ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD 2021: News, pictures, clothing, accessories, etc.

That Silverlake boot looks much better without the white sole.

I agree, that's why I had them swapped out, but sadly they are a size too big.

Just in length or do they feel like boats?
If they feel overly voluminous and you enjoy them, I *highly* recommend some red wing insoles if they fit right with them.

Wax them and enjoy the patina

Well, that certainly moves them from meh to badass!



They certainly look more like a brown or chocolate suede now. I think that turned them all the way up to 11!

For comparison:

Snuff Strand, waxed Surrey, waxed brown McTavish, waxed brown Kiowa, bitter chocolate Players.

Now I wonder what sage Neumoks would look like waxed...hmm...

You are a brave man but I guess a dark brown waxed suede boot looks a heck of a lot better than a tan suede boot with permanent blue dye transferred from jeans.

For some reason I really like this color combination. That usually means that the colors clash.

Blue and olive green?
Yuck!

I decided to wear my green MacNeils this morning. Should I have waited for wingtip Wednesday?

I just stole this photo of GMTO boots getting ready for shipping from another thread on SF, so please forgive me. For some odd reason, this makes me laugh. It reminds me of the reoccurring debate w/ my lady...
"All of your boots look the same."

It's like seeing my closet through her eyes.

Spoiler: Rainbow of leather

Here are some of my real AE culprits...

Well boys, looks like I have a preorder coming that I did not expect, nor ask for! This one's a bit out of the ordinary from your standard makeups we usually see 'round these parts...

According to the experts, it'll be appearing sometime in late September unless things don't go as planned with the factory!

This is the very first for Mrs. Savvy & I; I always joked it would go like this (unexpected, out of the blue), and it seems I was right!

Still in shock, and I'm honestly super nervous, but excited for the future. We haven't told our families yet as we're planning to tell them in person in the coming weeks, so I had to spill my beans to somebody.

Cheers, and I'll drink Mrs. Savvy's along with mine!

Those are amazing! Any day of the week works for those! Which makeup with the grain is that? You dyed them, I know.

They started out as a chili-colored pebble grain.

Nope, not a single duplication in the bunch. Every boot is different. FWIW, my wife says same about my meager collection of footwear.

No need to be "Super" Nervous, perhaps nervous yes, but Super, no. Kids do change things, in a huge way, but all for the good. Get your footwear now

Yuck!

"blue and green should never be seen without a colour in between"
