I got my Park Avenue´s in 1986 and they still look like new today. Great product!

I used to buy somewhere ( And used mostly "Boat Shoes" ) else but since I bought my first Allen Edmond one year ago I have purchased 5 pairs. When I use them I have the feeling I had NEVER before actually had shoes on, like a perfect loving glove. I am impressed at their feeling, looks, quality. and...Price. They are just Greeeeat! I am just a happy costumer and glad I am buying "made in America"

I have been wearing Allen Edmonds Shoes since 1958 and I am now 82 years old. I am rather very partial to the shell cordovan models and most of the 9 pairs I alternate wearing are shell cordovans! I really love these Allen Edmonds Shell Cordovans ...... EXCEPTIONAL SHOES!!!

A nearly ten year old video that still offers a wonderful glimpse into American craftsmanship. Bravo to the Allen Edmonds team!

Returning my cole haan to purchase American AE. Keep it up.

This video instills faith in the company. Others can say they're handcrafted or that they're high in quality, but it shows the company believes in its products to put out a factory tour video like this. I see others complain that AE is using machines, well yeah, get with the times. It's not robots and androids putting the shoes together, still humans using their hands and eyes. It still takes skill in the craft to make proper judgments during construction, even with machines. If anything, machines make it possible to quickly make mistakes; the speed of those machines exacerbates the mistakes. They would have to be highly skilled to keep up accuracy and precision. They just don't have to use a needle for work that can be done more uniformly with a sewing machine.

Hands down, the best pairs of shoes I've ever owned and worn. I sent a pair of cordovan wingtips back to be recrafted and they came back like new. It may be time to buy another pair of casual shoes this spring. Thank you for the great work everyone at Allen Edmonds does to continue craftsmanship of Made in America.

Much appreciate the commitment to QUALITY and the innovative AMERICAN MADE spirit of AE - You are the best!

I bought a pair of Allen Edmonds shoes after I got my first "real" job. I moved to DC for that job after growing up in Wisconsin and could not have been more proud to support an amazing company from my home state. I will be a life-long customer, your shoes are an inspiration to what Made in USA means.

Happy 100th anniversary, Allen Edmonds!

I bought my first pair of AE shoes a year ago. I've wore J&Ms for many years and still own a few pair. I plan on buying many more AE shoes in the future. I've been throughly impressed with the quality, durability and looks of the AEs. Also they are one of the few shoes still made in America.

I love the pride in workmanship. I will definitely be joining the innumerable gentlemen who wear your shoes.

I love this company. Made in USA. They stand by their product. I've had my best pairs for going on 12 years now, with re-soles, exchanges, re-sizes. I just ordered a new pair and sent two in for re-craft to renew some beautiful dress shoes for another 5-10 years. The new pair was returned for a defect, I know they're coming back fixed! Support companies that care about their team that takes care of our feet! Great video!

I got my first pair from my step-dad 10 years ago. I'll always be a customer of Allen Edmonds - as long as they don't offshore for short-term profit.

The best shoes I’ve ever had. The best thing is MADE IN AMERICA.

IN ASSOLUTO LE MIGLIORI DEL MONDO . CLASSE E QUALITA' TOP

Love your shoes, absolutely awesome. Just want to thank you from a 30 year customer. Thank you to all of you staff. Really cool to see the love of shoes. Hope you all are around another 100 years. Best regards.

Just got my first two pair of AE. A pair of Leeds and a Lexington Cap-Toe, walked out with the Leeds and had to have the others ordered. But I'm excited. I hope I love them enough to start building a collection of AE.

Best value in dress shoes hands down. I bought a pair of black wingtips in 1992, after graduating from university. I still have them today, and they look like new. They are at AE right now getting new soles put on them for the 4th time, and they still look like new. Of course, one of the reasons AEs last so long is you can not have just one pair. I have 13, so that spreads the wear out among more shoes!

This Cia is absolutely the best, I have no doubts about that. They truly care about their customers, what they have done for me as customer is beyond anybody's imagination.

I just purchased four pair, and I'm loving them.

Have had a pair of Park Avenue's for several years...excellent craftsmanship and extremely comfortable...highly recommend Allen Edmonds and will consider buying more when needed!

I have worn Allen Edmonds shoes for the past five years. They are definitely a cut above other shoes and well worth the money.

USA! USA! USA! My next pair of dress shoes will be from Allen Edmonds!

I just found a pair of like new allen edmonds at goodwill for 12 dollars..I purchased them laughing at how goodwill didnt know how awesome of a product they had. Best pair of shoes i own.

