FALL 2010
Dear Allen Edmonds Community,
Paul D. Grangaard President & CEO
Shown on cover: Main image – Cambridge; Bottom row, left to right – Parliament*, San Marco and Catskill *Part of the new Dress Orthotics Collection on pages 17-18
Since taking on this role in August 2008, I’ve been continually struck by the remarkable relationships between Allen Edmonds Men and this company. Letters and emails arrive weekly, relating men’s connections with our products and our people. In the past year, some have thanked us for bringing back “the Allen Edmonds I remember” – not just in reintroducing the Timeless Classics shoe styles, but also in our exhibited re-commitment to the highest quality, to superior longlasting value and to a broader selection of Allen Edmonds products that meet their more varied needs in today’s menswear world. Our Recrafting® service is especially appreciated, which is evident in the 60,000 pairs of shoes we’ll Recraft this year. It is indeed energizing for our entire team to have such personal relationships with our customers and supporters. In honor of each of them (and the many they represent), we’ve added a new feature to this catalog by highlighting some individual Allen Edmonds Men. There’s something particularly special about a pair of shoes when Bob Moore thinks of them as he sinks waist deep in the Hudson River on the wing of that U.S. Airways plane, or when the shoelaces Dr. John Saran used to tie the umbilical cord of the newborn he delivered mid-air aren’t just shoelaces, they’re “my Allen Edmonds shoelaces.” A trek from the Grand Canyon rim all the way down to the Colorado River is a significant enough achievement, but Michael Beauchamp doing it in a pair of Allen Edmonds dress shoes and then writing to tell us how well our shoes performed both on the hike and at the celebratory dinner afterward is pretty amazing. Many emails begin with, “My dad introduced me to Allen Edmonds in college and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since…” Being a part of father-son legacies is a responsibility we take extremely seriously. Another new feature of this catalog is some portfolio management advice for the class-act Allen Edmonds Man, both in terms of shoe wardrobe selection and in what to wear with those shoes. For some 25 years, U.S. men’s fashions chased Euro looks and “business casual” often meant, well, disposable shoes of questionable materials. Trends have now returned decisively to better leather and construction, regardless of the dress code, and especially to great American styling. Mark McNeill, our Director of Merchandising, spent over 20 years buying high quality suits, blazers, trousers and business-casual clothing for a leading department store chain, and he really knows how to pair great shoes with smart clothes. It’s his recommendations that you see in these pages. Several of our versatile new shoe styles bear Mark’s influence, most obviously the new San Marco. It’s good to work with pros. While we’re proud that U.S. Presidents, Prime Ministers (I recently received a nice letter from Canada’s Stephen Harper) and other dignitaries wear our shoes, it’s the Allen Edmonds Men who work, lead, commit, dedicate, set examples and give back in countless ways who inspire us daily. Our website now offers the ability for you to share your own Allen Edmonds story – serious or humorous – with the Allen Edmonds Community. Please join the dialogue at www.allenedmondsforums.com. Thanks very much for your support. Best wishes,
Paul D. Grangaard President & CEO Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation

CL A SSIC COLLECTION Characterized by his ability to lead in and out of the office, the Allen Edmonds Man commands the same level of style and quality in his shoes. The Allen Edmonds Classic Collection provides the shoes he needs for his daily professional wardrobe. The new fall collection ushers in the Sagamore, a 270° welted bicycle toe style; the Vernon, also a 270° welted lace-up with cap-toe perfing detail; and the Shelton, our popular spectator available in two new colors.
Dr. John Saran Dr. John Saran was on a flight to Salt Lake City, looking forward to a relaxing weekend getaway with his wife, when a voice came over the plane’s PA system asking if there was a doctor on board. A few rows ahead, a woman had gone into labor. Dr. Saran had not delivered a baby since his days in medical school – a few decades earlier. Nonetheless, he sprang into action and, with the assistance of flight attendants and nurses who happened to be on board, delivered a healthy baby boy in the galley area midflight, tying off the umbilical cord with his Allen Edmonds shoelaces. Weeks later, Dr. Saran was honored for his actions at his practice by his patients and colleagues. Allen Edmonds Chief Marketing Officer Colin Hall made a surprise visit to the podium to present Dr. Saran with a new pair of shoes, a matching belt, and customized cedar shoe trees engraved with the words “Special Delivery for AE Man Dr. John Saran.” Listen to more of this genuine AE Man’s story at www.allenedmondsforums.com.

