    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2017- News, Pictures, Clothing, accessories, etc.

    I like the leather without the gloss, the matt fades better. BTW, this is my first post in a really long time. @LA Guy I like the new design and functions. I had subscribed to thread years ago and never got email updates when something was posted until now.

    @Dandy Wonka I appreciate that, I didn't want to bring this back up. i made 1 post direct to 1 member that I think did me injustice. i showed proof through pictures of my styles and gave clear logic to my argument. @PCK1 - again, who are you in real life? If you want to disrespect me at...
