Allen Edmonds Cambridge in burgundy shell. Among the most comfortable shoes I've owned.

+1. I love my cambridges (a wing-tip oxford with a double sole).

Also the bancroft, a medallioned oxford.

They will make any of their shoes in shell cordovan as a special order. I have a pair of cordovan chukka boots on special order from them at the moment.

yeah, that's been around for a while. I think it's a $100 markup from whatever the price would have been if it was a regular shell cordovan model.

most of AE's shell cordovan shoes are in the $450 to 485 or something like that, so I think a special order would be $550 to $585 or so.

I've got the Stanford chukka in black shell cordovan w/ a rubber sole. I picked them up off of AE's ebay store - no idea if they were a special make-up that fell through or if they ever actually stocked that model, but I'd love a pair in brown as well.
