Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2017- News, Pictures, Clothing, accessories, etc.
Hah! yes, it's been a while! I took a 6 month leave to start a new business, so I disappeared from the forums to save my wallet, and eventually switched styles altogether. (also my business is going very well!)- rostov

Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2017- News, Pictures, Clothing, accessories, etc.
FYI... I'm offloading ALMOST ALL of my Allen Edmond shoes. Nothing wrong with the shoes, they're just not my style anymore. Because the sale thread doesn't let me list multiple items, I'm just giving a heads-up here. Send me PMs Here's what I have, all in 10.5 3E unless stated otherwise: -...- rostov

I'm on a very tight budget right now (thus my disappearance), but that Sauk/Russet Dalton is tempting. I just wish it were some other color. Between Burgundy shell and Oxblood, one might think my feet were bleeding. The last is appealing though. I've decided I'm not too big on the 511; I love...- rostov

Thank you Nick! Great to see you in this thread. Would you say the same if the shoes were double-blake stitched as well? My impression is that such shoes might be more dangerous to resole, but perhaps I'm incorrect? (Some AE shoes such as the Kenwood are double-blake stitched)- rostov

I'm a 10.5 3E on AE. I've been fitted at 10.5 UK on the Carmina Rain. Anyway, it's off topic for this thread ;-) I too have a MacNeil (burgundy cordovan). I'll thinking a PTB or Double Monk in something neither black nor burgundy/#8. Meanwhile, I'll contemplate keeping those Leeds :-/- rostov

Gotcha. I'm planning to try 10.5 EE given its general availability (for Carmina), assuming I bite the bullet on them eventually. Quote: Nice. Mine are more oddly shaped, being too narrow and stretched wide in the vamp. More of a Jabba the Hut.- rostov

Nice. Which model is this? Size? Dan Akyroid? Looking at the burnishing, I'd guess calf?- rostov

I must say, despite this being a joke, buyer's remorse is already kicking in! Seriously contemplating a return of my incoming Burgundy shell Leeds and just buying Carmina so I can escape the trap of more burgundy/#8. Oxblood Eagle Rivers, Merlot Patriots, Burgundy shell Kenwoods and MacNeils...- rostov

I wouldn't be surprised if it were permanent. AE hasn't really been keeping up the shell line with the calf. Shoes that were long retired in calf would stay available as shell relatively long (see the Norwich), colors have been limited, they've had trouble with the truck show SMUs, and it seems...- rostov

Got the RDA email this morning! Snatching Burgundy Shell Leed (seconds). As usual, I can expect pain and suffering from my wife, but it was the one thing I really needed (having no PTB in my rotation). I also see that the shell Kenwood seconds are now $299 which is a steal! If I didn't...- rostov

Quoddy is our only other real option. Rancourt if you can squeeze a 2E. Rockport Perths are nice in 3E but not CXL and far less of a shoe for ~$125.- rostov

I agree about the price, but in regard to the Duke, I found them very well constructed. They're not that different from my shell Kenwoods. The fact they cannot be resoled is an issue, but that's part for the course at that price. Also, I suspect a cobbler could resole them anyway. They're...- rostov

My SA at AE does this when I try on shoes, although it does make me cringe slightly. He's a young guy, too.- rostov

Meanwhile, I just finished packing for a 4~5 day business trip and it seems I'm bringing 3 pairs of shoes, all shell. San Francisco rains, but at least it's not Portland. Guess I'm taking my chances.- rostov

I love mine and I haven't seen anyone complain about theirs. I'm a standout as others seem to find them roomy, but personally find them a tad low in the forefoot. Not enough to bother me with suede, but if you have a tall forefoot (as I do), you might want to consider sizing up with the calf...- rostov

What really bothers me about the Maritime and the Kirkwood both is the blue and orange tab on the back. It's not so bad with the blue CXL, but it's distracting on the other colors.- rostov

Everything will be a minimum of 15% off during the RDA sale. It's the best time to buy firsts of most shoes, with the notable exceptions of casual loafers and the McAllister with see better sales during the Father's Day Sale and the Anniversary Sale. If you're looking at the Kirkwood or...- rostov
