As the most known dress shoe brands in nowadays US, Allen Edmonds is no doubt the No. 1 choice for many men. My personal experience with AE is mostly satisfactory, leather is good quality, construction is decent.
There is only one issue which may not be a issue especially for American, the aesthetics. It is an issue is because it’s blunt, heavy, not dressy, not elegant, it is not because that is what American shoes stand for.
Anyway, with so many years in the business, so many shoes purchased by Americans, some models become the iconic even classics.
Mackenna
Surrey Chukka
Surrey Derby
Remark
That is where I don’t love it, too many models, I always cannot see the necessity of releasing and keeping selling all those models in the same time. Why just keep the core collection then push out some seasonal models?
Above all, Allen Edmonds will never be a wrong choice when buying a quality dress shoes made in USA.
15年前曾经的心头好。不过楦型,相比较英国鞋,真不大适合国人。
主要还是审美的差异。我觉得美国佬审美真的不能和欧洲比。
美国粗犷一些,咔叽风。
AE还好,这个味道很淡
我现在依旧保留着两双AE,一双十多年了,一双是打折时100刀买的双麂皮靴。AE现在被骂的很多,包括很多老顾客也很不满,已经沦为降价货了。他家的皮带还可以哈哈
价格的确太不坚挺。但是东西真不错,皮革也靠谱。强拉价格,又会销售下跌,是两难。
以前靠谱,现在的也就那么回事了。
我觉得还是非常对得起打折啊,工厂店啊之类的价格的。如果愿意逛逛Ebay,找到没穿过的旧鞋子是非常容易的,价格更是美
每年都能看到不少美产的First Grade AE在100美金上下,已经不动心了,免疫了。
并非价格不好,而是你没有这个需求了。而且,如果说是你档次已经上去了,那么便宜的东西性价比再高,你也不看了。
