Allen-Edmonds are simply the best men's shoes available. They trend towards dressy styles, and the suede cap-toe shoe is one of them. I think suede is a great alternative to black dress shoes for Fall wear. These were ordered in my regular size and were easy to wear right out of the box. They also can be refurbished to new condition with their "Recrafting" service. Unfortunately A-E shoes are rarely discounted.

It\'s like it\'s designed to make your foot look short and stubby. The part with the laces is usually long, and the cap on the toe is unusually short. Put it next to similar styles from other makers, and the same size shoe will look much shorter and stubbier in the Fifth Avenue. Also really dug into my foot in an odd place, in all sizes I tried.

The most uncomfortable shoes I've ever owned. I've had them for 6 months and the leather simply won't break in. They haven't given at all.

This shoe fit well first time I put them on my feet. Wore them all day, the first day of wear. Solid support and comfort. Many shoes and their manufacturers boast about shoe comfort because of cushioned insoles, additional padding, and thick rubbery outer soles. Those products need as much because of lesser materials used and poor construction. These Allen Edmonds shoes need none of that because of quality materials and exemplary build and construction. I plan on wearing for several days, then having local cobbler add a thin layer of rubber to the all leather outer sole for its protection and longevity in between half sole replacements.

Great fit. Quality of the leather is amazing. Fits perfect for a regular 10.5 size. Free next day shipping makes it even better.

I work in retail and needed a comfortable pair of shoes that would hold up to high volume use. Allen Edmonds fits the bill. I've used there re-crafting service and you would swear you get a new pair of shoes back. I rotate these out with some Cole-Haan's and keep them in shoe trees. Gonna have these for years to come. Only 4 out of 5 stars on comfort because the break in period can be uncomfortable but after that they are like wearing slippers

These are a beautiful pair of oxfords. Not too much decoration, sophisticated cap on the toe. Beautiful coloring. I've never worn a dress show this comfortable, especially at the beginning. I've worn other brands, less expensive brands, and they just don't compare. This is my favorite pair of shoes and I plan to buy the same style in black.

Nice shoes, style and comfort is good. I generally wear a 8.5 Kenneth Cole reaction dress shoes and sneakers as well, but the 8.5 on these run a little bigger. I ordered half a size smaller (8) and they fit perfectly.

This was my first Allen Edmonds and perhaps my last. I ordered the shoe in a 10.5, after seeing a Master Fitter at an AE store. The shoe seemed a little roomy, so I went back to the AE store for some advice, and even tried on a 10D and 10E. In the end, the Master Fitter suggested I use a smartfeet insole in the 10.5D (I have flat feet), and it seemed okay when I left the store. As the days have gone on, my feet and knees have been beyond painful, and it seems to be getting worse. Without the insoles, I couldn't even go 1 hour in these shoes. Nice waste of money.

Had issues with the quality and fit of these shoes. In particular it was too narrow on the outer edge of the shoe in a random place. This is after the AE store salesperson fit me. The shoes were not too narrow, they just cut in at one location on one shoe. I thought it was just an odd shoe so I exchanged them and had the same problem with the second pair. Would not recommend.

A classy, elegant shoe with minimal break-in time required. My third wear was a grueling 15-hour day at a conference, on my feet with lots of walking most of the day. My feet hurt a bit at the end of the day which I expected. Inserted shoe trees and let them sit for two days - they are now perfectly broken in and feel great!

The quality of this show is simply the best. From the time I took them out of the box and put them on I knew I had discovered something special. From the uppers to the sole the craftsmanship is excellent. The fit is spot on and the comfort is the best.

Great shoes. They are classic black dress shoes. These days, you can get away with less formal shoes, so I considered the ones with rubber soles, but ultimately decided to stick with the classic.

This is my sixth pair of fifth Avenues. Needless to say, I'm a fan. The shoes work well dressed up or dressed down. Quality is very good. I have one pair that has been refinished twice and possibly will be refinished a third time. These are nearly as good as top shelf English shoes.

I have never owned dress shoes that I didn't have to break in. I didn't have to break these I. I was not slipping on the brand new soles either. The quality down to the shoelaces are excellent. Comfort is also very good for a leather dress shoe. Highly recommend!

I like this shoe. I have arthritis in my toe and needed a wide shoe. This was a perfect fit. This is the most comfortable dress shoe I have. I have am extra wide pair and the fit well without slipping at the heel

Great shoe get lots of compliments when I wear them. Also like how I can wear them with jeans and sports coat for casual look but can also wear with my suit for more dressed up look.
