Obsessed with finding deals on Allen Edmonds

[TenTriply]

I just started my collection of welted shoes, and I’m head over heels. I can’t believe how different I feel in my Allen Edmonds (AEs). My confidence has soared at the office.

I’ve become something of a master in finding eBay deals, and checking ShoeBank for good deals in my sizes.

I’m still amazed at AE’s superior fitting. I can buy a pair of 10 EEE on eBay, and know they’ll fit perfectly when they arrive.

I’ve also learned a ton about shoe care online, and if that isn’t enough, I found Advanced Shoe Care in NYC in 1st Avenue. This cobbler really knows his stuff, and he is a certified Saphir distributor with all the right products.

So I’m set. I’m enjoying my shoe collection and looking forward to continuing building the rest of my wardrobe.

Pictured are my new pair of Oak Street in navy, with red Dianite soles, after a thorough conditioning in Renovateur, generous application of navy Medaille D’Or, and a layer of neutral high gloss Pate De Luxe. These are factory seconds I picked up for a song, and amazing deal.

For some reason a bunch of extra photos uploaded I didn’t intend to post. These are Carhartts I bought for a buddy of mine (he gets them tomorrow). He can’t afford good shoes, and I want him to have some 360 Goodyear welted work boots he can enjoy that will last long enough to have resoled one day.
