These are extremely comfortable and look great! Their biggest downfall is creasing pattern. I've owned nearly all other sneakers and none come close to how bad these crease. I actually sent them in for inspection thinking maybe it was a defective pair but they were sent back marked without defects. So they're now my everyday errands shoes as they're still extremely comfortable but unfortunately look too bad to wear out.

I have many pairs of Allen Edmonds dress shoes (and love all of them) and my 11D size has always been a consistent fit, without fail.
This is my first venture into Allen Edmonds sneakers, and they have a completely different fit. Very well made, but this style runs at least a half size too small, so please be aware!
(I'm a bit sad as I live abroad and just had these delivered, and am now stuck with something I can't wear.)

This is the first pair of Allen Edmonds size 12 I've had to return, it was about 1/2 size to small for me. Seems like a great shoe and I would love a pair, just not a size 13.

I loved the look of this shoe, I ordered online and pick up in store, I tried them on to make sure they were a good fit. I wore them around the house for a few weeks and found them lacking arch support and they were just generally uncomfortable. I expected a cushy sneaker fit and feel but they were more like the flat footed Sperry sneakers.

Love the look and comfort of these shoes. I have wide feet and usually wear 9EE in Hoka sneakers. The 8.5 EEE were perfect for me.
Reason for the 2 stars is the lack of water resistance. I have owned these less than a week and unfortunately got them wet and now they have these horrible looking stains on them. Not good for a premium product.
Make sure you waterproof before wearing!

My government issued combat boots from the Army were more comfortable than these shoes. I will definitely be returning.

The shoes looks terrific. However, they are not made in Portugal like the better quality Allen Edmond sneakers. They are much more narrow and a half size smaller. I even tried stretching them out with a professional device but still are horribly uncomfortable. I expected better from Allen Edmond. Unfortunately, I am stuck with them because I have already stretched and worn them.

This is my first ever shoe review, but I found these shoes to be so disappointing that I felt compelled to comment. AE is a well known good brand, and I used to wear them all of the time. I have migrated to Santoni and Magnanni, but AE is a decent shoe. Problem is the external stitching you see between the sole and upper comes right through to the inside of the shoe. It is real uncomfortable. I thought it was my thin dress socks, so I put on heavier casual socks, modestly better. I feel like the “princesss and the pea”, but you wear shoes like this for style but also for comfort. These get an F in my book.
I'd also recommend:

Purchased shoes. Liked them a lot, very expensive like all A.E shoes but they squeaked loudly when you walk. Wore just once, they wouldn't exchange for new pair.
They said they would send out for repair (these are sneakers worn once!) and would take 6 weeks. Completely unacceptable but learned a valuable lesson - that I'll no longer purchase Allen Edmonds, which I have 4 pairs.
