Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2020 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.
Hello all. I'm located in Seoul Korea currently (and indefinitely) until the pandemic subsides. Does anyone know a physical retail location in Seoul that sells Allen Edmonds? I know I can order online and ship from US, but with sizing difficulty with different lasts, and the occasional...- Chicagobred

The Patriot was a perfect fit for me in 9D in shell cordovan. Hugged my foot like a glove, but unfortunately it is nearing its retirement. I picked up a shell cordovan Randolph in 9D, but after the first two wears, the footbed settled and it became clear that the Randolph in 9D is just too...- Chicagobred

Does anybody have any first hand impressions of the Patton boot in Snuff Brown Suede? I'm interested in picking one up as an alternative to a chukka, since they are currently on sale. Is the color actually snuff or is it a dark brown suede? From the picture, it actually looks like a chocolate...- Chicagobred

Is Allen Edmonds also discontinuing the Grayson in cordovan? It has not been available in a few sizes for a while now. Will it be back in the future?- Chicagobred

I have the dark brown suede massdrop boot and a bitter chocolate suede custom made patriot before the custom program was retired. If a bitter chocolate or dark brown suede Park Ave was offered at the trunk show, it would be a no-brainer for me to round out my brown suede collection, although I...- Chicagobred

Looks good. Is the edge on your shoes transparent brown or buff? I ordered a brown cordovan Leeds with a transparent brown edge. I like what I see in your photos.- Chicagobred

I wish I could. These samples are from a few years ago when I was considering a gator patriot makeup. I think the makeup would have been $2400. I was looking for a dark brown, and they only had tan brown, so I passed at the time. Not possible to get a gator makeup (or a patriot in any...- Chicagobred

Sorry if this question has been answered elsewhere (I'm sure it has), but I can't seem to find any solid information on it. I'm interested in a Leeds makeup during the trunk show, but I've been unable to visit an Allen Edmonds store to find out my proper sizing, and I won't have time before...- Chicagobred

On the AE website, there are only three models that are offered in brown shell cordovan--the Park Ave, Higgins Mill, and Patriot, and the Patriot will not be restocked. Do you think this lineup will be expanded? I could see myself purchasing a brown cordovan Leeds similar to the Aldens in the...- Chicagobred

Does anybody have either the Surrey Derby Shoe in Nubuck (1757 last) or or the Nomad Penny Loafer in oiled snuffed suede (42N last)? I'm a 9D in the 65 last and the 606 last, and I'm wondering if I would fit in these shoes true-to-size. Also any impressions of the leathers, whether they age...- Chicagobred

I too would like a suede trunk show. First buy would be a bitter chocolate or dark brown suede park ave. I'm actually quite surprised suede is not a standard park ave offering.- Chicagobred
