Nicely styled show, but I have to question the quality on this one, especially compared to other Allen Edmonds I own. The leather is very stiff (not in a good way) and produces large permanent creases at every spot the shoe bends. Definitely sub-par leather compared to my other AE shoes. In addition, the sidce heights around the ankle are different heights between the left shoe and right shoe. The left outside edge is a half inch higher and actually hits the bottom of my ankle. Poor quality control. Hard to believe these were made in the same factory as my other AE shoes which are all of top quality. Overall can not recommend due to overall poor quality, especially at this price point! Although the style itself is great and gets compliments. Wish I would have returned them before wearing.

Only Allen Edmonds - I've wanted a pair of burgundy and black saddle shoes for decades but the problem has been trying to get a pair in a "B" width. No manufacturer (that I've found) other than Allen Edmonds makes them in a narrow. I finally took the plunge and ordered them from Zappos and they were worth the investment. The shoes fit beautifully, look great and are extremely well made. As a couple of the reviewers have stated, if you take care of these, they should last a lifetime. I'm a repeat customer of Zappos and I have found their service and selection to be top drawer.

Great shoe! A very substantial shoe that fit well. I didn't have the breaking-in issues that other reviewers referred to. In fact, this shoe was comfortable right out of the box for me. Has a professional look that has a subtle difference from the standard brogues you see in the office.

Great look and fit! I love this shoe and love wearing it! Great look and great fit, not to mention a wonderful style! Wish AE would try out this shoe in different colors, like taupe with blue saddle. Somebody before said he wore this shoe barefoot -this is not a good idea, they will stink because the linings and insole will darken and hold sweat. Always wear socks with these or any other AE shoe, except possibly for loafers and sandals.

Beautiful shoe, beautifully made. Nice detailing. Doesn't look like everyone else's shoes that you see every day. I wear them only occasionally, and am always asked about them.

Excellent fit. Fits similar to AE Leeds shoe. About 1/2 size larger (longer and wider) in same size than AE Grayson and Park Avenue. No problems with break in. Comments on first day worn as being very unique and handsome. This is my 6th pair of AE over last 10 years. All 6 still in regular rotation. Great products.

Great Looking Shoe - This is a great looking shoe. I tried others, but after seeing this shoe on line, I just couldn't resist. 3 Stars on comfort is because of the break in period. Otherwise, I think this shoe will match any color trousers I wear.

Cordovan and black dress saddle shoe - This is a hard shoe to find in high quality construction using full leather that can be resoled many times. It is a good value in the long term with superior leather that takes an excellent shine. Comfort is a 4 and not a 5 because there is a 2 day break in for the heavy leather. After that, it is a 5. It is a work (office) shoe for me with gray slacks, open collar white shirt, dark blue blazer, and cordovan belt. Allen Edmonds will also custom make them with true cordovan leather rather than cordovan calfskin... but that is more expensive.

Great style and tough AE's - My 5th pair of Allen Edmunds. Very comfortable and durable as all AE's all. Very understated, but classic style. Many of my older coworkers have told me that these are very "40's style". Different, but not obnoxious.

My First AEs - This is my first pair of Allen Edmond shoes and I have only "Great Things" to say about them! The quality of the materials and workmanship is unsurpassed, as well as the look and fit. I have worn these shoes 3-4 days per week for the past 3 months and they only feel better each time. I love the "dress/casual" look, and since they are fully lined with soft leather, I always wear them without socks...very comfortable as my feet stay cool and dry!

Great Classic Shoe - I've had a pair of these for years and usually get a compliment every time I wear them. Allen Edmonds shoes cost more but they will last the rest of your life if you take care of them. I learned that from my Dad and it's true.

Couldn't be better! I hadn't had a pair of these since college. They look great and feel great! Love your website--especially the feature that allows me to see only the shoes that are available in my size and width.
