Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

I get a grip on the heel portion, pull forward to compress it and lift up then pull the toe portion out.

And the use of the "handle" on top. How does one grip it

I have my thumb on the top where the Allen Edmonds badge is and a couple fingers on the underside.

Can someone chime in on what's the correct/best method to remove an AE shoe tree from shoe?

Straight props to you, tifosi. This is SF and I fully expected someone to blast roda for these questions, even in this thread.

any idea when they will have the 2 for 250 sale?

They just had one about two months ago so I imagine it will be awhile. My understanding is that they occur every six months or so. The last one for me was great - navy suede Strands + tan Banchory's. Had to hold back on also purchasing a pair of brown Haight boots and another pair I can't think of right now...

I'm new to shoe care and was just wondering what the most efficient way was. Don't want a splinter or anything.

Thanks for your kind responses.

No hate. I just kind of pull the sucker out is all. Never thought to ask about it.

Sizing advice on the Kenwood please?

My shell ones in my Brannock size are too big, but my unworn tan grain ones fit well, but as mentioned I have not worn them out yet.

Quick Question - I picked up a pair of Eagle County boots - I see in the preview image they do bar lacing


Any idea how they achieved that with the hooks and the odd number of eyelets?

Sorry for the silly question - actually my first pair of boots!

I don't think you can do bar lacing with speed hooks. Photoshop.

Ah so I wasn't just stupid - tried for a good 25 minutes.

I like the boots - wish the leather was a bit less distressed looking though, if only I didn't miss that MTO sale - woulda loved them in bourbon calf.

I ripped the lining of my Long Branches doing that.

Now I'm as ginger as a Scotsman when I take them out...