You make such an excellent product. I've been wearing my Allen Edmonds Strand 5 days a week for the last 3 years, and it's by far the best shoe I've ever owned.

Great shoes. I’ve had my wing tips for 30 years.

Interesting video. I’m recently retired. I’ve only purchased 2 brands of shoes over the years. Originally, I exclusively purchased Church’s Shoes from the UK. When Church’s exited the retail market in Chicago, (Circa 1999?), I discovered Allen Edmonds and have exclusively purchased AE shoes and have been very pleased with the quality and workmanship of these made in America shoes. Even though I retired over a year ago, I’ve added 12-14 pair of AE shoes in the past year. Yikes! Seriously, AE shoes are one of the finest shoes one can purchase, at least, in my opinion.

I wish someone schooled me when I was younger... Now I have AE as all my shoe choices business, casual, and loafers. Thanks keep up the good work.

I sent my wing tips in today to have them restored by EA. I’m very happy to know these shoes are still made in the USA

I have two pairs of Allen Edmonds and they are worth the money. They are very comfortable and they hold a nice look for a long time.

Great job on my shoes. Much thanks to your employees!

You've sold me. About to buy my first pair right now!

My boss has a pair that lasted over 10 years. He absolutely loves them.

Jim's tie is great

I have four pairs, all still look great and are very durable. I plan on buying more! Great company and amazing shoes!

I wear both Allen Edmonds shoes and boots. I can not say enough about the quality and craftsmanship that they put into their product. After buying Allen Edmonds shoes and boots, you will not look at any other brands out there.

Amazing shoes, best pair I've ever owned. Extra dope for being made in the US.

Fantastic job.... I love the task

i own 3 pairs. worth it. i also bought their belts to match my shoes.

Love my Allen Edmonds!

@Ghoststar2009 thanks for your comment & Question. We do still cut our leather at our plant in Port Washington, WI. Unfortunately we cannot manufacture styles that have been discontinued. Once a style is removed from our line, our equipment is retooled for any new patterns that come into the line. For styles manufactured prior to the fire in our factory back in the 1980's the patterns and dies would no longer be available. Retooling to replicate a style from the 40's would not be possible.

Also - I still have my first Saratogas purchased in 1983 or 84. Unfortunately I didn't know how to take care of them and in 6 months the insides were crumbling away - I didn't tree them and wore rayon socks. Cotton socks and trees are the rule. My oldest pair in regular wear is 25 years old, but they were re-soled by a local shop so can't be recrafted, but I still wear them and they still shine up decently. I owe it all to a salesman at Pogues in Cincinnati (long, long gone) who recognized that my high instep required the 3-last style shoe. I've been loyal ever since, although it would be nice if AE were to bring back the 'toga. I save my pennies and buy two pairs in each color. Black is really, really hard to find. Most of mine are burgundy.

Unbelievable quality

Love my AE Dalton boots. Amazing. 🇺🇸

Their product is top notch and well worth the investment! I have seen it first hand since the company I work for acquired the brand. They are the "Rolls Royce" of men's footwear and accessories.

Worn AE since I was 20 years old. I have had a total of 10 pairs and even handed down a few. Just bought a pair of Daltons and McAllisters for another few years...

AE my favorite dress shoes!! I do have six pair defend style, I am always wearing Mc and ST the most

Just bought a pair of AE’s Stirling boot and I must say that the quality of the craftsmanship and styling is superlative!!! My wife wishes this company never existed

Terrific video! Discovered AE recently, hope to buy a pair relatively soon.

I learned so much about y'all from this! Thank you!

This is amazing

Just bought my first Allen Edmund shoes today. Looks like I made a wise choice and investment. Made in the USA!

Watch Ernest Borgnine on road travel on KZfaq with his son Chris and made few visit Miller's beer and Allen Edmund shoe factory.

Worth spending your money on!

You guys ROCK!!!

Great video!!!!!!!!!

Haydn's 3rd mvt for trumpet concerto, then Hummel's 1st which repeats, closing with a little bit of Hummel's 3rd. I know you all were wondering.

Very nice shoes!!!

If you made all your shoes in America, that would be great. I already own a couple pair of your shoes and plan on buying more. By the way the Elegant Oxford and Trenton and Health are your best marketing agents.

Awesome!

Great video. Best shoes!

