    THE 2024 ALLEN EDMONDS (AE) APPRECIATION THREAD

    Just doing some catching up and read your post here. I didn't believe it so I went to check and sure enough... Wild prices. I guess this is how you justify a $200 resole instead of buying new... That price is something else. 2023 yielded very few new purchases (4 if I recall) and none with were...

    Sounds great, but if we can't even have welt changes on trunk shows it doesn't sound promising. The old program was pretty crazy though and I can understand why that version wouldn't make a comeback.

    Yea the Eagle County or Bayfield could be nice. I know long retired but... we have vaults right? Or the plates all vanished in Italian job fashion. Nobody knows where the gold went.

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Fair enough, but some of us older purchasers got those burgundy dundees back when they were part of the regular lineup. I had a pair, sadly just didn't like how it fit my ankles and I think they just looked like blobs on me.. I always hoped they'd look as good on me as they did on others in...

    On the contrary, I think it gets all the respect. It is a staple color! Those look great, and though I'm not big on the contrast welt like I use to be, goes well with your pairing I think.

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    I have my money in my walls and under the mattress tucked next to the 12 gauge. I find it is the safest place to keep my money. Agree, long term savings in investments and some in bonds, short term savings is for high yield savings accounts. OR pUt AlL yOuR MoNeY iN CrYpTo (yes I know some...

    Awesome! Also, smart to have sat out those other ones. Nothing is worth the feeling of unsound financial choices and stress. Hope you enjoy your pairs!

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Yea I recall Ashley sending me a pretty cool book. I have a few shoe horns and little things like that. She was great and so was that entire store. Would call when she knew something was coming that I'd be interested in, stuff like that. Classy shoes but no class. :facepalm:

    With respect, saying the opinion is BS while asking someone to take your opinion into consideration is kinda BS no? Maybe this was meant as a light hearted joke, in which case ignore the previous sentence. My experience, lets call it an opinion, has been that Alden, Carmina, C&J, J. Fitzpatrick...

    How dare you, its free money. Everyone deserves a check to spend at the trunk show... Jokes aside, I agree the price was high, getting ever so close to Alden shell. While the price isn't a deal breaker alone, I need to love the pair and it just wasn't there for me this time. Perhaps next show. I...

    AE's chili might be closer to ravello. Just a thought. 30 minute video should be landscape period lol. If you want it for live purposes have 2 people take a video. Next thing you know we are going to have 80" TVs in portrait mode. @Shoenut you gotta get better Appreciation lol.

    Thanks for sharing this. UV looks really cool especially on the belt. I will say I was thinking the newman was the way to go with UV and then he said it later on. I'm still thinking maybe the strand. I really don't see the navy (I mean denim) being a lot different. He even catches himself saying...

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    That is my size and price isn't bad but those need a recraft and have been recrafted once (at least) already. That shoe has been well used lol. Don't see much shark out there especially for resale.

    Big fan of the snuff neumoks, the poron insole made them a bit too snug for me and they didn't make the next width from what I recall. I had to sell them due to fit. Not a big fan of those gas prices... that is nuts.

    The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

    Lost them to what? Deliberately throwing them in the trash? Conveniently "lose cutting plates" to styles enthusiasts don't want to lose. It isn't like they just have 1 plate. PA plates seem to have extra security or something because they have lasted forever. Did they lose the templates and the...
