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

Stumped on these at Nordstrom.
Short wing bluchers called Madison Park. Are these the players 2.0 for Nordstrom?

Sure seems to be the players 2.0 pattern. There were traditional calf, black, walnut, etc, planned for this spring. I wouldn't be surprised if Nordstrom had an "exclusive" shoe made.

I have Park Avenues (black) in 10D if anyone wants.

I might be interested. What's the condition and price?

I currently own three pairs of them. The Brooks Brothers one in light brown, the Allen Edmonds version in light brown, and dark brown now. Clearly I have a problem.

I also own four pairs of Daltons. Walnut, chocolate, dark chili, and walnut shell.

Oh and some Long Branches in dark brown grain.


I have a boot problem.

Sounds like you're gonna need to track down the chili and oh so rare black versions

OK Gents -

Shell cordovan MTOs are back on! The stores are doing a limited run of any shoe in shell cordovan with NO UPCHARGE! Only in black, brown, and burgundy. I ordered mine from South Coast Plaza - a black Strand, brown Cornwallis, and a burgundy Shelton (like Bl@ster). Let the MTOs resume!

I found a pair of black ones on ebay but will probably pass. I do like the look for a black boot, but in general I just don't wear much black. The chili ones are nice, might grab some one day but I've got plenty of choices at the moment!

Wow, awesome news. Any word on welt/edge choices? Is it truly "MTO" or is it just factory specs with shell instead of calf?

I've been wondering when this would drop. They're calling it the MCW5

E seems very aggressive in pushing the envelope and creating new styles..I'm liking it...I can respect that

 

[peppercorn78]

A black strand with one eyelet at the top? Wha?

 

[peppercorn78]

E going all in on the poron insole, huh?

That looks an awful lot like an LGA. Nordstrom calls the Road Warriors they carry by names, not the airport letters.

Nah, this is the LGA. They have all their Road Warrior shoes listed by their airport letters.

MCW doesnt seem the type to wear AE. Ill have to ask my team source what he wears in and out of the arena.

Did they intentionally make the back panel out of wrinkled/crappy leather? Is that some sort of stylistic choice (like the green eyelet for the Bucks' jersey color), or just choosing a poorly made pair to photograph?

Edit: Nevermind, I see it's sharkskin.

Looks like black shark. I think it works have been a more obviously deliberate choice of covered more of the shoe.