I love my Flatirons that i just purchased, but I wish they had a more pronounced arch. I wouldn't hold that against any shoe manufacture since i have especially high arches, but the shoes do feel flatter on the inside than others I have owned. All in all though very high quality, very happy with them, and I would recommend them to anyone. Plus and orthotic... ;-)

Just found out AE makes quality all leather wide shoes. I just bought 5 pairs on its website, returned 3 for varies reasons. All my shoes are to be AE from now on.

I DEAL WITH SHOES ON A DAILY BASIS. THES SHOES ARE THE BEST SHOE OU THERE HANDS DOWN. Great QUALITY, GREAT STYLES, and HAMD MADE IN USA.

Don't you think it's sad that American made products are a rarity these days? I mean the fact that it's a marketing point says a lot. Not that I blame them for doing it. Hell it shows pride.

I'll be a customer for life.

Such a shame the River Oaks (Houston) store improperly fit me in Strands and lied saying they'd break in. Two weeks later my feet literally bled, and now Allen Edmonds denied my exchange saying I wore them. I'll be taking my business to Alfred Sargent or Aldens.

American Made in Wisconsin...! Sweet

Bontoni still king of shoes. AE is in my top 5 for sure

In the "Shoe of Tomorrow" video they bragged about "nailless heels". Why the change to nails? I am glad you can "recraft" the shoes. I was just thinking I don't know if I could find a leather repair place that does resoles anymore. Shame, it used to be every town had one. You could get boots or even leather jackets repaired. I guess everything is throw away now.

I wonder if the wallets and money clips are hand sewed..

Awesome video. You guys make the best dress shoes. I own a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo's, but they rarely get worn. My AE's look better and are far more comfortable. In constant rotation right now are my Jackson's and Pesaro's!

The best shoes company

I am an AE customer and just today saw an Allen Edmonds commercial on NFL Network, it included some great quotes, such as, 'a sea of mediocre will never yield an ounce of great'. Is this commercial available somewhere on KZfaq?

I bought 2 pairs. Black n Chestnut

have you ever purchased a pair of Bontoni? or John Lobb? makes AE a child's play

I have 4 pair of AE shoes in my closet right now. Please, please don’t sell out or compromise your quality. American made, by American workers, with American quality. I would gladly pay 50% more for that. Quality is always a better value in the long run.

I live in Wisconsin and I always wanted a pair of Allen Edmonds shoes. Problem is I have a very wide foot width 6E. I need to call them and see if they can make them?

Magnifique Purée beauté

Great shoes!

When he says we don’t need a shank I’m pretty sure he means heel rand

I'm having a discussion with a friend of mine. Does Allen Edmonds utilizes staple side lasting or bed lasting? Specifically, on a Strand. Btw, I own 2 pairs and waiting for a third, a Strand.

Does Allen Edmond have an institutional archive researchers can access?

I love your shoes; they are the finest available. I have but one question, could I order a pair of discontinued shoes, like something from the 1940's? Do you still cut and make the uppers at your factory in Wisconsin? Thanks so much.

I have a question about Lasts. At 4:20 Jim talks about he 50K lasts in inventory. Is this simply Shoe x Size x Width? Or is there more to it? If I was going to buy a pair for my adult son as a present, can I just look at his size of another shoe....or do I need to have him get sized for AE shoes?

you should show the durability of these shoes.

Dear Allen Edmonds team: At 3:14, what is the model of the weave shoe she’s sewing? The color looks olive, but I don’t think you had the Strand Weave in burnished olive (3393) 9 years ago. I sure would love to know so I can let the guys know at our enthusiasts Facebook group. Many of have acquired the burnished olive recently and we’re crazy about it. Hope to hear from you!

I usually get two re-crafts out each pair before the tops are shot...

To anyone that knows, how do these compare to Vass shoes? Thanks

the question is: do the workers and the presidents at the factor wear their own shoes?

Can you buy reconditioned shoes?

I love American Made shoes and boots. Is it true that you are making the 1000 Mile Boot for Wolverine? And if so is there a way to obtain seconds from you?

Great looking footwear. How do the sizes relate? I wear a 9.5 in White's handmade boots but an 11 in Nike. How do Allen Edmonds sizes run?

How comfortable are these shoes?

MERICA!

My question is are the employees paid well enough to be able to afford to wear the shoes they make?

Daddy needs a new pair of shoes

You may be right as long as a good pair of shoes "is" a quality good shoe no matter where it's made as long as it's reputable and durable. However, I wouldn't consider anything made in Indonesia, China, Vietnam as quality or reputable.

Bought McAllisters and Sanibels myself... Good eye...
