Allen Edmonds Mens Shoe Store

Trying to find a decent pair of men’s dress shoes is a nightmare today. I wear a size 6 and many stores simply don’t carry anything in my size, or even close to it to fit. Most shoes made in size 6 are generally for kids and very cheap or ugly, or both.
Got recommended to this brand online and looked online and saw a pair of shoes I liked, the McAllister Wingtip Oxfords. Went in-​store and tried a pair on, they ordered the color I wanted for me, they came in the mail and fit perfectly. That was 3 and ½ years ago, haven’t had to buy another pair of shoes since, and I wear mine almost everyday. Allen Edmonds are comfortable, look nice, and at least the pair I got were dressy enough to wear with any suit, and casual enough to wear with jeans or khakis and the like. I have had to get my pair resoled twice due to use, but thankfully I know a guy who does that for a fair price. I agree with the below reviewer that AE shoes are pricey, sticker shock is real in this store. But honestly, for the quality I can’t recommend them enough. Why waste $ 100 on a pair of shoes that don’t look nice and will tear apart quickly after use? If you want American-​made quality, don’t hesitate go to this store. Quality shoes. Just be sure to save up before walking in.

I bought my first brogue shoes here. It is great. It has a student interview offer: a pair of shoes, a belt, which is at very good price.
There is some problem with my debit card /​credit card, maybe it is because of my card’s payment limit. Luckily I had some cash to pay.
Mark is very helpful.
I definitely will visit Allen Edmonds again. I like their brogue shoes.

The best shoe store I’ve been too. Allen Edmonds makes very good leather shoes. I walked in this store for the first time and the staffs were helpful and attentive. I got my feet measured and pick out the style. After two-​three weeks, my shoes were delivered from the factory.
My right foot is bigger than my left so I brought in the store for stretching. Three days later, the pair fits perfectly. Everything was smooth and I am a rather picky customer. ⁵⁄₅.

The state of men’s dress shoes in America is deplorable. You have racks and racks of poor quality, plastic-​looking leather shoes. The cheap, bonded-​leather scratches/​creases very easily and the soles/​heels fall apart on you. Why waste your money on shoes that may only last a few years at best? You have better choices if you care.
Allen Edmonds (AE) is a shoe manufacture that still produces quality, Made In USA dress shoes. These shoes are made of top-​quality leather from the Horween Leather Company (full-​grain, the coveted Shell cordovan, etc.). With proper polishing/​care, the leather develops a handsome patina. Some of the shoes are Goodyear welted, this allows the shoe to be ‘re-​crafted’. Meaning, you can send the shoe back to Allen Edmond’s (or an expert shoe cobbler) and have the shoe resoled (repeatedly). So, these shoes can last years or maybe even decades. (don’t forget to utilize shoe-​trees, proper storage and wax those bad-​boys).
Previously, I was limited to a few stockists in the area that carried Allen Edmonds (such as Sherman Brothers, Nordstroms or on-​line store, ShoeMart)… I was very pleased to see this store open on Chestnut street. They have a large inventory of smart (business proper) and casual shoes. The sales associates are professional/​knowledgeable about their craft. I have not bought any shoes at this location but I hear that store associate ‘old Mike’ is the man to see. Give yourself plenty of time for the fitting process. Your feet will be measured on the Brannock device and you will learn what shoe ‘last’ best fits your feet. Here is a video about the shoe-​fitting process from a seasoned, Master Fitter at Allen Edmonds, Chicago
(yes, I’m a geek about this stuff, it is a dying art).
Allen Edmonds shoes cost a pretty penny… some may see sticker-​shock if you are used to Macy’s type of pricing. However, think of it as an investment. I have been very happy with the quality of these shoes.

Best experience I’ve had at an Allen Edmonds. The staff is helpful and encouraging without pressuring the customer. AE has a great product, but the congenial atmosphere at this store takes the experience above and beyond. Enjoy a complimentary perrier, and relax… they’ll take care of you.

Awesome quality and excellent service. Once you start getting in to this level of quality and craftsmanship on your footsies, it’s hard to go with boots or shoes that are cheap. inferring a lack of quality at certain price points.
You get what you pay for. These are some of the best shoes a man can get.
