Allen Edmonds Men's Park Avenue Cap-Toe Oxford Dress Shoe,Black,10.5 D

Great shoe at first a little stiff but once worn a full day and broken in a little with my hands just moving the backs down and up they softened up enough to be a good all day wear.

After buying $40-60 dress shoes and having to replace them every two months, I decided to buy these and hope they last. They're absolutely stunning, and noticeably heavier than the plastic junk I've been buying. I bought them without trying them on in a store. Thankfully, the fit seems close (however, my larger foot is snug width-wise)

Good quality! Son loved them!

Was very excited to receive these shoes in the mail (Nicest shoes I've ever bought, will be wearing them to my wedding) and was looking forward to the whole unboxing. Black box with gold type, flannel shoe bags, pristine leather, the whole luxury experience. Was however disappointed to receive a fairly dinged up box, and shoes that had very obviously been worn on rough terrain. The soles already had deep scratches in the leather, as if someone had tried them on by walking on gravel or rough asphalt, and there were some deep grooves on the insoles which I can't figure out the possible cause of. I will be keeping them anyways, as the scuffing will be quickly outdone by a single wear, and the upper leather is still in perfect condition condition. Plus I paid $280 on Amazon vs $425 from the Allen Edmonds store, so some sole scuffs are worth the discount in my opinion. Still, for a luxury product it is unfortunate to have such obvious wear right from the box, and if I were buying these as a gift for someone I would have to return them for a pristine pair.

These shoes are comfortable! They look great too.

Beautiful exterior, but the inner sole did not meet the sidewall of the shoe, leaving a hard inner sole edge along the length of the foot, making it feel as if I was walking on knife blades. These shoes were promptly returned. Shoddy design/construction for such an expensive shoe. I was willing to pay the price for a shoe made in the USA, but not for this pair.

Allen Edmonds cost a fair amount and are worth every penny. I have been a loyal user for 10 years since I traded $300 for better shoes and got rid of my back pain- quite a deal.

AE must have modeled this shoe using my foot. Out-of-the-box perfect fit.
