I find Allens are uncomfortable to wear compared to wolverine or iron ranger... the leather they use are hard and sharp... the other ones are more soft and flexible... the allens hurts the side of my pinky and ankle due to the hard leather friction.

Ahhh, gotchya.
Fwiw: AE uses a loan shark for global shipping lol. AE items are CUSMA eligible, they are duty free. The only applicable tax is Sales Tax (13% = $37) lol not their absurd $98, based on your check out.
Much cheaper to use an Amerifriend, CBP redirect, or if you can get them to use FedEx Int'l Priority, there is only a $10 flat rate brokerage fee, NOT the absurd higher tiered fee structure. If they go cheap and do a lower FedEx service, your brokerage will add up., but still cheaper than their automated website processing.
I've ordered a bunch of shoes from them in the past, FedEx called me, I paid the HST + the $10 & got the stuff the day later. Superb!
AE used to be a really good shoe company - I have a 15+ year old pair of shoes that I've had rebuilt twice (they're due again) and they're worth rebuilding. The ones I've bought since then are not. I would only buy a pair that I could handle in person, work the leather, and try them on. Free returns might make it worth the trouble buying online.
