Superior, handcrafted, leather shoes sound like something you'd find in an Italian market, but Allen Edmonds offers this kind of quality dress shoe, made in the USA. Fine fashion is not always imported. We're thrilled to be able to give away a pair of American made men's shoes to one of our readers.
Made in USA shoes are one of the most sought after categories of products on USA Love List. Don't miss our Ultimate Shoe Source Guide, our guide to men's shoes, our list of sandals and flip flops, and we even have a guide to boots made in the USA.
Allen Edmonds aims to offer more than fashion and high quality materials. In their words, “It is about conveying a classic look while retaining versatility and durability.” This is evident when you look through their designs; these are timeless Made in USA shoes for men. Note: Not all Allen Edmonds shoes are American made, but those that are can be found here.
Fun fact – Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush ALL chose to wear the Park Avenue shoe to their inaugurations.
COMFORT & CRAFTSMANSHIP
Their manufacturing process has 212 steps. They have done it in the same fashion since 1922. Skilled workers have hands-on involvement in the crafting of the actual shoe: cutting, stitching, and sewing.
The leather used is meticulously selected to be of the highest quality. In doing so, they are able to use thinner leather which makes the shoe more breathable, holds its shape, and ages gracefully. The shoes are cushioned with a layer of cork between the in sole and out sole. This allows your foot to form to the shoe and absorb the wear.
DURABILITY
These shoes are made to last decades and in doing so they have made it possible for your shoes to be restored to near new condition by their recrafting service if you see fit. Many shoes today are made in a way that repair is impossible and they must be thrown away. These are American made men's shoes, built to last.
FIT, ONLINE ORDERING, & RETURNS
They have extensive sizing options, over 100! The right fit is critical to their customer service standards. In stores, you will be professionally fitted. If you can't get to a store and choose to order online, they do offer free shipping and returns.
