Got my first pair of Allen Edmonds, wore them this week. They're just tight enough to the point of being mildly uncomfortable. Thought they'd break in and get better but seems not. Am I SOL?

Continue to wear them. They will stretch as do all things leather and fit like a glove. If not, then you were sized incorrectly.

Aka any chance of an exchange after wearing them twice, such that the soles are already worn?

Jog in them

Can't exchange them, I'd put some trees in and try to stretch them

Shoe trees won't stretch them. I bought a pair that wear really uncomfortable, brought them to a cobbler who stretched then (width) and they're better now. Eventually I Bought another pair a half size bigger and they're much more comfortable

That's because AE sucks. Go invest your money elsewhere. Please dont say cole haan or clarks

Then what? Ferragamo?

Gamo's^^^^

I just returned 4 pair to AE all after 3 months of wear because they never broke in quite right and they determined my measurement wasn't accurate. Didn't charge a wear fee to replace them.

That said, give it a few more wears and use the shoe trees before making any changes.

Honestly, I prefer Cole Haan

Yes id rather invest in ferragamo and be assured a glove-like fit, than spend money on AEs that are harder and tougher than gravel. #italianmade

Lol do you walk onto the client site wearing games? Smh. 🙄
