That Quinton is a nice looking shoe! Actually, I like both.
I'm surprised that fit has been a problem. I have always had foot trouble, and wear very pricey custom orthotics. That is, I did until a few years ago, when I got my first pair of AEs on Ebay. Since then I have acquired about a dozen, 7 or 8 used for about $35, with 4 or 5 new pair thrown in. I now have an excellent range of shoes, and buy in complete confidence--if it is an AE in size 9, then I know I'll be fine. And I only wear the orthotics on occasion now. I must admit that loafers, including AE, are a bit more demanding when it comes to fit because if it is too tight it hurts, and if even a smidge too loose, then it slips in the heel. Is that the sort of problem you had with the Burkes?
