What is your best suggested Allen Edmonds style for wearing with a suit?

[tommboy]

Ive really taken a liking to the shoes on the Allen Edmonds site and was trying to find a good pair to go with my black suit. What is your favorite? Or maybe even suggest a few styles thank you!

Park Avenue in black or merlot. I'd prefer the latter with a black suit, at least in the daytime, but then I don't own a black suit. The Soho also looks good, but I don't own any.

I like the discontinued Byron if you can find it. A-E is reviving the Fifth Avenue, similar to the Byron but on the sleeker #5 last.

You didn't catch his carefully laid trap? The subtle black suit line.

I was revising my post even as you made yours.

Do we have any other suggestions for shoes that go with the suit? I like the park avenue but would want to get black, Here is a picture of the suit so tell me if the black would go well.

I like AE's Strand and Mora better than the Park Avenue.

I vote the Manhattan or the Evanston. Park Avenue obviously is the classic pick but I think they look a bit oudated and bulky.

This one. Because when you're on your feet serving food all day, you need comfy shoes.

I have the Strand, and I really like it a lot. I wouldn't wear it with a black suit, but then again, I don't own a black suit.

With that suit, I'd go with the Park Avenue. You could go with a wingtip (they have a few), but I like the simple Park Avenue contrasted against the pinstripe.

I meant in black, of course.

I own a pair of the Soho. It is a wonderful shoe excellent quality, fit and it has a contemporary look.
