After nearly a year of my AE Higgins Mill sitting in the closet gathering dust, I brought them into the local AE store just before Christmas to ask what might be done about both tongues slipping inboard within 2 minutes of putting them on.... Maybe I wasn't tying them correctly? Different laces?... Dunno.
The store guy said he didn't know what could be going on, but he shipped the boots back to AE for inspection.
In mid January I received them back with new laces and they had sewn the side of the tongue to the side of the boot. They did it in a place where the stitches overlapped with existing stitches on the upper, so, no way to tell from looking at them that this had been done.
Problem solved! I wish I had taken them in sooner, but, I'm glad I did. Two thumbs up for AE CS.

I'm wanting a pair of BASS Weejuns because:reasons. There are a couple of versions I'm interested in, and I seem to be getting nowhere. I went to the local "outlet" store to find that they appeared to be in the midst of either a move or shutting down, and selection was shit. Then I ordered a couple of models/sizes online based on my limited sizing experience at the outlet store only to have them cancel part of the order and then continuously email me to tell me that the balance of the order is on backorder.
I see some things listed on Amazon but the sizing options have me suspect as to what I'd be getting if I ordered from there.
Any ideas where I can find some in-stock that would also allow for returns if I order two sizes of two models and then return 3 of them?

Lands end and LL bean will likely have something as well.

I suspect as they moved their manufacturing offshore, supply chain issues are rearing their heads.
Zappos is easy peasy re shipping/returns. I acknowledge that Bass is not a listed brand but there are several functional equivalents.

Way too many new boots to update with all at once. Just got a pair of Viberg Boondockers in hunter green rough out though and really digging them. They might be my favorites here soon enough.
I also grabbed a pair of the bourbon shell service boots and the color #2 service boots.