FEATURES The shoes in the Allen Edmonds Classic Collection are born of American style and have been made in the USA since 1922 using the finest quality leathers. The collection consists of both lace-up and slip-on dress shoes made with all-natural materials for increased breathability. For 88 years, these shoes have appealed to men of all walks of life, including U.S. presidents, popes, business executives and celebrities. At Allen Edmonds, we’re committed to delivering superior fit and comfort. Because we manufacture our shoes at our company-owned facilities, we can offer them in a broad range of lengths and widths. Many professional athletes wear our shoes because we can accommodate their uniquely large shoe sizes. See our size charts on page 28. Our Timeless Classics Collection is featured on pages 9 and 10. We reintroduced these historically best-selling styles in early 2009 as a result of numerous requests from our customers. We have had so many orders for these styles that we added them to the Classic Collection.

CONSTRUCTION The shoes in the Allen Edmonds Classic Collection* have been constructed by hand using the company’s famous 212-step 360° Goodyear welt construction process. In 2010, Allen Edmonds is offering a 270° welt construction process that allows for a sleek, narrower heel and is also fully Recraftable. There are many types and qualities of leather available, but we proudly source only the finest quality leathers. Allen Edmonds calfskin leather has tighter pores than most competitive leathers. Thus, the shoes hold a shine better, are more durable and resist wrinkling. The heated cork layer under the insole forms to your foot over time, providing a custom, orthotic-like fit. The more you wear your Allen Edmonds shoes, the better they form to your feet. We call this “custom cork comfort.” Allen Edmonds is the largest cobbler in the world, and we perform all Recrafting® services in our Port Washington, Wisconsin facility where many of our Classic shoes were first handcrafted. We perform Recrafting on almost 60,000 pairs of shoes each year. To learn more about Recrafting Allen Edmonds shoes, visit www.allenedmonds. com/recrafting, where you can also see a video of our services. *Some classic shoes, such as loafers, use a handsewn construction technique outlined in the Casual section.

MAN Bob Moore About a minute or so into Bob Moore’s flight home from a business trip in New York, he heard a loud bang come from one side of the plane. The plane began to shake, then all the mechanics shut down, creating an eerie silence. Suddenly he hears the pilot’s voice over the PA, “Brace for impact,” then the flight attendants began to chant, “Bend and brace. Bend and brace.” Even though he was preparing for the worst, a calm came over him as he prayed for himself, his wife, children and grandchildren.
Immediately, the plane’s doors were opened and water began to seep down the aisle of the plane. By the time he got to the wing, the water was up to the top of his favorite pair of Allen Edmonds shoes. By the time the ferry arrived, he was up to his waist in the frigid Hudson River.
After the impact, Mr. Moore looked around and realized he had survived without much more than a few scratches and bruises.
Listen to this AE Man’s remarkable story at www.allenedmondsforums.com.

Mr. Moore was able to return home to his family the following day, and he still has the pair of waterlogged Allen Edmonds shoes he wore on that miraculous U.S. Airways flight.

TIMELESS CLASSICS COLLECTION During the early part of last year, we sat down and reread our consumer mail. We also read articles, “Tweets,” Facebook postings and fashion blogs (welcome to the digital age!). We noticed our loyal customers had one recurring question…why can’t we bring back some of their favorite styles? So, in early 2009 we re-introduced several of our historically best-selling shoes based on countless requests from customers, and the response has been overwhelming! These shoes have
tapped into a global movement toward classic American styling. We are proud to continue offering the Timeless Classics Collection. Newly reintroduced for this fall is the Walton, an Algonquin split-toe blucher with a double oak leather sole available in smooth calf and grain calf. Please keep your recommendations and ideas coming. We appreciate hearing from you – digitally or via mail.

ITALIAN COLLECTION Allen Edmonds has been making great American shoes since 1922 in Port Washington, Wisconsin. As our business grew, we were asked long ago to supply classic Italian-made shoes to many Italian clothiers in the United States, which is why we offer a line of handcrafted Italian slip-ons
for the Allen Edmonds Man with European flair. We continue this great tradition and are proud to present our Italian styles for the man who wants a classic Italian slip-on and appreciates great value. Classic Italian details and sleek silhouttes define this collection of shoes.

