Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue

This shoe is a perfect dress shoe. I have worn it several times and a with a good polish and it looks great.. Highly recommend the Tan color....

After owning the McAllister for about a year and loving them, I decided to invest in another pair of AE's. I truly love these shoes, they are very comfortable to wear, obviously beautiful to look at and will do nothing but raise the level of sophistication of any attire.

These shoes are beautiful. Wonderful craftsmanship. My only complaint is a little squeak with every step. Small price to pay for looking good.

There is no doubt this shoe has the Allen Edmonds quality throughout. The only concern I had was the last. They felt tight on the sides of my smallest toes. Other than that, the Fifth Avenues are shoes that get attention.

This classic dress shoe is comfortable enough to wear all day.

I'm a funeral director by trade and I always need to look my best. Nearly 4 years ago when I changed places of work most of my new co-workers had at least 1 pair of Allen Edmonds. I was determined to buy a pair. It took almost three years to do so but I have loved my Fifth Avenue Cap-toe Oxfords. I only wear them once or twice per week so I am still breaking them in - they do take a little to break-in but once they are I'll be golden.

Got these in burnished brown. They are a tried and true staple--a little less exciting than other styles, but they are a very versatile staple in my wardrobe.

VERY NICE SHOE --LITTLE EXPENSIVE-BUT LOVE THE SHOE

I got the black version and wore them to an awards banquet. They fit right in at a fairly formal event and still have a little bit of attitude with the brouging on the cap toe. I plan to wear them to my sister's wedding and any other event nice enough to warrant these shoes.

I have several Allen Edmond shoes and have standardized on them. I would have been more effusive in my ratings had one shoe not arrived with slight blemishes. I was able to cover some with waxing. One I couldn't but it will probably be covered over by pant legs. In the future I will probably not buy shoes mail order.

The shoe shine process on this shoe was very bad. I have multiple pairs of Edmonds and this was by far the worst. It looks like someone was shining a shoe for the first time and this was a their test pair. The dark lines from too much polish in one spot was just not up to Edmonds standard and I am actually surprised these passed being able to be shipped out. I did not want to send them back because it is just the polish there are no defects on the shoes but I really thing you should inspect better before you send out a shoe like this.

While the shoes are still one of the best available the quality and workmanship are not what they used to be. I really like the red chili color but these haves turned out to be more brown than red.

I am most happy with the fit of this shoe, but a few operations showing lack of attention to detail need to be pointed out. First is the inside chamfer on heal to prevent catching on the end of our pant leg. Both shoes show little to no clean well defined chamfer. The operation appears to have been rushed and should have been corrected by a quality inspector. Second is a distinct notch in the sole near the heals on both shoes that could have been blended flush for better appearance.

Like many other men, a captoe on the 5-65 last was my first AE shoe. While some opt for the Park Ave, I think the Fifth Ave looks just as handsome with a little bit of interesting detail. They were painful to wear initially--actual blisters formed when I took the shoes to Seattle for a three-day convention. With the benefit of hindsight, I probably would not have purchased this shoe and would have gone for a wider last (and I got this in EEE). But now it fits acceptably well and, although I own several pairs of AE, this is really my favorite looking shoe. I love wearing these with casual clothes as well, since even a v-neck and jeans look better with a pair of dark brown Fifth Aves. (Perhaps this is an LA thing..)

I picked these up on a recent trip to New York. At first, there was some discomfort. The stitching for the cap on the right shoe caused a large blister after a full days wear, full of walking to and from clients. This has since subsided. The main complaint, however, is that after my very first wear, the inside heel of the left shoe "buckled" and now is indented inwards, causing a funny look for me when I glance down at my feet. While this cannot be felt while wearing them, it does cause me to feel trepidation while wearing these around others. Lastly, for those with wider feet, like myself, I definitely recommend trying these on in a store before purchase, as it may take you some time to find the right balance of length and width to ensure the laces tie properly. Overall, good shoe that pairs well with just about anything in a man's wardrobe.

I purchased the (Fifth Avenue) last year in size (8.5 E) in (Walnut Calf) since i bought the (Park Avenue) in size (9D) many years ago and is much longer and is too tight for my foot, they are build on the same last (5) still is too tight on my foot i believe with time my foot will break through to attain comfort fit but am not finding it easy after few hours of wear.I suggest that you build all your shoes with narrow last on (EE WIDTH)

I take an 11.5D in pretty much every AE shoe. However, I recently bought a pair of Fifth Aves and for some reason they seem narrow-especially in the toe box. They are pretty painful right now, but I am going to have them stretched, so hopefully this will help. I should have returned them for an 'E' but I was hoping that they were just stiff.

Overall a good shoe but make sure you read how to take care of them I didn't buy shoe trees right away and Ended up with a crease in the toebox on that one of the shoes. However they fit so well and we're so comfortable that I have since ordered another pair shoes and the customer service is hands-down the best I have ever seen.

This is a good quality shoe with a classic look. If you're looking for somewhere to start your dress shoe collection, this is a good place.

great shoe, but does scuff easily. purchased the burnished and love the comfort and look, but began to scuff, deeply, very quickly. on the toe even small chunks were taken out showing raw lighter leather underneath. overall great shoe, but was a bit disappointed that happened so quickly and easily.

No real complaints. Takes a little while to break in nicely. Great clean/professional look.

An excellent shoe. I would recommend to anyone starting out in business to pick up a pair.

The shoes fit great when I first got them. My opinion remained the same after the first day of use. After the second day, however, I could not wait to take them off. It felt as if the vamp was digging into my toes. At first, the problem was only with one shoe. I conditioned the vamp and the leather sole in hopes to soften the leather and have a better "flex" as the shoes were quite stiff when I first got them. Maybe I received a bad pair. I had really high hopes for these shoes as I had only heard praise of the brand and they fit my insoles perfectly (something I can't say of most dress shoes).

Great AE shoe. Should be a staple in a beginners closet. Runs very long and not as narrow as expected. I am a size 12 in running and all athletic shoes. I obviously ordered down to a 11.5, as it is a dress shoe, and it was still at least a half size too large. I probably could have gone 10.5 and been fine. Lastly, regular polishing keeps them looking like Day 1. There are never issues with returning to make the fit perfect. AE staff and customer support is fantastic. Overall, you will be pleased with the shoe.
