Customer Reviews Allen Edmonds Park Avenue

Love it. Goes with almost any suit. Very comfortable. The last is just a tad narrow on 11D though, especially considering my feet were measured a bit on the narrow side of D width. Apart from that, a wonderful shoe that every man should own for wearing a suit and tie with. I don't get to wear them as much as I want, being that it's Gainesville and you need to find a reason to wear a suit if you don't work in an office. Still, when I do, I feel like a million bucks.

Best shoe ever. I wear a 13E and this shoe fit perfectly right out of the box. Classic styling and holds up well. The leather on this shoe, like all Allen Edmonds takes a shine beautifully. If you want a classic dress shoe, this is it.

The Park Avenue is a great design, and really is the perfect business shoe to wear with black, charcoal or even navy suits. The Park Avenue in black calf was my first Allen Edmonds shoe. I am happy to say that my pair are still going strong, roughly 300 wearings later. They are getting close to needing new soles (I will take advantage of recrafting soon). The captoe balmoral design is the perfect shoe to pair with nicer suits. The black calf is soft and comfortable. It takes on a great shine after a few wearings (I was initially a little disappointed at the factory shine, but that was mostly because I was used to cheaper "corrected grain" shoes). After initial break-in and a couple shinings, they look good. Now, after significant wear and regular shining, they look great. The single oak soles are appropriately sleek and wear very well. The rubber heels will wear seemingly forever. My heels still look very good after 300 wearings (including some wear in the rain, snow and slush). Admittedly, I don't even average 1 wearing per week, because thankfully I don't have to wear suits that often, and I have other shoes that I wear with my more casual suits. My 300 wearings came over the course of about 10 years. I can't say enough about how great a business shoe these are.

Stylish business shoe with lasting impression. Great to wear. Very pleased return buyer.

I have had several pairs of this shoe in different colors. I have a narrow foot so I love your shoes in general and this one specifically.

Very comfortable meaning it is soft inside. Some shoes are hard such that after wearing for some time they are painful. Good grip Looks executive

Of my 8 pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes, this is the one reserved for the most special/important of occasions when my total appearance must be conservative and dignified. Further, the recrafting process is outstanding as well. Allen Edmonds is a classic example of you get what you pay for!

These are the best shoes I have in my 30-pairs collection. The soft leather made of the highest quality just makes you feel very confortable while wearing your suit. Design and craftsmanship is second to none, despite I've been looking at similar products at well known brands in the UK. Best overall shoes after 7 years of wearing them. I bought the 5th Avenue model, but it feels rougher and desing not as elegant in my view. Perhaps more of a winter shoe versus Park Avenue which I used in the summer time.

Attractive version of a classic business-appropriate shoe. Not exciting but always correct, never out of style. Extremely well made.

I think of a good pair of shoes as an investment, I do not mind paying a little more to get a quality product that will last for years. This is exactly how I feel about the Park Avenues. They have a simple classic design that will not go out of style and will look fabulous with just a little bit of maintenance. These shoes make make any outfit look good.

Splendid shoe! Being born in India of English and Indian DNA, my foot is not typically comfortable in 99.9% of American brands. But NOW, made in America Allen Edmonds 11C in 6 eyelet laceup is totally uncompromisingly imbued with comfort at the "next level". Quality, attention to detail and craftsmanship second to none exudes from my "Park Avenue podiatric pals". Can easily stroll with zero discomfort from London"s Hyde Park down Park Lane to the Dorchester Hotel for tea and feel like you walked on air! Bravo Allen Edmonds keep ur product as always "leaps and bounds" ahead of your competition. I'm your "lifer" with shoes.

Simply put, the best shoes I have ever had the pleasure of owning. If you have not owned a pair of Park Avenue's you are missing out on a legendary and timeless shoe.