270˚ WELTS COLLECTION 270° welted construction reveals a more tapered heel for a sleek look compared to the heel of a traditional 360° welt. A PORON™-padded heel provides instant, out-of-the-box comfort, and a heated cork layer in the forepart offers a custom, orthoticlike fit. Finally, we don’t use a metal shank in our shoes, which enhances the flexibility, allowing for natural movement while walking. And just

like our 360° shoes, the shoes in our 270° welt collection are fully Recraftable. New for fall is the Sagamore, a classic blucher bicycle toe; the Juneau, a traditional suede penny loafer with a functional mini-lug rubber sole – perfect for the fall and winter seasons; and the Vernon, a balmoral with a perfed cap toe for a sleek and contemporary look.

CORDOVAN COLLECTION Many people mistake cordovan as a color, but it is actually a rare kind of leather. Our cordovan leather is sourced from Horween, a Chicagobased tannery, and is one of the last remaining – and arguably one of the finest – cordovan tanneries in the world. Cordovan is especially popular throughout Europe where men don a pair of cordovan shoes, not just for work, but also as their Sunday best “church shoes.”

DRESS ORTHOTICS COLLECTION Enjoy the comfort of orthotics without sacrificing style. The new Allen Edmonds Dress Orthotics Collection has removable footbeds to accommodate your own orthotics for custom comfort and a custom fit. The Parliament, Benton and Larkin are new classic styles, joining the Ashton as part of the Dress Orthotics Collection for fall.
MAN Dr. Thomas Czarnecki
Dr. Thomas Czarnecki, a podiatrist, first learned about Allen Edmonds from one of his patients when he was having frustrations with another brand. He visited the Port Washington Allen Edmonds location and went home with a new pair of custom-fit shoes. He’s been a fan ever since…in fact, he currently owns 25 pairs of AE shoes! Dr. Czarnecki recommends Allen Edmonds to many of his patients for a variety of reasons. In addition to their unmatched quality and durability, AE shoes are available in many lengths, widths and styles. They are also great for accommodating orthotics, which Dr. Czarnecki often prescribes. He has yet to find a patient who hasn’t loved his new shoes. Learn more about this AE Man’s at www.allenedmondsforums.com.

FEATURES
The Allen Edmonds Dress Orthotics Collection, new for fall, combines the very best features of our classic shoes with convenient removable footbeds, which allow you to insert your own custom orthotics for a custom fit. And even if you don’t have custom orthotics, the footbeds add a layer of comfort for all-day wear. The Parliament is a dress cap-toe balmoral with perfing detail and a dress rubber sole that resembles leather. The Benton is a classic cap-toe blucher with a rubber sole for functionality. The Larkin is a penny loafer slipon, also designed with a dress rubber sole for all weather conditions. It is constructed using a 270° welt for a narrower heel. The Ashton, a long-time customer favorite from our Casual Collection, also features removable footbeds to accommodate orthotics. For a more casual alternative, see the Bozeman on page 31, a slip-on with removable footbeds and a rubber sole.
CONSTRUCTION
Our shoes in the Dress Orthotics Collection are manufactured using the same construction processes as our other shoes. The Parliament, Ashton and Benton are 360° Goodyear welted styles and the Larkin is a 270° welted style. All four shoes can go through the Recrafting process. All of the styles in the Dress Orthotics Collection use the same premium leathers and materials that are used in all Allen Edmonds shoes, regardless of their construction.

EXECUTIVE COLLECTION A man on the move needs the right shoe to get him where he needs to go. The Allen Edmonds Executive Collection, featuring a dress rubber sole, heated cork layer and PORON™-padded heel, lets him travel in comfort and style.
Ben Steinberg Ben Steinberg, an independent consultant, lived in Mwanza and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for two years, from 2001 to 2003. The roads and pathways varied from wet and muddy to dry and dusty depending on the season. Between the road conditions and the high temperatures and humidity, every single pair of shoes Mr. Steinberg brought for his stay became moldy and fell apart – except his Allen Edmonds shoes, which he still wears to this day. Mr. Steinberg’s experience in Tanzania proved Allen Edmonds superiority in quality, and he has been a loyal AE Man ever since. Learn more about Mr. Steinberg’s experience at www.allenedmondsforums.com.

