I’ve not been a fan of Allen Edmonds for about 15 years now. Because the day their new inventory got here in at Nordstrom (whereas I used to be promoting there) and I might see that that they had cheapened the outsole and insole of their new collections, on the similar time whereas elevating the value. For me, that day marked the demise of the model, and in my view, it has solely gotten worse since then.

However that every one went out the window the second they began utilizing cheaper supplies which had been so blatantly apparent.
Whereas I really feel their worth for cash declined, I’ll say that I’ve appreciated the truth that the design workforce have stepped it up within the final years and doing issues a bit extra daring and distinctive, not overly traditional which is what they constructed their title upon. However placing that apart, I actually don’t charge them like as soon as did.
