The Devil is in the details. Greetings! Classic longwing bluchers abound these days. Every traditional shoemaker has more than one model in his catalogue. I have compared this Florsheim model with their direct rivals, mainly the Allen-Edmonds' MacNeil and the Alden Wingtip Blucher Oxford and frankly, none of the other shoes looks or feels better than the Kenmoor. Being from Spain, I am familiar with leather, as my country makes one of the best-quality leather in the world. That is the first detail that separates it from the rest: the treatment the leather has received in the Kenmoor, which gives it a subtle but striking look, best appreciated in the tan color, (the one I own), which by the way is handstained, (check out the larger picture to see this for yourself). The second great difference is the double leather outsole, which guarantees years of use and lasting quality. Last, is the price, which is from $70 to $75 better than the above mentioned competitors. This is Florsheim's top and most expensive model, their true masterwork and it's worth every penny.

Fine shoe. I have a pair of these shoes that I have worn for nearly 20 years and am now retiring due to some bad repair work on the sole. The best value in a shoe I have ever had. I can't seem to find my size (15) any more. TEJ Charleston, SC

Kenmoor -the only shoe worth owning. I've been wearing Kenmoors for almost 20 years. I qualify as a fanatic. I have over 15 Pairs. Plain, wingtip, calf, cordovan. I preferred it with the full leather heel/vplate which was stopped a few years ago. These are not quite up to the standard that the Kenmoor style used to set, but even with some compromises that Florsheim has made, no other wingtip of its type that I have found can compare.

Top-of-the-line-class-grade-A. It's true, it's all true--everything the men above have written--the Florsheim wing-tip is unequaled, it really is top of the line; Mr. Quinlan is right, Florsheim made some changes--unfortunately--in the mid-90s, or thereabouts--but the shoe still has no equal, no other company does them so well. Well constructed, a clean, solid look, setting a firm standard. Superb!

Kenmoor Florshiem the best shoes of them all - I have used 3 Kenmoor long wing since 1975 and I found it very durable, comfortable and elegant. I tried to look for the old made in USA Kenmoor but instead they keep on showing me the new made in India models. I prefer the old kenmoor made in USA. I really don't know if it is as durable as the the old models. I could only make a review of the old model, which I find to be be very durable and comfortable. The only problem with it is that with time the leather on the dorsal portion where it bends when walking breaks before the sole gets worn out. I really don't know if this could have been prevented if there were products that I should have applied or instructions on how to prevent this thing to happen from Florsheim. Now I am planning to buy my fourth pair of Kenmoors, this time I'll try the long toe model. I hope the same thing will not happen to it, considering that the price has gone up since the last time I bought a pair.