FEATURES First introduced in fall 2009, the Executive Collection has proven to appeal to a broad range of men who want sleek styling and practical functionality in the same shoe. The 270° Goodyear welted shoe has a heel-to-heel welt, which allows the heel to be much narrower than a 360° welted shoe. This offers a more modern look with its sleeker silhouette. Our customers told us that they wanted a dress shoe with a rubber bottom that didn’t look like a rubber bottom. That’s why this collection incorporates a very sleek, black rubber sole that looks similar to a leather sole. Compare the profile of an Executive shoe to any other leather-soled shoe and you will see it looks like leather. This is the perfect shoe for men who want a slipresistant dress shoe for wet weather, winter commutes or those who simply prefer rubber soles. Because we manufacture our own shoes, we can offer them in a broad range of lengths and widths.
A dress rubber sole is ideal for all weather conditions.

CONSTRUCTION At Allen Edmonds, we’re proud to source only the finest quality leathers. This calfskin leather has tighter pores than most competitive leathers, resulting in shoes that hold a shine better, are more durable and resist wrinkling. The shoe incorporates a rubber sole that is incredibly slip-resistant and adds comfort and sleeker styling. Like our 360° welts, the 270° welted shoes in the Executive Collection are constructed with a heated cork layer under the forepart for a custom, orthotic-like fit. In addition, the shoes in the Executive Collection have a Poron™-padded insole for instant, out-ofthe-box comfort. There is no metal shank in our Executive shoes. This makes them more comfortable and airport travel-friendly. Because the Executive shoes are welted, they can go through the Allen Edmonds Recrafting process. Allen Edmonds is the largest cobbler in the world. We perform Recrafting services on almost 60,000 pairs of shoes in our Port Washington, Wisconsin facility each year. To learn more about Recrafting Allen Edmonds shoes, visit www.allenedmonds.com/recrafting, where you can also watch a video that showcases our services. 20

C A SUAL COLLECTION Even an Allen Edmonds Man has some downtime. He enjoys it in leisurely comfort with shoes from the Allen Edmonds Casual Collection. Rubber soles, casual leathers and comfort features abound in this versatile collection.
Dean Germeyer Dean Germeyer was already in his seat when an elderly woman named Elsie boarded the plane and sat down next to him. She looked very tired, as though she had had a difficult day. After settling in, Elsie commented on how shiny Mr. Germeyer’s Allen Edmonds shoes were. Soon, the two were deep in conversation and Elsie explained her day’s hardships. She had been visiting one of her daughters, and due to an airport attendant wheeling her to the wrong gate, had missed her flight home to Winnipeg. She had been stranded in a wheelchair at the airport the entire day, and now feared she would miss her connecting flight out of Chicago due to weather delays. In genuine AE Man style, Mr. Germeyer offered to wheel Elsie to her connecting flight’s gate, but unfortunately they arrived just minutes after the plane had departed. The airline would not provide Elsie with a hotel, so Mr. Germeyer invited Elsie to have dinner with him and his wife at their home. Elsie had never seen the city of Chicago or been in a high rise before, so it was a memorable experience for her. After dinner, Mr. Germeyer put Elsie up in a nearby hotel and arranged for a town car to pick her up and take her to the airport the next day. Elsie arrived home safe and sound, without a hitch.

FEATURES Allen Edmonds handsewns are truly sewn by hand. Skilled artisans sew the vamp to the upper and the kicker by hand, ensuring the two pieces of leather are aligned and sewn correctly to create the perfect fit. This process takes more time and requires more effort, but it’s the right way to make a handsewn shoe, so that’s how we do it at Allen Edmonds. The Allen Edmonds Casual Collection offers a broad range of styles to fit every lifestyle. For those who prefer our classic dress shoes, our Casual shoes are perfect for weekend wear. For customers with a more casual lifestyle, the Casual Collection works every day of the week. Plus the slip-on styles make traveling through airport security that much easier. Several different lasts are used in the collection to give our shoes distinctive shapes and silhouettes for varying looks. And like our Classic Collection, they are available in a broad range of sizes. The Casual Collection also incorporates all-weather rubber soles for added comfort and durability. New casual lace-ups for fall are the San Marco, a pebble grain lace-up with a sleek rubber sole, the Memphis, a rugged lace-up with a shockabsorbing Othello rubber sole, and The Links, a two-tone grain leather lace-up perfect for hitting a few balls on the range with dinner at the clubhouse to follow. Two new casual slipons are the Winnetka which features rugged leather and a rubber sole and the Westbrook, a classic boat shoe.

