Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2020 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

@BFT9000 I too was surprised by the statement that the sneaker PA sold more than the regular. It now makes sense why AE would produce sneakers. As Paul used to say, "you have to skate to where the puck is going."

What's more interesting is this 2020 thread was started by the strand king, and they aren't offering the strand sneaker in the TS. I just wonder how much money you would have coughed up for new versions you don't own

Don't even get me started. I really dodged a bullet on this one lol.

I don’t have a Facebook account, but the live stream video is available on the AE public page...

Thanks! I'm watching now.

Interesting how the Park Sneaker outsold the Park Avenue as well, right? A lot of people in the chat seemed excited for the new sneakers, which is pretty cool.

It's a bad comparison. Anyone that cares about the sneaker already owns the regular shoe most likely.

After careful consideration, I'm going Burgundy Hamilton, Marbled Cognac Hamilton, and Marbled Cognac Strand. I was most excited by the shell Hamiltons, because I had the original tumbled brown ones, but had to send them back because the piping was wearing away against the laces. I HIGHLY doubt that will happen with the shell version. I am also very tempted to grab a pair of Green Strands, but I just don't think I can make them work for me...

Holy smokes -- sorry you are needing to raise cash, but whoa those are fantastic! My wallet is thankful they are not size 11!!!

Spoiler: Honey Glazed Shell

Wearing the honey glazed Grant Stones today - close approximation to natty shell (if not basically the same but just a different name)

Don't feel too sorry for me. I do not need the cash for anything important, just another selfish and expensive hobby. I have too many shoes and I will never get around to wearing some of them. I figured, apparently incorrectly, that some of the gents on this board who pine over natty shell, Dundees and MacNeils would jump all over these...

wish they were 10eee. GLWS!

FYI--I sold some posters this summer to fund more shoe madness. I totally get it.

I tried to sell my Captain and Tennille posters and the interest was WAY below what I expected. Weird.

I personally have seen few things more uggo than the park sneaker. What a hideous mismatch of a shoe.

I can relate. COVID (and work from home) put a major damper on my shoe wearing, which led to much reduced shoe buying. How to redeploy those funds... what less productive than amassing a gigantic whiskey collection... such is life! ?

Tonight's pour... a fresh crack of a good one (assuming you enjoy uncut barrel proof bourbon that is)!

Hey @BFT9000 how far is 6 Strandmoks?

One of my other obsessions. I traded up for one of these earlier this year. Waiting for a special occasion to crack it open. It is hard as hell to find one of these anymore. The fellas were lined up 3.5hrs early to get a shot at 6 bottles earlier this summer. Crazy!

More Horween Dublin goodness....the McTavish in 13EEE.
The 201 last works so much better than 65 last for my instep, I get no V gap in the 201.
Three different lighting (home, road, office), same camera settings.

Sorry I missed the live chat today guys! Technical difficulties, what can ya do. ??‍♀️

Excited to hear what you guys scoop up tomorrow! I noticed many of your SF brethren who I know are participating didn't list themselves on the excel spreadsheet this year.

Curious to see what a trunk show during pandemic looks like. Thanks for all your feedback so far, as always, and let me know if you have any last minute questions!
