Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue

When I was younger I never paid much attention to the quality of shoes I purchased. My selection FS and then uped it later on to JM. But I always remembered growing up seeing my uncle Joe (I think we all have had an uncle in our life) wearing wing tips. They were AE's. And I remembered touching them and thinking what a pair of Solid made shoes. Since my uncles passing some 33 years ago I often think about him and those wing tips he wore. It wasn't till about 10 years after his passing that I too decided to purc my first pair of AE's and over the yrs managed to accumulate about 10 pairs and still counting with my latest purchase of 3 pairs in April of this year. ALL of these shoes (in my opinion) are made by the best cobblers there is. Unsurpassed quality. Equal to none and in a class all by themselves. I haven't had a better pair of shoes in my life. To me its like driving down the street in a Ferrari.

Fantastic shoes for dressier and more formal functions. These shoes are built to last, I have had them for over a year and love this pair in the dark chili leather. I polish and brush the shoes as needed to make sure they're in presentable condition. I believe the shoes will be in good shape for at least 3 years of consistent wear before I will need to recraft them. The initial sticker shock is what prevents a lot of people from looking into Allen Edmonds, but everything they make is classic and worth the investment, after the shoes are broken in, they are incredibly comfortable and you can wear them (and would want to wear them) for years before needing to repair.

Very comfortable and a classic style that I can wear for the foreseeable future.

These Oxford quarter-brogues in merlot can be worn with almost any suit all year round. My first pair of dress shoes from Allen Edmonds, size 12 D, comfortably snug, as they should be. And the craftsmanship, price, and customer service make them a treasure.

This is the best pair of shoes I own/have ever owned. Comfortable and stylish.

Typical Edmonds' quality. Comfortable from first wear. Stands out in a crowd.

Most comfortable dress shoe I have ever owned. They look great too; I have received many complements in just a few days of wearing these beauties. Fell in love with the Allen Edmonds story after buying my first pair several months ago; this is my third and favorite so far

Durability with a stylish facade, the shoe mimics its eponymous avenue. My experience wearing them: dance shoes in a suit of shining armor.

So, AE shoes. Well, I write this review and could write several. This is my ninth pair of AEs. Multiple reasons. Primarily, quality and sizing. I have a 15B, that is a bear to find anywhere. The reviewed shoes have great coloring, stitch work, and were a great fit, with a little room for expansion in the laces as the leather softens and relaxes over time. I alternate all my shoes daily, wearing AE shoes 5 days a week minimum. I would say that is a solid testimonial. Thank you, Kevin

I have two other pairs of AE shoes that have turned out to be very nice and very comfortable. This was my first time trying the 5th Ave. I was surprised to find that they were comfortable right out of the box and had a nice broken in feel after only a couple hours of wearing them. I will definitely be ordering a pair of these in other colors.

Great design for normal work, not too formal but serious enough, received a lot of praise.

Bought these alost 4 years ago and with a little love look as good as ever. Still my go to shoe when I have to impress. Run a little narrow which fits my foot perfect!

After finishing graduate school, I began the quest to look like a young professional. Those shoes are an essential part of that quest. They look amazing and I received numerous compliments. Highly recommended them to anyone striving to look professional.

Gentleman, My first pair of merlot colored shoes and I'm sure glad I decided to try them. The deep rich color is just stunning and elegant. Will go with a variety of trouser colors. Quality of the leather, stitching and overall craftsmanship is excellent. I'm very picky about clothes and shoes; let me assure you gents, I looked these over thoroughly and could not be more satisfied. Purchased these in size 10 1/2 E, fit is spot on, cone height is just right so is the width at the ball. I have a medium to wide size foot. 10 1/2 E to 11 D in most lasts. They're a little stiff at first, but that was expected. I polished them with the matching polish which really enhanced the color. My wife commented " What beautiful shoes". Kelley in customer service is just an absolute consummate professional. Pleased as always, thanks so much.

This is the first time I've ordered from AE, having used competition previously, and day one when I wore yours, you can say good-bye to your JM competition for me.

This is my second pair of Allen Edmonds shoes, and I am delighted with the apparent quality, style, and craftsmanship of these shoes. Moreover, AE customer service is exceptional. Holly D was very helpful and navigated my purchase with professionalism.

How does one describe effervescence? New leather can be a pain, literally, but Allen Edmonds' array of sizes, along with their signature crafting, brings a mark of distinction, notable not by mere cosmetic conception, but in the prideful spring imbued to the wearer, as one slowly molds the shoe to well-burnished, old leather. It is a more visceral than outwardly subjective reaction. The quality is palpable. Placing this pair of shoes (and most of Allend Edmonds shoes) upon one's feet marks the beginning of an excellent, sartorial adventure.

Great compliment to my walnut park avenues and as usual wonderful craftsmanship!

This shoe provides me complete satisfaction in comfort and looks.

This was my fourth pair of Allen Edmonds shoes that I have purchased over the last 3 years. In the past, I have purchase a pair of Broadstreet (Brown and White), McAllister (Black), and Fifth Avenue (Brown). I love the Fifth Avenue collection so much that I recently purchased a black pair. Both pair of fifth Avenue's were nicely crafted and required no break in time at all. I have received many compliments whenever I wear my Allen Edmonds shoes and I only wish that the Broadstreets would be re-introduced so I can purchase the black and white.

I love these shoes. I like the style, with just a tad of flare but otherwise understated, and the color is different from others in my collection.

I know that an Allen Edmonds shoe in the 65 last will fit me great, and that the 65 last in a balmoral shoe will usually fit me perfectly. Consistency means a lot. This is my first pair of Fifth Avenues, and, no surprise, they fit perfectly. The Fifth Avenue is a formal-looking shoe, but I hoped that in Walnut it would be more flexible and work with less formal dress. It does. You don't have to be wearing a suit to wear these shoes. The walnut finish is gorgeous. They look just great. Clean and simple.

Quality shoes I have come to expect from Allen Edmonds. I love these shoes!

Very happy with the look and feel of the shoes. Soft and not stiff - making it very comfortable and not having to worry about breaking them in or being hard on my feet. Wore them for 16 hours the first day and feet felt great! Worth every penny.

Love them!! Keep them coming! Happy with my second pair of Allen Edmond's