CONSTRUCTION The handsewns featured in the Casual Collection use a tubular moc construction. This technique allows the lower leather to be pulled up around the last and stitched to the upper leather, resulting in an extremely comfortable and flexible shoe. As with other Allen Edmonds shoes, we proudly source only the finest quality leathers. The Allen Edmonds calfskin leather used in this collection has tighter pores than most competitive leathers, resulting in shoes that hold a shine better, are more durable and resist wrinkling. The Casual Collection offers a range of durable rubber soles for added comfort and longer-lasting wear in all weather conditions. Available soles are listed next to each shoe and can be viewed on page 53 and 54 of the catalog. Allen Edmonds is the largest cobbler in the world. We perform Recrafting services on almost 60,000 pairs of shoes each year in our Port Washington, Wisconsin facility. To learn more about Recrafting Allen Edmonds shoes, visit www.allenedmonds.com/ recrafting, where you can also see a video of our services. Due to the construction methods used, some of our handsewn shoes are not Recraftable. 24

PHASE I
Establishing Your Quality Standards
You know the adage “Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” It is important to establish your standards of quality early in your career. To achieve this, start with two pairs of classic business shoes, black and brown lace-ups with leather soles for the office. Then add a stylish pair of black loafers that transition from the office to a night out. And complete your wardrobe with a pair of casual yet sophisticated shoes or boots to wear on the weekends.
PHASE II
Developing Your Image
As you progress in your career, your shoe collection should expand with your wardrobe. In addition to classic business shoes, you should add styles to match your tastes, like a black monk strap, to further develop your personal and professional image. For weekends, consider versatile casual styles that take you from the office to the weekend.
PHASE III
Seasoned Professional
You’ve reached the pinnacle of your career and are now a seasoned professional. You have built your clothing wardrobe to complement all the different roles you play, which should also include a more comprehensive shoe wardrobe. At this point in your career, you are setting the tone in the office and can be a bit more adventurous by adding styles like a suede loafer, two-tone spectator, driving moc and other casual styles.

MAN
CATSKILL in chocolate suede with brown leather trim Tim McGuire
Tim McGuire just recently became an AE Man. Last summer he needed to find an attractive, comfortable pair of dress shoes to wear with his tux for his daughter’s wedding. On a friend’s recommendation, he bought his first pair of Allen Edmonds shoes.
Last year, we introduced ae by Allen Edmonds to bring a collection of shoes into our line at a more accessible price point. The Crosstown Collection and Weekend Collection were well-received by customers who wanted Allen Edmonds quality at an affordable price. For fall, we’ve added a number of new styles to the Weekend Collection to expand your fall wardrobe.
29
Although he normally wears inserts for extra arch support in his shoes, he didn’t use inserts in his Allen Edmonds shoes the day of the wedding. He was on his feet for nearly 12 hours straight between father-of-the-bride duties, photos, visiting with friends and family and, later on, dancing the night away. In spite of this, he woke up the next morning feeling great – none of the back pain he usually dealt with after a long day on his feet. As all AE Men know, a great pair of shoes makes all the difference. Hear more of Mr. McGuire’s story at www.allenedmondsforums.com.
CROSSTOWN COLLECTION The ae by Allen Edmonds Crosstown Collection is all about versatility. A concept fully understood and appreciated by the Allen Edmonds Man. Each shoe is appropriately

