Allen-Edmonds Park Avenue SKU #118479(View on Zappos.com Classic)

Excellent shoes, very comfortable, high quality. They do scuff easily, though. I'm planning on buying a second pair to keep in rotation soon.

I love this style and all of the Allen-Edmonds shoes I bought for professional wear. They are as comfortable as running shoes--minus the inappropriateness for many situations. I learned valuable lessons from Allen-Edmonds shoes, the first I bought (on sale) when getting my graduate degree. So I'll pass them on, because when they don't fit right, it might be your fault!!! The last--some shoes are on straight last, some on curved--just look at your footprint in some sand and compare to others. Lots of variation, yes? Not only that, but you may measure "normal" from heel to ball of your foot, and short thereafter, as was my case. So, I thought I wore a 9, when I really wore a 10.5. When I got my first pair of 10.5s, problem solved!!!! Some extra room in the front, but they fit where it COUNTS--heel to metatarsals, and higher arch (you Keds wearers now know why other kids work "tie shoes." Those lessons--different lasts plus size modificaton because of my short toes...plus number three, a quality LEATHER insole (typical for AE) and you have wear-em-all-day business/professional shoes. And no-one makes them better the Allen Edmonds. It is like buying American--you shouldn't be buying Asian cars, or Asian shoes, at least not right now. The shout "American" like pair of American made Justins or Lucchese boots. Go get 'em!

The Cadillac Of Dress Shoes - These shoes can be a bit pricey, but they fit perfect out of the box. There is no "break in" period and they look sharp.

Did not settle - Usually I have to settle for D width shoes and figure out how to make them work. The Park Avenues in C width were perfect. The only reason for 4 stars for comfort is because they are dress shoes with hard soles. These shoes are expensive, but they are also well built and beautiful.

Best Dress Shoe in the Market - If you are hesitating between the Park Avenue and another pair of shoes, please do not hesitate! Price, quality, reliability, comfort... there is nothing like it. I have been a loyal Allen Edmonds customer ever since I bought a pair two years ago; these are my third pair. Again, nothing like it. The best dress shoe in the market.

My first impression was that these shoes are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. The shoes have a traditional cap toe style, but I would have preferred a less pointed toe such as with the AE Byron.

Allen-Edmonds Park Avenue - Shoes arrived in 2 days. Very nice shoes.

Just bought my 2nd pair!!! These are, by far, the best dress shoes I have ever owned. They took a couple of wears to break-in, but, after that they have became the most comfortable dress shoe I have ever worn. They are incredibly well-made and look very sharp. My first pair were black and I just ordered a brown pair. I wish I would have spent the extra money years ago.

You get what you pay for! I read a lot of reviews about this brand of shoe. Comments like "comfortable right out of the box," yada yada, and I was skeptical you know. But I'm happy to report that being a skeptic isn't always what its cracked up to be, at least in regards to these shoes. Bottom line: Buy this brand of shoes, it’s worth every penny, and the people who proffered that the shoes are "comfortable right out of the box" were right. Glad I shelled out the dough.
