Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

I can't believe...

I'm an 8.5D, but the creasing on those is a bit much for me.

No, plain ole' brown. Snagged these from the shoe bank for 299. Great deal, though every so often the crooked cap stitching catches my eye.

Oh, and they looked horrendous out of the box at first...

Here's another pic

Those look great! What did you do to get them looking nice? Brushing and reno? Making me even more excited to get my brown shell jeffersons that are currently being remade!

It is that. I try to get down there for a weekend every couple of months. Parts of New Orleans make you feel like you've left the country entirely.

Hahaha

Dalton is a great choice. Id also recommend:

Kenilworth walnut or brown
McNeil
McTavish in tan or black
Strand in brogue suede
Cordovan Leeds if you can spare the cash...

Thanks everyone for the tips.

I will check them all out for sure.

Since boots are all on sale it is a good time to focus on them. (unless you are looking at the 30% amazon disc.)

Got the good phone call from Allison yesterday! Got back to the office this afternoon and shoe giggidy!!

The color (Brown Shell Cordovan) is a little flat out of the box but I'm hoping with some TLC these will be a great addition to my collection.

They are the "Players" Model. Independence lining and insole and outsole. Brown flat welt with wheeled edges. Transparent Brown edge dressing.

I'll try to get some better pics (fluorescent at work kinda crappy)











I'm glad I pulled a last minute change and went up a width based on how narrow I heard these can be.

Bittersweet.

Received my MTO Brown Calf Dundees (Box says Cordovan) today. Never owned any pair on the 1 last so I went with the usual 7.5 E as I do in the 5 last.

And they're TOO BIG FOR ME!

I also have small ankles so the boot looks awkward & unusual on me. It is a sad sad day.

Will be putting them up for sale in the Classifieds section. Wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you missed out during the RDA sale. Will honor RDA sale price + tax. Shipping is on me. $315 shipped UPS Next Day.

Here are the details:

Brown Burnished Leather
Brown Leather Insole
Brown Split Reverse Welt
Standard leather outsole
Light brown transparent sole and edge dressing

This single photo made me reconsider selling my Indy for Jcrew. I got them at 25% off with an additional 15% at the store for a total of $312, which is a steal. I thought I didn't need them since I have 721 and 744 shell Wolverines, but I guess you can't have too many boots.

Haha, if its a trubalance size 8, then I would gladly give those Indys a new home.

True enough

Anybody want to jump into this thread and comment on the sale of AE? There is a lot of speculation going on:

Allen Edmonds sold...should we be worried about a decline in quality?

 

[DHD28]

I need some help with Dalton sizing because I don't want to make the same mistake with my MTO Dundees.

7.5 E in 5 Last would be what in a Dalton?

I'm an 8.5D, but the creasing on those is a bit much for me.

Based on that third picture, I don't think the previous owner has seen a shoe tree in his life. I think his care regimen involved laying lead weights on top of the shoes each night.

Thanks! I'm also jonesing for my MTO burgundy shell Kenilworths.

No Reno. Need to get some as there's some stubborn paste on the right shoe.

Just wearing, wiping, brushing, and buffing.

Which boot sale is this?

Which boot sale is this?

Most boots ate $50-100 off right on the main AE website.
