I bought this pair of shoes online. It was easy to do. No charge for delivery and they arrived quickly. The shoes look great and fit perfectly. I am sometimes hard to fit and I’m hesitant to shop online but I was very pleased with this purchase.
I found this shoe in a chili brown color matched my wardrobe quite well. I could dress it up or down. The shoes fit well. This was important to me because I have wide feet. The color turned out to be a little darker than the image shown on the internet. That was a plus (+) for me because I was looking for a medium tone brown shade. The hand stitching was everything I expected.

disappointed quality
PostedJuly 22, 2018
AE seems to have a big issue with quality control lately. I purchased the first pair of AE Strand via Nordstrom at anniversary sale, but end up with returning due to lack of quality control on $450 shoes. The leather at toe cap looks very cheap and leather quality is very different from Nordstrom store display. I found leather cracks at the toe cap and edges, tongue has crease and stain. The welt had high visible cut right above the heel. I was very dissappointed with the quality of the AE shoe I received from Nordstrom.
One of the best shoes you will ever wear but dont buy it from Nordstrom. Go direct to AE for quality. I went through 5 pair in the buy/return process as many apprared to be factory 2nds. Spend a little more and go direct. Its worth it.
