Allen Edmonds Timeless Classics

I've got to hand it to AE for their Timeless Classics collection. Bringing back the Strand and Fifth Avenue models was a great idea. Pricing them at $279 makes it all even better.

The Fifth Avenue in Brown Burnished Calf may be my new favorite AE shoe.

The Strand is a great looking shoe, for sure. I'm tempted to pay retail for it.

Now if they'd just move the Park Ave into the Timeless Classics collection and add a longwing, a plain-toe blucher, a blucher boot and a chukka, they could cease production on their other models.

The McAllister in Walnut is beautiful... thats a definite purchase.

I didn't realize they intentionally priced Timeless Classics lower than their main line. What a great move.

Like others have said, they need to add a few more models, this would be ace.

That reduced price tag makes all the difference in the world. I wonder where I can see the Strand in person.

The image on the front of the site says, "For a limited time only." Figure the prices will go up in a month or two?

The fifth avenue looks just like the Byron, but only on the #5 last instead of #4? I wear both of my Byrons once a week or so. Just a great shoe.

Apparently the prices will go up eventually from a conversation I had with a rep in Port Washignton. I just ordered the Strand in Walnut. Looks nice in pictures.

The 5th Ave seems to be a Park Ave w/ punched cap. I think it adds a great touch to the look of the shoe.

If I wear a 10.5D in the 0, 4 and 8 lasts would a 5 last fit the same?

Also, it would be great if they added some 4 last shoes to the collection.

If you had to choose between the Strand and the McAllister in walnut, which would you select?

 

[DocHolliday]

Personally? Strand, no contest.

Hmm... that's actually not bad for shoes at FULL RETAIL PRICE!! (Dun dun dunnnnn...)

I'm actually tempted to go ahead and grab a pair or two (and dip into my jacket fund to do so).

I second Doc's opinion, and further suggest they add a Chelsea like the Taunton, minus the weird extra flap thing. That and a decent loafer, as I'm not a fan of the wingtip tassle.

Did they drop the Cambridge again?

EDIT: It's there, just not listed in the timeless classics section (and not on discount).

That's the full brogue AE I'd get if I were going to get one.
