Not horrible in Northern New Jersey. Seven inches of rain so far. Wind not terrible.

Anyone have experience with Florsheim? I know they're not McNairy's or Alden's, but would they be considered solid casual shoe makers?

Barely touched my neighborhood. The power went out briefly, not sure how long since we slept through the entire storm.

Today was a beautiful day though

Not very good brand  according to my shoemaker: bad materials and not that thourough quality.

Florsheim used to make good shoes, especially their Imperial and V-cleats collection.  The older Florsheim were built like a tank.  They are not anymore.  The other solid American made is Alden.  Allen Edmonds are not bad, the company was sold to a venture capitalist a few years ago.  They are branching out with a diffusion line targeting different segments of demographics.  Get the older models if you can, try them on and see how they fit/look.  Some decent deals on eBay if you can find them.

Thanks for the responses.

I had the same initial impression upon picking up a pair at a local mall–the first indication that the quality wasn't necessarily up to snuff. I'll definitely stick with Alden.
