The 2023 Allen Edmonds (AE) Appreciation Thread

Oh no…what’s on your mind?

I guess it’s been too long because I didn’t get one.

I cannot express how much I really like the PAB, and how disappointed I am they didn’t release it years ago.

I guess I should have read the fine print. Ms Caleres strikes back.

Honestly, I was only considering the denim or green Strand. Mostly though, I was being seduced by the discount pressure. But it's only a $50 discount now as far as I know, so the lust has faded.

@MajorDash, wow, that convinced me that denim really is like turquoise shell. Very nice.

Has anyone else noticed performance issues with the Styleforum site lately? I'm getting bombarded with pop-up ads, slow page loading and freezing/forced reloads. Seems to be happening on multiple devices?

Carbón vs. cabrón

Does anyone know what the last of the loafer model in the trunk show is, and/or how it fits? Really liking the look of that model but flying blind on sizing with loafers is little like.....

(Be forewarned.....don't turn audio up if you're at work )

I’m here. Just been a busy month with mom’s passing. Ordered a UV HM and a denim PA.

Sorry to hear, man...sending my condolences to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss

Thinking about picking up a TS HM but not sure I can pull off the UV. I’d hate to spend $825 for something that collects dust in the closet. I think the Burgundy would be a safer color however I think the Shell HM is usually available outside the TS with a Dainite sole. In that case I may be better off waiting for the boot sale and just buying it at a discount.

Glad I was in the first round of emails

For those wondering, I emailed Caleres and followed the steps outlined here (taken from the FB group) to get your 2x Collectors Rewards and already got a reply saying my account will be awarded those points.

There can be many things we nit-pick about when it comes to AE, however, we can never question their dedication to us and making things right. Kudos to AE for stepping up and honoring their promotion! And thank you for another innovative Shelltember TS! UV and Denim were quite a treat, but TBH, I was even more excited about the matching Shell Cordovan belts. I think I bought 4 of them (UV, Denim, Green, Chili) and couldn't be happier than they offered this! I brought it up to @Ashley_S years ago and made sure to have my wallet speak on my behalf.

Loafers don’t usually fit me because my orthotics make my heel raise enough to pop out of the shoe when I walk. I’m going to go on Monday to AE in Reston to see if the Newman can work. If it does (hopeful, but likely won’t), which color would you get? I already ordered a strand sneaker in ultraviolet and a PA boot in denim
