Top Allen-Edmonds Shoes for Men

By Desiree Stimpert, About.com

Classic style and precision detailing are hallmarks of Allen-Edmonds shoes. Undergoing 212 different production steps, each pair is hand-crafted, and they look great -- but what really wins men over is the superior level of comfort. A cork layer between the insole and the outsole is imprinted by the wearer's foot, giving the shoes that "custom-made" feeling, so it's not difficult to understand why fans of Allen Edmonds shoes are nearly fanatical in their loyalty.

Here are a few of my favorite styles.

1. Allen Edmonds Shoes - "Messina" Woven Loafers

These woven leather loafers exude luxury while still remaing casual. Moc toes and rounded stitching make them naturals with khakis or jeans, and the brown shade is classic, while the black version is great if you like something a little more dramatic

2. Allen-Edmonds 'Sutter' - Simple and Attractive Dress Shoes

These attractive dress shoes feature a classic plain toe and come in a beautiful shade of burgundy or basic black. Either version would add streamlined and sophisticated touch to your suits.

3. "Back Bay" - Gorgeous Allen Edmonds Dress Shoes

This is one gorgeous oxford. With uppers in the shade of burgundy, these cap toe dress shoes would be great with navy or grey suits, and offer a nice alternative to black dress shoes. If you don't want or need an alternative, these shoes are available in black as well.

4. Allen Edmonds Shoes - "Martin" Upscale Casual Shoes

Casual, but still high on style, these driving-styled mocs have a hint of European influence, and sophistication to spare. Available in brown or black.

5. "Peyton" - Unique & Casual Allen Edmonds Shoes

These shoes are so unique, I absolutely love them. With an extremely contemporary design, and a decidely Euro feel to them, the "Peyton" is a bit of a departure from the more conservative styles Allen-Edmonds is known for. Offered in tan, brown or black, these casual shoes are ideal for pairing with jeans or khakis.
