    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2016 - News, Pictures, Sizing, Accessories, Clothing, etc

    Went in to the AE store and walked out (metaphorically) with a pair of Dark Chili Fifth Avenue's. Two week backorder due to demand right now. I did get the belt, trees and polish though, so now the dreaded countdown begins. Place was crowded which was great to see.

    Simply, I don't think I'd go with the PA's until I want/need to wear suits and/or black pants. Neither are in my near future and so I can't justify buying black PA's. I do really like the look that the PA/5ths give with though in other colors without being so formal.

    Couple comments (I've been drinking and staring at shoes so lay off :)) 1. I may be in the minority, but I like to by AE color polish to keep my AE's the way I bought them. I like the shine and polish them every week, but I wouldn't dream of putting a different color on them. 2. I'm super...

    It's going to be a game time decision haha...But it is really hard to pass up the Fifths at that price.

    I was all set to buy the Oxblood Carlyle this weekend (already emailed the store to let them know what I wanted), but seeing the Chili Fifth Avenue's have me rethinking. Really looking for a color I can wear with Blue/Grey pants, and both will work...It's tough wanting shoes haha.

    Easy...both :) If this is your first AE shoe, I'd go Walnut to start with. It's just so versatile a shoe to have. Then either go Oxblood Strand or other. Just an FYI, I would think the Strands will be on sale in April.

    Agree. Adds a ton of diversity to his line up. I'd either go Strands again or Carlyle if you want something different than what you have.

    The next step in this addiction is when you begin to notice other people trying to act like they haven't noticed your shoes. That's when you know you look good.

    I agree. Trying to change the belt color with cream seems like a good way to end up buying a new belt once you ruined the other one. I like being close on the belt to shoe color, but matching the style of the shoe with the belt. My belt for my strands is a bit flashier than what my belt for...

    Do the Carlyle's normally go on sale when they do their semi-annual? Really have my eye on the Oxblood's and just waiting to see if I can get them without paying full price.

    I bought my Strands from Daniel as well. He definitely knows his shoes. I've meaning to email him to see when the next sale is so I can get a new pair.

    When does AE usually do their next big sale? I'm looking to get some oxblood shoes next, but hate paying full price.

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Not the best sale, but not bad with the additional 15%. Bought 4 shirts and with all discounts it came out to 46.92/shirt. Add in $100 gift card and free 2 day shipping (have amex card), and it was a pretty good deal at $103 out of my pocket.

    Allen Edmonds quality question.

    Where did you buy the shoes from? Have you brought them back to have them looked at? That would be a good starting point. I bought mine at an AE store, and it was obvious they are proud of their brand and wouldn't want a defective pair out there (not saying one way or the other on your...

    I had an interesting conversation with my local AE rep. We were talking color combinations and I mentioned that I didn't have a quality pair of black shoes, but just a nice pair because I don't wear black that often. He said that of the 20 or so pairs of AE's he has, he has never bought a...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    For someone going to their first Brooks Brothers sale, what should I be looking to start with? I'm working on upgrading my wardrobe now, but in general have BR chinos for pants and varying degrees of shirts from Armani down to BR button downs. Any idea of staples to look at when there...

    My first post on this site is to say I joined the Allen Edmonds shoe family. Bought a pair of Walnut Strands today along with the belt that goes with it. Great looking combo.
