Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Porter Derby

Love these shoes, the quality is there, good looks, a little tight but should be ok after some wearing, only drawback is the price.

This shoe is not only beautiful but very well made. I highly recommend it to all my friends. Will definitely get another one once this one breaks in about 10 years :).

Couldn't be more pleased. Just what I'd been looking for.

This product is very elegant and comfortable. Indeed, Allen Edmonds is a classical "Dress for Sussex" type or organization. Your Customer Service is second to none!

Amazing and comfortable business casual shoes for everyday wear

I am a size 11.5-12 depending on brand but in these I am an 11. I suggest going to a store rather than buying online. Return for size was easy took them into store and was out in about 10min.

Originally, I thought these were some very expensive sneakers. After wearing them, they are a bargain!! Dress them up or dress them down, they're perfect!!

Fits perfect, very comfortable and looks great. Just what you expect when you buy an Allen Edmonds' shoe

I've had mine for two weeks, wearing them about three times each week. Break-in period was practically non-existent; these were comfortable out of the box. Bottom line: I dropped down a half-size while going up to an E width. Some context: this is my first pair of sneakers (that aren't running shoes) in 20 years so before buying I spent time getting the fit right in the store. I'm a 9.5D in a dress shoe. That sneaker that was too wide in toe box and for my narrow heels, so I dropped down to a 9D. That 9D toe box was tight and I saw the same "right shoe seams rub badly" problem others describe. Removing the insole made the 9D too loose on my whole foot, yet didn't solve the seam problem. I shifted to a 9E and it fits perfectly. Keeping the insole in makes this a hugely comfortable shoe with great arch support. I've worn mine for hours walking around DTLA, through airports and across multiple surfaces, up & down stairs. The color matches black and blue denim well; haven't tried them with chinos (I'm not a "sneakers with suits" fan...). These work well in casual and "smart casual" dining rooms. I haven't seen quality issues yet but will update my review if I do. So far these are a home run! Just do your "fit" homework in person first.

Great shoes, but they do run rather large. Be careful if order online.

Ok. For reference I'm a 10.5 E on a brannock device. Nearly all my dress shoes are 10.5e or 10.5d with some stretching. I originally got these in a 10.5d and found that they were too large and there was heel slippage, so I went with a 10d. I'm really confused by some reviewers saying this runs narrow - it's a really wide shoe. Here's the thing... if you remove the terrible insole your feet sit lower in the shoe, which took this from an uncomfortable shoe to one of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. No break in required and no blisters. Try different sizes in the store and dont just go by brannock or standard shoe size. Do NOT leave a thumb of space in the front of the shoe, that's too much slop for this shoe. This was against store employees advice but the smaller size with the foam insole removed just feels like a much better shoe. I can wear for 12 hours straight with no discomfort. Note - these are made in Portugal but the quality is top notch. Great shoe guys!

Being a typically leather shoes or boots wearer I decided to try these sneakers for casual work days and personal life. Very comfortable right out of the box!! They are a little big compared to the size 11 I have in other Allen Edmonds shoes, but still love them. Thanks for building such quality footwear.

The shoes are so incredibly comfortable! They last well the whole day through.

One of the most comfortable casual shoes I have ever worn

Look great and appear to be of high quality construction. Need a lot of breaking in for a sneaker. Rest in shoe trees for at least 2 weeks before wearing. And the toe-box is very shallow. Won't fit everyone well.

Love the look and feel. Very comfortable. The left shoe squeaks unbelievably. Extremely annoying. Could use some oil. Lol. Drives me and my wife crazy. Surprised Allen-Edmunds didn't catch this. Not up to their usual high standards. Viewed this issue in other reviews, too. The price is right.

A great shoe for comfort style looks. Was disappointed that it was made on Portugal rather than Port Washington Wisconsin.

Love the shoes! Comfortable, great looking. Multiple compliments when wearing them.

I bought it to match with younger generation for my son's graduation. It looked terrific with my seersucker pants.

Excellent and stylish sneakers. Took a few wearing a to break them in, so minus 1 star on the rating.

I love this sneaker. Perfect for any occasion dressed in jeans, tee, or polo. Fits snug around the ankle and room for your toes to wiggle.

Love the shoes.My only suggestion would be a slightly thicker, more cushioned sole. I was Imrpessed by the customer service and easy return when I bought the wrong size. BTW, very true to size. I'm a 10.5 wide, but in so many shoes these days I have to go up a half or even full size. The 10.5 E was perfect.

Shoes are attractive but toe is too narrow, more shoes than sneakers. Reasonably comfortable but I wouldn't buy again.

Decent quality and yes there is extra room for wide feet, but it is a bit too long compared to other shoes.

The biggest complaint I have is that the shoe, which was listed as white, is actually a light yellow color. You really notice the difference compared with the bright white laces. The shoes are also surprisingly heavy, but that's not a dealbreaker. Lastly, I was expecting the leather to be a little softer. Not a dealbreaker either, as it's not uncommon for shoes to have a break-in period. The color was the biggest issue, since it was misleading. I just wasn't expecting an off-white shoe.
