Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Park Avenue

I have the most difficult feet! 10 EEE with a high instep. Since I was a young boy I hated shopping for shoes because nothing fit right. The first time I slipped into a pair of Park Avenue shoes I knew I'd found the shoe for me, at long last.

Fantastic fit and finish. Ultra comfortable and ready to wear right out of the box.

My dad wore AEs back in the 50's, so I got a pair for my birthday while in College (34 years ago). Since then I've always owned at least one pair. All I have to do is request 9.5D, and they always fit perfect, every time! The Park Ave is my favorite. I can spend all day on my feet at a conference, and feel great the next day. I'm a customer for life.

The most important reason I buy Allen Edmonds is they are still made in the USA. I recomend the Beryland, 6501-154. I have had these shoes since 2004, they still look great. I also reccomend Nashuo, 42250. I bought these shoes in 2011. They are great shoes and you stand behind them. The stiching on the Nashuo broke, I sent them in, you repaired them at no cost, and sent them back to me. That is GREAT!!

As an owner of 6 styles of different AE shoes, I've found the Park Avenue to be as near a custom made for my feet as any shoe I own. Admittedly, the different styles/lasts break in and wear in their own way, some easier than others, some require a bit more effort. However, the Park Avenue is my favorite from a style , comfort and overall wearability. I continue to re-craft my very first pair (8+ years old) because they still look and wear like new. I have a new pair of black calfskins awaiting to be put into rotation, but its hard to rationalize putting these ones out of circulation. I realize not everyone will have the same positive experience, but for me, these shoes are the best.

Purchased these shoes 10 years ago and still look great.

I would recommend to anyone because of the quality and they make shoes to fit anyone.

A very good fit for my 13A foot. After break-in, the shoes are extremely comfortable. I was so satisfied that I bought a second pair in a different color.

As a businessman who loves the traditional business attire and often is wearing such attire 14 straight hours per day, these Park Avenue shoes are great! At 55 years of age, my aging feet have some issues. I find them most comfortable and able to endure a long day in these Park Avenues. I guard against ever paying too much. While these shoes are expensive, I consider them a great value.

It's hard to find a reasonably priced high quality dress shoe that's made in America. Enter Allen Edmonds. I own two pairs of these and rely on them every day for comfort and style. I have received numerous compliments on these shoes and am prepared to wear them for years with reconstruction. Design is timeless and quality cannot be beat. I did find that my black Park Avenues are a little stiffer than my dark brown ones but love them both nonetheless.

I had been looking at getting a good pair of "real" shoes I could wear to the office and while researching I came across Allen Edmonds. I was in awe of the quality of both material and craftmanship. I went and tried on a pair , needless to say I was sold. Sadly I couldn't afford a pair at the time, fast forward to Christmas 2012 and what do I find. My fiance got me a pair! I wear them every day and I have never had a pair of shoes as comfortable and good looking as these. Loved the shoes so much I just recently purchased a pair of black & white Broadstreet for my wedding in April.

I have worn AE shoes for years. I wear a 12 A.. They fit perfect and always look great. I have had several re craftings on diffrent shoes-- WOW -- Great offer by AE

THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOE I'VE EVER WORN. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

I have bought all the top names and I wear dress shoes everyday, but this pair stood out as an outstanding value. The fit is excellent and the construction/comfort above average. Cheap shoes last me just a few months, but I have used my Park Avenue's for over two years. Yes I did have the sole replaced to get that length and it is worth it. You will not be disappointed with this shoe!!

The shoe is very comfortable and of course with all Allen Edmonds shoes, the quality is superb.

Let me first start by saying, Thank you for opening the Philadelphia Store and the excellent service I received there. This was my first pair of Allen Edmond shoes, recommended by a friend. The Park Avenue shoe has been comfortable, elegant and fashionable to wear for work and every occasion. There are other shoe companies out there, but no shoe company has the product nor the customer service provided by this made in the USA, quality first company. The fit and finish of this shoe is outstanding for the money.The Park Avenue is an amazing Allen Edmond shoe.

These shoes, like most Allen Edmonds look great, and feel great. The merlot color shoes work well with blues, grays and tans. These fit typical of AE lace-ups. Gary, Mountaintop, PA

Had first pair fitted in store to be sure last was correct for me. Bought next two by mail. Very pleased. Have cordovan, grey and tan.

I bought a pair of black Allen Edmonds Park Avenue shoes and owned them for more than 20 years. Had them rebuilt several times, and they were always like new. Simply loved the shoe. Then, on a business trip to Japan, I was asked to observe the Japanese custom of placing the shoes in a locker and wearing sandals while in the business office. When I returned, I found my Allen Edmonds shoes missing. What made the experience simply incredible is that my shoe size is 14! Not a common size at all in Japan. I suppose that the appeal of the shoe could not be resisted and it is now someone's trophy!

There are a few items that are mandatory in building your professional wardrobe: properly fitted white shirts, a few tailored suits in subdued colors and a pair of AE Park Avenue shoes. Look around you and see who's wearing them. Then look around to see who's looking at what you're wearing.

The reason I chose Allen Edmonds was not only because they're so beautifully crafted but because they offer wider sizes and so many different lasts....the shoe fit almost perfectly immediately after putting them on out of the box and are going to be perfect for my wedding.

A message for young businessmen -- I can't remember how many pairs of AE shoes I've worn over the past 30 years. They were the first purchase I ever made where I considered quality more important than cost, and I've never regretted it. High quality shoes make a good impression in the business world. Over time, the cork in the AE shoes takes on the shape of your foot. I've got an old pair purchased in 2001 that I wear to football games and other outdoor events. They are the most comfortable shoes I have. If you have enough money, buy two pairs and wear them on alternate days to give them a chance to air out after wearing. But in any event, always buy and use a pair of shoe trees so that the shoes will keep their shape longer.

The Park Avenue is the best dress shoe I've ever owned. I own 6 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes and have nothing but great things to say about each one of them - but the Park Avenue, for me, provided the best style combined with the best fit and comfort (and durability) than any other shoe I've ever owned. Additionally, I've had more compliments on the Park Avenue than any other before it. Not only do I get compliments on my shoes from every day colleagues and clients, but every time I take my shoes in to any cobbler or any shoe shiner - 9 out of 10 will comment on how great these shoes are in construction and look. Highly, highly recommend this shoe.

Dressy, but not overly so. Just enough detail to be stylish but not cutting edge so can be worn for diverse occasions. Comfortable, as Allen Edmonds always are.

There's a reason that the Park Avenue has endured all these years - it can't be beat, pure and simple. You want to be THE shoe style guy of the room? Slide a pair of Parkies on and you will be. You want to dress up a jersey and jeans? Do the same. There's versatility and then there's Park Avenue versatility. Hands down the most comfortable, usable, durable pair of shoes I've owned in the last decade plus. Having second doubts? Don't even have the first ones - just order and enjoy your style in the Parks.