BOOT COLLECTION Every Allen Edmonds Man should have a pair of boots in his wardrobe this fall. Whether you prefer a boot that’s a little dressier, such as the Malvern or Bayfield, or a boot that’s a little more rugged, such as the Cascade, the Allen Edmonds Boot Collection offers a range of styles to fit all tastes.
Michael Beauchamp Michael Beauchamp took a hiking trip at the Grand Canyon with nine members of his extended family over New Year’s. Other family members prepared with new boots, hiking shoes and crampons, but to their amusement, Mr. Beauchamp was determined to wear the most comfortable shoes he owned – his rubber-soled pair of Allen Edmonds. In total, the group hiked sixteen miles, trudging through mud, snow-covered terrain, and even crossing over creeks. Four hikers in the group took spills along the way, but Mr. Beauchamp wasn’t one of them. He saw many people tending to blistered feet at the halfway point, but his feet had never felt better. His Allen Edmonds shoes felt comfortable and provided great support. After climbing out of the canyon, Mr. Beauchamp’s party made reservations at the El Tovar Lodge Dining Room to celebrate. His shoes looked nice enough to wear out for dinner after a quick cleanup with a damp cloth, and they looked brand new again after a shoeshine at the Phoenix airport. Mr. Beauchamp’s story, along with similar stories from many other AE Men, helped inspire our boot collection, with both polished and more rugged styles to choose from. See this AE Man’s original letter at www.allenedmondsforums.com.

FEATURES
Allen Edmonds boots are made using the same high-quality materials and attention to detail that go into all of our shoes, and their classic appeal ensures they won’t go out of style as trends change. The Bayfield, a nod to our popular boot offered in the 1990s, is a seven-eyelet cap-toe blucher boot with a mini-lug rubber sole for ideal wear in all weather conditions. The Malvern is a classic chukka boot with three eyelets and a rubber sole. Available in Brown Burnished Calf, Brown Grain Calf and Brogue Suede, the Malvern is the quintessential boot to complete your fall wardrobe. And finally, the Cascade is a rugged casual five-eyelet boot with a moc toe seam, contrasting leather trim and a rubber sole. And the Ashbury is a Chelsea boot with modern distressed leather, double side gore and a rubber sole.
CONSTRUCTION
The four boots featured in our Boot Collection are made using our traditional welted construction process. With over 200 steps in the production process, not a detail is missed or a stitch overlooked. All of our boots are constructed using our 360° welt process which leads to boots that are durable and can be put through our exclusive Recrafting process when they show signs of wear.

BELT BASICS The Allen Edmonds belt collection contains genuine leather belts that are hand-finished to color-match Allen Edmonds shoes Allen Edmonds offers a wide range of belts from dress to casual that provides all the options customers need for their wardrobes. Belts are available in several standard sizes and in special order sizes to fit virtually all waists.
Montgomery with Fraser Reversible Belt
PICK THE RIGHT BELT We receive many customer questions about belt fashion, so we thought we’d offer our expertise. To maintain a professional appearance, men should always wear a genuine leather belt to the office. Every man should have at least two belts in his collection: a basic black leather belt and a basic brown leather belt. A black belt should be worn with black shoes and a brown belt paired with brown shoes. Under no circumstances should a brown belt
San Marco with Pebble Grain Belt
be paired with black shoes, or vice versa. To look even more fashionable, belt colors and patterns should coordinate with shoe colors and patterns. To determine belt size, simply go up one or two sizes from the waist size of your pants. The tail of the belt should easily pass through the first belt loop on your pants, but it should not extend too far past the belt loop.

“As the General Manager of a classic private golf club, I try to set an example of professionalism. Our members really appreciate the club as a place to relax, socialize and entertain guests. That’s why in 2009 I requested custom cedar shoe trees for our locker rooms. We put our club logo on the cedar shoe trees and had the member’s name and locker number engraved on the trees. Not only is this a very professional look, but the locker room attendants appreciated that they could easily match the golf shoes to the member. I have to admit, the cedar shoe trees provided a terrific fragrance as well. In 2010 I went a step further and had my key coworkers travel to the Allen Edmonds factory to get fitted for dress shoes. Our folks are on their feet most of the day and I want them look great and feel great. I am very appreciative of the Allen Edmonds Master shoe fitting service and cedar innovation they developed for us.” Chuck Scupham 2010 National Country Club Manager of the Year

SERVICES “Allen Edmonds is a great company. I have owned their shoes for years. I was particularly impressed by my most recent Recrafting experience and the way they incorporated ‘new marketing technology’. When the shoes were mailed, the form was not included, but our home phone number was. They called and captured all the information they needed. Also appreciated their email updates on the completion status and loved the final touch - at the time they mailed my shoes they emailed me a picture of my ‘newly’ Recrafted shoes. Talk about a firstclass company!” – M. M.

