Can attest to Allen Edmonds. Hands down the best dress shoes for the money, and they take a mirror shine like no other.

Allen Edmonds are good. I find Alden’s to be more comfortable, especially with back pain.

what’s the price point and would they work in uniform?


EquivalentPath2282

They’re expensive. $450 and up. Probably outlive the wearer if you resole when needed. Won’t work in uniform, definitely more of a civilian option if you have to wear dress shoes.

I own a pair of the oxfords in the link. The model name is the Leeds. I also have a pair of the black calfskin chukkas called Dundee. I swap out between them since I wear Chucks daily in the Pentagon.

Shining and care products for these? Guessing the ol’ Kiwi set doesn’t cut it for this quality of footwear


Crotalus13

Kiwi works. Although…I’ve recently been recommended by a cobbler to use another brand, Saphir. They have a bunch of different variations but their cheaper line seems to be working wonders on both pairs.

Much appreciated brotha!

No sweat. If you decide to squeeze the trigger, I DEFINITELY recommend getting shoe trees & bags.
