Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Wide Basic Dress Belt

Wow! I needed a dark brown belt to match a pair of dark brown shoes. I have been through five other brands, and either the dark brown wasn't really dark, or the belt was cheaply made (or both). This belt is clearly high quality, and the color is as dark as I needed. This is indeed wide for a dress belt, but not too wide. I would not want to go any larger for dress or suit trousers. If you're looking for a wide belt for jeans, this is not wide enough, and it's too dressy for jeans anyway. I'm so pleased with this belt I am ordering a few more in different colors.

Not as Advertised - I like this belt quite a bit. The chestnut is a beautiful brownish color, it has a nice style, well-made, & worth the money. My one issue is actually with Zappos & not the belt itself. Zappos advertises the belt as being "wide" & 1 & 1/2 inches (1.5 inches). It's NOT. In reality, it's a bit less than 1 & 3/8 inches. I bought it specifically because Zappos said it was 1.5 inches, so I'm disappointed.

Shouldn't it match? I bought this belt in the Chili Burnished Calf to match a pair ofAllen-Edmonds Weybridges in the same color. I was a bit shocked to find that the belt didn't particularly match the shoes- it was kind of a dull brown, and not very dressy. The shoes are tremendous and I would recommend them to anyone. The belt? My Perry Ellis is a better color match, and dressier.

Needed a belt in a hurry and Zappos came thru. Only issue is that these run a bit small in size. Great belt. Greater company!

Belt didn't hold up. The black looked like it as painted on. It was a gift and I'm embarrassed that this expensive belt didn't hold up any better than a $25.00 belt.

This belt starts wearing out within 2 weeks. I have already started to notice that some of the brown coloring is wearing off and can see the lighter brown underneath. I am disappointed, as this is a lot to spend on a belt to show visible wear within a couple of weeks. I guess I will go back to the higher-quality Cole Haan belts. At least I gave Allen Edmonds a try!

Great belt; very high quality. I have waffled in the past on dishing out the extra cash for a "nice" belt, but I am very happy that I finally made the commitment.

Bought this belt for son's Christmas 2010. Returned because found a better priced belt that was reversible with black/brown colors. The belt was very nice and would be great for suits that need this leather quality.

Perfectly nice belt. Not too flashy, a little small to size (or my waist is a bit larger than I thought). I wish the color were a little bit darker brown, but the picture is more or less accurate.

This belt is of excellent quality. The fit is perfect.

Great Quality! Will purchase again in the future..

You may find other leather goods and belts in department stores, as I have done through the years. They are cheaper and seem to do the job fine. For this belt however, you are getting what you pay for. Once you feel the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship you will not be able to tolerate the cheap imported brands with the design name on packaging. Allen-Edmonds makes higher quality leather goods and it shows once you wear them.

High quality belt that fiit well. I would recommend.

Exactly what you would expect from Allen Edmonds - excellent quality.

This was a gift to my Son. He likes the look and quality of these belts. He has several colors and wears them daily to work.

Classic look. Well made. It goes well with everything.

High quality dress belt that compliments my Allen Edmonds shoes.

I thought this belt might be to dark but it was perfect. Looking again at picture the color is about right. I think it might be a slight shade lighter. Anyway, it was exactly what I needed for my chukka's. It looks smashing with jeans.

This is the perfect belt, not too thin, like the 80's nor too wide, like your grandfather.

I have two pairs of the Randolph. I wear each usually once a week. They may be my favorite shoe ever.

Great looking belt looks good on jeans or suit. Smart or business casual this is the belt for you!

I own two more belts like this one. They don't wear out! I just bought another one, just because. They are indestructible. Top quality leather.

The fit and finish of this belt is just what I hoped for.

I bought this belt to match my suede shoes. Belt color matched perfectly and fit was right on.
