Beautiful shoes. Timeless classic and they can be recrafted. The leather on these shoes take a shine extremely well. I have had my shoes for 2 years and they look as good as the day I purchased them. This shoe is the most comfortable dress shoe I own. Step up to Allen Edmonds and you won't regret it.

This is a great shoe. I bought them as a gift and the recipient could only rave about how comfortable they were right out of the box. This is his second pair in 5 years-they last a long time. Its also great EA has a refurbishing program to extend the life of these shoes.

My shoe size is normally 7 1/2 D. Based on reviews from others, I selected a size 8, and it turned out to be the right fit for me. It is an excellent quality shoe that should last many years.

This is the third pair of these that I've bought! They wear well and are quite comfortable. While they can be pricey, they are well worth the money.

This is my third pair of Park Avenues. I was debating on getting a less expensive shoe, but after I got them, I realized I made the right choice. The style is timeless, classy, and not pretentious. AE makes great shoes. Period. And they last forever. I had the last pair re-soled (re-done) by AE, and they do an amazing job.

I was hesitant about spending this much on a pair of shoes, but I must say I am very happy with these. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable overall for dress shoes. The style is, of course, excellent, as you can see from the pictures. I do receive compliments on them, so that is nice too!

I bought these for my husband as a step up from the Bostonians he usually gets. He says they are comfortable shoes, and people at work notice he isn't clacking down the hall anymore. I think they look nice and seem worth the price so far!

These shoes fit like a glove. They are about a 1/2 size longer than your usual shoe but also a touch narrow. I typically wear a size 11.5E; in this shoe I wear an 11EEE. The Park Avenue is made from heavier leather than other Allen-Edmonds like the "Strand" or the "McAllister.” The Park Avenues will take longer to break in.

These are the best Men's dress shoes available. They look great, feel great and are built to last. How often can you afford the best in the world of anything? And get to wear them every day? Highly recommended.

I got these shoes and took them to Japan and Taiwan the next day. They were comfortable right out of the box and for the whole trip and continue to be so. I have other pairs of A-E shoes, and they are true to size and comfortable all the time.

Pros: great quality, looks awesome. Cons: very narrow especially in the toe area. All the shoes I've ever bought in my adult life have been a size 10d. A 10d didn't come anywhere close to fitting and neither did a 10e. Thankfully Zappos has been great about returns, thanks Zappos.

These are my favorite dress shoes; I'm on my second pair. For me, the fit is excellent, and they're as comfortable as a leather sole shoe can be. I have foot problems and must wear orthotics. These shoes accommodate them well while still looking good for more formal settings.

I've had my pair for three years, through re-heeling and thick and thin. They feel comfortable and fit perfectly. They take a shine well. The only reason I need to order a new pair is that my shoe was gashed as I was moving a Steinway Grand. Thanks to the sturdy, thick leather, my foot was OK!

I was previously loyal to Cole Haan but had heard great things of AE shoes from work colleagues. These definitely carry a premium price, but after owning this pair for 3 weeks, they seem to be well worth the investment. The leather was a little stiff initially, but 5 days of wear has broken them in nicely. I highly recommend purchasing cedar shoe trees to keep the shape. On top of the classic style and comfort, the option to send them to AE corporate to have them re-crafted is what sold me. Zappos comes through again!

This is a great shoe, expert craftsmanship, and it's "Made In The USA." What else could you want?! Though this is a narrowly designed shoe, an "E" fit me well.

This shoe was my first from Allen-Edmonds. I had them for 15 years. A-E refurbished them once, and then I found a local shoe repair man who did just as good a job for a good amount less. This shoe is a classic, and I could even get away with wearing them with a tux. A-E does not use a steel shank, unlike the other great American shoe maker (Alden), which means they break in soon and are very comfortable, assuming one was properly fitted.
Brands I'd also recommend: Alden, Johnston Murphy, Bally,
