Love this shoe!
PostedSeptember 5, 2012
The McTavish is my first pair of AE shoes and I simply love them. I got mine in Dark Brown Cognac Leather and they look fantastic. Solid construction, very comfortable and I get tons of compliments on them. I went with the McTavish over the McCallister because I really like the waxed leather on the McTavish. The leather will only look better as it ages over time.
I also love the fact that they are made in the USA. AE has a new customer for life.

Great materials and styling. Fit and quality controls, not so much.

I recently ordered a pair of the black McTavish wingtips. I als0 currently own a pair of the merlot Mcallisters in a 10D (love!). As with anyone getting another second pair of AE's, I was very excited. I ordered 1/2 a size down as the Mcallisters are ever so slightly large on me. From researching the different Lasts (5-65) on the AE website I thought this was a good move (they are supposed to fit the same). Well, when they arrived they were huge! Not only longer in length than the Mcallisters (the double oak sole adds a little) but my feet were practically slipping out of them. I was shocked. The shoes in which I ordered smaller were much actually larger?! I was obviously confused as they are supposed to use the same sizing. Needless to say I exchanged them for a new pair, this time a 9D (remember, my Mcallisters are a 10D and are almost a perfect fit). When they came in the shoe box itself was smashed and torn (I didn't care though) but they were packed in a much larger delivery box. I'm assuming someone returned my pair and didn't care too much about the box in the process. They fit much better, however the shoe, though a full size smaller is still longer than the size 10 Mcallisters. These shoes are also more narrow, though I'm not sure its material enough to merit an E width.
The part that annoys me the most (sizing differences is at times understandable) is that they weren't inspected very well. As seen in the pictures, there is a bruise on the oak. I don't really care about this as it would inevitably happen anyway. What gets me is that the left side of the tongue on the right shoes is sewn to the shoe itself! The tongue cannot be adjusted at all and is skewed toward the inside of the foot/shoe. Unfortunately I did not notice this until after they were worn. I'm not sure if I would've returned them over this issue, but I surely would not have purchased this individual pair with the defect.
All in all, they are stylish and made from AE quality materials but fall very short in terms of being of true AE quality. Being 1 for 2 on AE shoes has made me rethink purchasing in the future.

Great shoe
PostedAugust 16, 2012
Initially I looked a this shoe on the AE website, but didn't think it was one that I would buy. I saw it in a store in St. Louis and immediately changed my mind. I purchased them in black. It's proven to be a great shoe in the limited times I've already worn it. I think it pairs nicely with a blue suit, or business casual. I generally prefer a more polished shine on a shoe, but these shoes simply work.
I'm still in that breaking in period, so there's some discomfort approaching late afternoon after I've had the shoes on all day, but I'm sure it will pass with time.
