Hi all,
I read that Allen Edmonds presented several new models; I'm interested in seeing pics of the "Seven" shoes. Any feedback about this line ? Price ?

Thanks and waiting for your answers,

Engi

Not really a helpful response, but I wanted to mention that I went in the Connecticut Ave AE store in DC on Saturday specifically to ask about the Seven line. The salesperson was remarkably indifferent, staring out the window as I spoke to him, giving non-committal responses to my few polite questions, including:

"I've seen photos of the Seven series online "” do you have any currently, or know when they'll be arriving? I'm due back in DC in a few weeks, I'd love to try"”"

"No. We don't have them."

Pause. "Ah. And so, do you know when you might?"

"No."

I was wearing AE's (Lamberts) for chrissakes. Carrying a bag from Brooks and one from Burberry. Clearly ready to lay down some money. Baffling.

^^ I bet you're young. I get the same treatment a lot of the time.

I believe there was a previous thread regarding this topic with some hard to see pictures. If you email AE, they will send you a booklet and sheet with all of the new models. I have held one pair and it seems to be very nicely done. IIRC, price is around $550.

Ah, were that but so. [Crank the Prufrock strains here.] No, a pretty average middle-aged white guy in sober dress casual. Perhaps a bit bleary from a late night at Bistro du Coin the night before, but nonetheless treated attentively and well by store clerks at previously visited stores.

No big deal -- any number of factors could be involved. But... it was my first visit to an actual Allen Edmonds brick and mortar establishment, and I was anticipating some serious shoe love. So, I went next to Filene's and staunched my wounded pride with discounted Pantherella socks.

Sorry for the derail.

I know the SCP store has them for sure. I would imagine the NY store does as well.

From the other thread, I thought the price was 350. I like the Tresana, personally.

Was it the manager? The gentleman with a beard/goatee? I went in there to grab some trees, some polish and brushes (stuff thats a pain to travel with) and he was very nice, we had a great conversation... even about the seven line... And I'm twenty, thats kinda lame.

I've seen them at the AE Seconds store already. They are also listed in the Seconds catalog. I forgot what the price was though.

Nope, I didn't see him. I was speaking with (at) an African-American man, mid-thirties.
