AE Shoe Quality Dropping

Hey Monkeys,

Has anyone recently purchased Park Aves from AE? The reviews on the AE's website have hinted toward falling quality and I was wondering if anyone has had a poor experience with AE quality? I need a new pair of shoes and would like to know if I should chose another brand.

Thanks!

Just bought a new pair literally four days ago. Walnut Park Aves and they are just as good as my older black pair.

You have to take into account commentary bias. Usually the ones who are pissed off the most are the ones who write the reviews. If you are worried about quality, your shoes are backed up by AEs first class customer service. I had a pair of loafers sent in for recraft but when I got them back they were too tight. Customer service gave a credit on the retail value of the shoe to spend on any new shoe to replace the old ones. It was like getting a $300 gift certificate.
