Customer Reviews Florsheim Kenmoor Wingtip Oxford

I have owned both a black and brown 2007 version of this model that lasted through a resole until a 2013 tornado took them from me. I replaced the black with an identical shoe in 2014, though. Before the tornado, my black 2007's were starting to get a broken down on the non-leather welted edge joining the exterior from the interior is the shoe. I always polished my shoes, alternated, used cedar shoe trees, and a shoe horn to put on my shoes so I can only come to the conclusion Florsheim short-changed quality for profit. Now my black 2014 shoes have far inferior quality in leather than the 2007 black or brown shoes as hey are very thin and feel as if they will crack at some point. My left shoe has developed a squeak when I walk after one year, too. I bought a pair of Allen Edmonds to replace my brown Kenmoor and they are far superior in every single way and worth the extra money, easily. My Kenmoors are comfortable but the Allen Edmonds are like house slippers! So now I am in a position of buying two pairs of expensive shoes to replace these pieces of crap. Spend more now by buying the Allen Edmonds or spend a lot more later in waiting to buy Allen Edmonds. Besides, most Allen Edmonds shoes can be recrafted at a comparable price to just get a show replaced be a shoe cobbler! Do not listen to the reviews of people owning Kenmoors 20 years ago or earlier as they were totally better made shoes back then.
