    Review: Cobbler Union "Richard" cap toe Oxford

    In June of 2022 I arranged to have an in-person fitting at Cobbler Union’s Atlanta physical store while I was in town for a business meeting. The fitting was documented in a YouTube video which I will link below. My feet are are US size 11-1/2 E to EE on the Brannock with a heel to ball length...

    Your New Shoes are Flawed... Should You RETURN them?

    I see what I would call a pleathora of posts mainly on the Facebook "Allen Edmonds Enthusiasts" group, and the Reddit sub-reddit r/allenedmonds, with people new to higher end shoes, asking if something they see as a problem is something they should return their shoes over. This post is meant to...

    Vintage Dress shoe appreciation, tips, maintenance and advice

I just actually spoke with a gentleman at J&M's customer service line today trying to date a pair of shoes I...

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2018 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

    So lets say that the 65 last size 11.5 3E fits me pretty well, but there is a noticable "v" in the 2 flaps of the lacestay (doesn't close) - does that mean in theory the 201 may close that up?

    Allen Edmonds Appreciation Thread 2018 - News, Pictures, Clothing, Accessories, etc.

    Although I'm new here, I don't know if it's been brought up already... My understanding is that all AE Factory 2nds have the shoe shaped stamp on the sole underneath the arch.

    Introduce yourself.

    Hello everyone, I stumbled across this forum and read the 2018 Allen Edmonds thread until my eyes got blurry! I work in finance so I dress up every day, and am a shoe lover. And I’m cheap. I’m growing my shoe collection which started about 12-13 years ago with 2 pairs of Bostonians, and I now...
