AE Italian-style now recraftable?

[Felix Krull]

Upon a recent visit to the AE store in Orlando, I was told by the associate there that he had just learned that AE Italian-style shoes could now be recrafted. Has anyone else heard this? I'm kind of in doubt on this because I would think that if it were, indeed, true then AE would be advertising it on their site. But, on the other had, why would a sales associate who works in an AE store provide me with misinformation. Can anyone validate this?

I read that the Italian styles will now be recrafable - here is the info on their Facebook page

Great news from Recrafting: All of the styles in the Allen Edmonds Italian Collection can now be Recrafted, giving you even more value. The same packages available for our welted shoes are available for the Italians: Prestige, Standard, New Heels + Refinishing, New Heels, and Refinishing. Drop your shoes off at any Allen Edmonds Store or visit www.allenedmonds.com/recrafting to download a pre-paid shipping label.

The Italian collection is on the new recraft form you send in.

Awesome news! I have a pair of Bruzzanos that I had worn out and didn't really know what to do with, but couldn't bear to throw them away. Glad I held on to them for these past couple years. Kept thinking I'd breakdown one day and buy a pair of Veronas to replace them with but now I won't have to.
