This all day.Alle Edmonds are expensive! And they are all very old man/traditional looking shoes.Originally Posted by dieselman89
I disagree. I think you're getting exactly what you paid for as far as quality. A very good pair of shoes but certainly not the quality of $600+ shoes. As for old man/traditional looking......there are a few staples they have been selling for years (Park Avenues) but they also have some very sharp looking shoes. I recently purchased some AE Strands in Walnut and I absolutely love them.
If you like the style, fit, and price, then go for it. I know J&M is very unpopular (for some good reasons) on SF, but I have to say I've been very happy with my Crown Aristocraft Conley wingtips. The leather is top notch and they fit me great. I picked up a new pair that had a minor scratch on the sole for peanuts on Ebay. They are well-constructed and made in the USA. But, for $375 retail, I'd still rather buy AE.Thoughts on the Conrad wingtip? The ones on sale for $110 look allright, but I would really only wear them in the summer, possibly with seersucker or something similar. The full leather ones look pretty cool, but $155 is the very upper limit of what I would pay for non-resolable shoes.
Nicks Boots - Wickett & Craig English Bridle Veg Tan Leather - $759
These boots are made from 6.5 oz Wickett & Craig English Bridle Leather. This tannery has been making leather the old fashioned way since 1867. Each side can take about six weeks to produce, making it a significantly longer production time than most leather on the market.
