tell her how pretty her face is. The incredible haircut brings out her looks.

Sorry to kill the mystery. Kelly's got some ink on her, even if she clearly isn't on a grass and bugs diet.
Inked up girls are always better than non inked girls. Everyone knows that. The more the better.
Shooey.
btw, we better get back to topic or else we might get yelled at by the Bishop and the mods haha.

You owe it to shooey to post pics of yr gf inked up (and down).
At least she's not naked. That's a lovely leotard.
