When conjuring an image of the quintessential, classic American shoe there is only one name that comes to mind: Allen Edmonds. For the last century, Allen Edmonds has been supplying men all around the world with well-crafted, time-honored footwear.
This year, Allen Edmonds celebrates its 100th anniversary, a century during which it’s fully lived up to its brand promise, “to create superior quality men’s shoes made of the best leathers and created by the best craftsmen in America.”

A man’s wardrobe would be incomplete without a pair of timeless, reliable shoes and since 1922, Allen Edmonds’s artisan footwear has reigned supreme, establishing themselves as some of the best men’s shoes on the market.

Allen Edmonds recognizes sustainability as part of its brand DNA. That’s why every pair of Allen Edmonds shoes is designed with intention and manufactured masterfully: they’re made to last for the long haul. The lifespan of a pair of Allen Edmonds is only further extended by the brand’s commitment to restoring and repairing its products instead of sending them a landfill.

Its sturdy construction and substantial cap-toe shape make the Park Avenue a favorite of business leaders, US presidents, and cultural icons all around the world. If there is one shoe every man should have in his closet, it’s the Park Avenue.
We speak from personal experience; the Park Avenue is simply gorgeous. They arrive in luxurious, premium packaging that’s representative of the level of craftsmanship you’ve come to expect from Allen Edmonds. Unboxing the shoes feels like opening your most anticipated gift on Christmas morning. We felt as much joy and excitement in opening them as we experienced when we wore them for the first time.
If there is one shoe every man should have in his closet, it’s the Park Avenue.
Handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin, these shoes look and feel like the epitome of luxury. The leather lined interior is so soft and sturdy, and it’s immediately obvious that the CustomCork™ insoles will form to fit your feet perfectly after a short amount of wear. These shoes are incredibly impressive, both visually and from a comfort perspective.
The single layer of vegetable-tanned leather used to build the soles gives the Park Avenue cap-toe oxford a sleek, low profile, and we can imagine wearing these with quite literally any outfit. After taking these for a spin, it’s not hard to see why the Park Avenue is Allen Edmond’s best-selling style. You can wear them all day, and all night, to any venue.