“I am periodically stunned at the conduct of an American company like Allen Edmonds, its product and its service after purchase. I have never been disappointed.” -A. H. “I just wanted to say thank you! I have to tell you, the shoes have been done beautifully and feel great to wear. I can’t wait ‘til all my other Allen Edmonds’ wear out and need repairing. Please pass on this message to the good people who do this work.” -A. S.
RECRAFTING
速
Allen Edmonds shoes are so well-made that we can actually return them to their original glory with our exclusive Recrafting process. Recrafting is far more than simple shoe repair. Using the original manufacturing process, we literally rebuild worn footwear from the bottom up. With five packages to choose from, Recrafting is the perfect way to give new life to old shoes.
Prestige Package Our Prestige Package is a complete restoration. We begin by replacing soles, heels, welting, cork footbeds and laces. Next, we completely refinish the uppers, hand-polishing the leather to a vibrant glow. Finally, we add aromatic cedar shoe trees, place shoes in protective shoe bags and include a Premium Polish. The results are nothing short of remarkable. 757 Prestige Package
Standard Package Standard Recrafting is identical to our Prestige Package. Shoes are completely refurbished and the results are equally impressive. Here we simply omit the cedar shoe trees, flannel shoe bags and Premium Polish. 752 Standard Package
Refinishing With Refinishing, we demonstrate the enduring quality of Allen Edmonds leather in our ability to reinstate its former brilliance. Built-up layers of wax, polish and dye are stripped away. The original color is restored and protective finishes are applied. Finally, we wax and polish shoes to a high shine. 751 Refinishing (New soles are not included.) 758 Casual Comfort Collection速 Refinishing Package (Includes new removable footbeds. New soles are not included.)
New Heels Even in our most basic Recrafting process, minute details matter. After removing worn heels, we replace them with new leather heel bases and Allen Edmonds rubber top lifts.* Next, we trim the heels, and ink and burnish the edges before returning the shoes with this small, but significant, improvement. 750 New Heels (New soles are not included.) *This process is not available for full rubber sole/heel shoes.
New Heels + Refinishing Package NEW The New Heels + Refinishing Package combines two of our most popular Recrafting services. Worn heels will be replaced with new leather heel bases and rubber top lifts.* Then, we put your shoes through our extensive Refinishing process to remove built-up layers of wax and polish and restore the original color to your shoes. Finally, we wax and polish your shoes to a high shine. 761 New Heels + Refinishing Package *This process is not available for full rubber sole/heel shoes.
See a demonstration video of Allen Edmonds Recrafting at www.allenedmonds.com/recrafting. Prior work on Allen Edmonds shoes by other cobblers may prevent us from Recrafting a pair of shoes. Due to special construction methods, our Italian slip-ons, driving moccasins, Casual Comfort Collection速, Crosstown Collection and some handsewn and woven styles cannot be Recrafted. Obsolete Vibram速 or rubber soles will be replaced with current soles. To properly preserve their unique materials, suede and nubuck shoes will be cleaned rather than refinished. Recrafting is a registered trademark of Allen Edmonds Shoe Corporation.

