Older model, just took a quick Google to figure that out.Originally Posted by factorial
Somehow I don't think there would be a big market for Allen Edmonds fakes anyways -- much more profitable to fake Ferragamos or Pradas.
I kind of agree that faking AE doesn't make a lot of sense. It would be like faking Brooks Brothers. The flashy, designer names are the type of stuff that is more likely to be faked.
Especially faking old shoes like that really makes no sense.

100% authentic.
It is always prudent to conduct research (including history) into any brand name before engaging a purchase on Ebay (or anywhere else for that matter). Too bad those shoes weren't a little more stylish...then again, after watching Shark Week on Discovery channel, I sort of feel sorry for the shark...which now begs a question...what type of shark was used to make those shoes?

Probably the type of shark that is typically caught and sold for meat. Thresher would be my guess.
I'm a big marine biology fan/amateur and also a big opponent of the shark-fishing industry. Most of the sharks being fished are threatened or near-threatened as species. You might think, well, fewer sharks in the ocean is a good thing, right? Turns out that killing off the keystone predator of an ecosystem throws the entire thing out of whack in a major way. So the depletion of the ocean's sharks is actually a serious cause for concern.
At any rate, sorry to digress. Hopefully an interesting bit of trivia at best.

7.5B probably not the smartest size to fake, either.

They're USED shoes. I think people here pay alot more for used clothing than in the real world... especially when it comes to shoes. So 17.99 is not really cheap in the grand scheme of things

While doing my daily search through shoes on eBay, I came across this interesting pair of Allen Edmonds.Originally Posted by mmize
I am no expert in the brand, but the shoes do seem suspicious. Can any of you identify these as an older model, or could these simply be fake shoes.
Real. Not fake.
