    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I also have the tan Chukkamok's and I used mink oil with similar results. I use them as my business casual bad weather work shoes. They are extremely comfortable with the rubber sole and soft leather, however I find the leather a bit hard to care for, especially when trying to clean. It picks...

    Couldn't resist picking up a pair of Aberdeen's in Tan Dublin from the Shoebank for $159. Will be nice for bad weather days.

    Allen Edmonds new shoes issues

    They are nice looking shoes. I would just wear them. Remember they are from the rough collection. The leathers used in the rough collection (Tan Waxy, Tan Dublin, etc....) exhibit natural character markings. The Calf used on the dress collection is usually more defect free. As soon as you...

    PSA: People who claim cheap shoes "explode" after a few weeks are full of ****

    Back to the original intent of this thread, part of the issue is that the glued construction that many of us turn our noses up at is actually very reliable in many cases as adhesives have come a long way.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I used Meltonian Mink Oil on my Chukkamonks and it darkened them slightly, which was my intent. Meltonian is a mix of silicone, Mink Oil and Lanolin. I used a cloth wrapped around my finger and brushed after it dried for an hour. My goal was to darken them and possibly make them a bit more...

    Chukkamok's just went on clearance for $195 as I was looking for a shoe/boot to wear to work on bad weather days to compliment my nicer leather soled dress shoes. Here is my Tan pair with a fresh coat of mink oil. I'm a fan of the Rough collection and also have some Neumok's. They...

    Tips on Spotting Fake Rolexes

    While I will never own a $5k Rolex, I know a bit about watches. A $300 fake is not "functionally" identical to a Rolex, maybe to the untrained eye, but a Rolex is about build quality and details. This argument misses the point however, fake watches are illegal copywrit infringement. Your...

    The blasphemous odd vest/ jacket thread

    Surely you know what "Steampunk" actually means and realize the difference between it and wearing Victorian era clothing for a class - which FlyingMonkey admitted to,. This is Steampunk:

    Thinking about buying this watch:

    Not technically a fake as it has a sterile dial, but I still wouldn't wear it. Might be embarrasing if someone thinks it is a real Panerai and asks you about it. Quality is probably ok though.

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    I've spent way too much time on Watch forums and car brand analogies never work for several reasons: 1. Class Issue. Higher income folks see Allen Edmonds as basic no-frills business shoes a la Chevrolet as they have no issue dropping $1k for a pair of Vass or a payment on their Mercedes...

    Is it possible to look good buying cheap clothing?

    This guy has also founded a company that does business in at least three countries, and he dresses fabulously as well, here with an odd vest:

    Taps on rubber soles?

    Are the soles/heals 100% rubber, or leather with rubber caps? Rubber heals compress a lot when your foot strikes the ground, which is why I made the original statement about how the screws or nails might hold. Glenjay above was speaking to leather soled shows, which often have a rubber...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread - reviews, pictures, sizing, etc...

    This shoe is on the 5-65 last which is long and narrow. I have a pair in size 10D, which is my normal AE size. These are definitely longer. I have had Kenilworth and Fairfax AE's in 10D and they fit snuggly and perfectly. The lack of a lining seems to be what makes them a bit roomier. They...