I bought my park avenues for my sister's wedding 8 years ago and another pair for my dad at the same time to thank him for all he did as our dad. Well all these years later they are still great, but reserved for very special occasions. This year I used them for my wedding and welcomed my best man into the best shoes in the world by getting him a pair. They never get old or look out of place and you will be proud to wear a piece of americana and craftsmanship. Of course my dad got to wear his pair and I got the pride of seeing them both.

I purchased the Park Avenue for business, and I believe this shoe should be a business wardrobe staple for all ages. The black cap toe is not the most interesting shoe, but it serves its purpose well. Bluchers are better suited to my foot because I have a higher instep and wide feet, but balmorals look more professional with suits. I sized down a half size in length and up one width, and the shoes fit surprisingly well. The break-in process was fast and painless, and the sole molded to my foot very quickly. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

The shoe is a excellent in fit, comfort and style. The shoe is easy to maintain and always look good. I get excellant comments about my shoe and your product.

This six eyelet shoe i have had for a number of years, and somehow i always receive compliments on how new they look. The six eyelet look is traditional and always stylish. Exceptionally comfortable, wear well and always help me to look my best.

Fit and comfort are unparalleled. Materials and craftsmanship? Ditto! The ability to re-craft this shoe adds to its value. Fortunately I am not hard on shoes so my Park Avenues will last me a long time. But then... THEY SHOULD(!) considering what I paid for them. I guess this is what it costs for a quality product that is made in the USA.

Excellent shoe. If you are at all hesitant about the price please do not worry. This shoe has kept like new even after over two years of wear. Just remember to clean and polish often as well as use some good shoe trees. My only issue is that the insoles get very slippery and develop a pretty annoying shoe squeak.

The Park Avenue is one of my favorite fiitting shoes from Allen Edmonds that I own. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking a nice good fitting shoe.

I just bought my second pair of Park Avenues, the first pair only lasted "21" years and still had much life left when I donated them to Goodwill. If the second pair last as long as the first pair I will probably be wearing them when my toes are straight up in the casket! Through the years I have owned a dozen or so A & Es, currently I own 4 pairs. Quality has always been "job one" for your company, not just a slogan, but a "fact". I am glad to see that you brought the Manchester back, my last pair of Manchester's lasted 16 years. I also have a pair of Grayson which I've had for a dozen years, they wear as good as the day I bought them. Thanks for the continued high quality of American Made Products.

I am a criminal trial lawyer. Allen Edmonds is the only business shoe that I wear. I have worn this shoe or the Fifth Avenue model almost every business day since it first appeared. For anyone with a wide foot (I have EEE) this shoe fits perfectly.

I have a very narrow foot and have difficulty finding shoes that fit. The Park Avenue is one of the few styles that come in my size. The fit is perfect and the shoe is of highest quality. Great comfort during long days in the office.

I received the Park Ave shoe as a present and fell in love with it. Before I read any reviews, before I was interested in shoes, and even before I knew Allen Edmonds, I fell in love with the Park Ave shoe. The shoe is original, stylish, and just gives me a lot of confidence. The only problem I have is that I only own one so far, so I use it sparingly in fear of getting any scratches or dirt marks.

Nothing touches the Park Avenue. It makes a statement everytime I put the shoe on. Provides great support with the feel of a leather sole. Nothing on the market can match it!! Chris N.KY

I can't say for certain what shoe Nick Charles chose to compliment his best suits when he was on the town, with Nora on his arm, in all those posh, fifth avenue clubs, but what else would a man of style in the 1930's choose except Allen Edmunds? And so it has been for the seven decades since then. And no doubt Jay Gatsby, among the many he must have owned, counted a pair of Park Avenues. When I am about wearing my Park Avenues, agleam with fresh polish, I am shadowed by those men of style. Like the Arrow shirt, and Ramon Lowe's art deco designs, they have become timeless classics. Woman, alas, have been known to sacrifice comfort for style, but men who choose A&E may have both, as my Park Avenues fit like a well crafted glove for long days of business, or evenings out. And, when I'm on the bay in my 34 Catalina, it is always a pair of A&E boaters that is on my on-deck choice. The best of American crafted shoes.