CUSTOMER SERVICE 180,000! That’s a big number, and it’s the average number of calls any one of our fantastic customer service representatives has fielded during their tenure to date. The customer service team is based in our Port Washington headquarters and they service wholesale account needs as well as consumer needs. They know every shoe style we have ever made, along with its sole, laces, last and color. When walking past their offices, it’s common to hear them chatting with customers they have served over the years. Sometimes they even ask about a customer’s children…by name! It takes a lot of work to build a great shoe, but quality is often just the “greens fee” to compete. Phenomenal customer service truly sets a brand apart from competitors. Please enjoy these excerpts from the many letters and emails we receive from satisfied customers. Please contact Customer Service with any questions or comments: (P) 1-800-235-2348 If calling from outside the United States, please call 1-262-235-6512.
“I am writing to express my gratitude and appreciation to Allen Edmonds for the recent service I received. I want to share with you how fantastic your people are! For my entire professional career, I have been a loyal owner of Allen Edmonds dress shoes. I recently wanted to replace my favorite shoes (Halsted in black), but they had been discontinued. I called customer service with little hope, but the representative told me that, in fact, a replacement shoe could be made. To my complete surprise, my new shoes arrived two weeks later. I may not be your best customer in terms of the number of pairs I own, but I can assure you that I am your most satisfied customer! I have told this story a hundred times and will share it for many years to come. In my position, our informal motto is ‘it’s all about the people.’ My experience with Allen Edmonds will make its way into our customer service training program. As President and CEO, you should know that your people are fantastic.” – R. J.
“I have dealt extensively with your customer service department, mostly dealing with one particular representative, for nearly a year now. On each occasion, she has been extremely professional and has gone above and beyond to satisfy my customers. It is a welcome pleasure to deal with someone so dedicated to her job, especially in today’s retail environment. Congratulations on setting your customer service standards at such a high level.” – K. W.
“I just wanted to write and let you know how extremely happy I am with your attention regarding my shoe issue. I have been a loyal AE customer for 10-15 years and will be a customer for life as I have NEVER received better customer service than I experienced with you folks. You are truly an understanding and efficient organization.” – P. C.
“Thanks again for your excellent customer service and for resolving my situation beyond my wildest expectations. I am using your customer service model as an example of how my team should respond to requests, inquiries and issues they may have with our own products.” – T. T.
“I would be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the exceptional professional service I received. Being in the technology world for 30 years, I’ve had the opportunity to purchase shoes from many shoemakers and work with many customer service representatives. Your folks demonstrated a level of service that one usually only hears about in marketing campaigns. Every shoe manufacturer and retail store says their service is unequaled and that customers’ expectations will be exceeded. We all know this is rarely true, but Allen Edmonds can be proud that its representatives have proven that unequaled excellence in customer service can be achieved. I would highly recommend Allen Edmonds to my business associates, friends and anyone looking for a quality company and exceptional customer service.” – G. O.
“I am writing to let you know about the extraordinary level of customer service I recently received at Allen Edmonds. I’ve been an AE customer for 20 years, and while the service at AE is typically well above average, my most recent interaction was exceptional. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you how tough things are out there in the land of retail, and having such high quality people working for you is a major plus for your company – especially in a world with plenty of other choices for shoes. Your customer service makes paying for your product seem like a great value – because you’re getting more than just a pair of shoes.” – D. L. 48

“Sherman Brothers has been a Philadelphiabased account for Allen Edmonds for a very long time. Over the years we have enjoyed a close relationship with the company. We use their extranet system to check on inventory levels and customers’ orders. We can track our needs through their systems right down to the time the shoe is being made. I have found Allen Edmonds to be very unique in that they listen to our needs and often make modifications to their systems based on feedback we provide. It’s so rare in today’s world to have a manufacturer listen and actually change their processes to wholesale customers’ needs. Last summer my brother Kenneth and I traveled to Port Washington to visit Allen Edmonds. It was such a treat to see shoes being made in the U.S.A. and to meet many of the good people who respond to our requests. I have owned Allen Edmonds for a long time and I enjoy selling them as I know they stand behind their product and respond to our needs.” Jeffrey Sherman Sherman Brothers

SUPPORT / LASTS Part of what makes Allen Edmonds footwear so unique is the wide variety of lasts we use to build our shoes. By selecting shoes manufactured on the last that most resembles the foot’s contours, customers can achieve a superior fit. Watch a video of the fitting process on the media page of www.allenedmonds.com to learn how an Allen Edmonds Master Fitter can help you get a perfect fit.
Goodyear Welted Styles There are ten different lasts used to manufacture our current welted footwear, or those styles designated by a four-digit number. The last number is the same as the style’s final digit.
8 Last Modeled after the 4 last, but with more depth to accommodate the removable orthotic. (Ashton and Benton only)
0 Last (000) A more pronounced cone and elongated forepart with a subtly clipped toe create a sleek silhouette.
234 Last Similar to the 7 last with a slightly more squared toe.
1 Last (511) Similar to the 7 last from heel to ball; more rounded, fuller fitting toe.
222 Last Elongated toe with a slightly higher instep. Very similar to the 108 last.
5 Last (65) Longest in length of our lasts; best for a long, narrow foot.
9 Last (79) Tapered back portion pushes the foot forward to fit low across the top of the foot rather than the instep.
8 Last (108) Elongated forepart with a tapered and flatter toe; similar to the 2 last.
7 Last (97) Best fit for the average foot; lays flatter in the toe area.
73 Last Wider across the ball of the foot with more room over the instep.
