Allen-Edmonds Shoe Bank

My (now) husband needed shoes for our wedding (⁹⁄₅) and he had been shopping Allen-​Edmonds (full-​priced) for awhile and found several pairs he liked.
I realize that Allen Edmonds shoes are AMAZING and they are well made, but I had a hard time choking down the $ 250 price tag on a pair of shoes that he would wear to our wedding and only on occasion since he is allowed to wear sneakers to work.
After looking at some Allen Edmonds full-​priced shoes, I asked him to look at similarly priced styles at different price points to see the difference.
Voila! An iMessage with pictures of very similar shoes from an Allen Edmonds Outlet.
Yes, that’s right, Allen-​Edmonds has an outlet and it’s called Allen-​Edmonds Shoe Bank. There is one in Brookfield and one in Port Washington. Neither is too far and both are open all day 7 days a week. I was pretty surprised by this!
On the website you can search for the shoes by location, so my husband did just that and then called the Shoe Bank to ask them to hold the shoes for a couple days until we could jet up to Port Washington.
When we arrived, there were a few other people there being assisted and my husband and I browsed around. They had shoes, clothes, leather goods, accessories, luggage, and more. When it was our turn, a nice woman grabbed the shoes from the hold area and helped my husband try them on. This pair didn’t fit and she advised us not to buy them since they weren’t a perfect match.
One of the things I wasn’t there for, but my husband told me about, was this shoe sizing machine. You step in and it takes a picture of your feet and creates a 3-​D model of them to ensure a close to perfect fit.
We ended up buying a different pair that were on sale and I’m sure we’ll be back towards winter to look some more. I wish that Allen Edmonds made women’s shoes too, but for men, the Shoe Bank is definitely worth checking out.

Never… and I mean never… have I fallin’ in love with shoes until I hit up Allen Edmonds last summer.
Seriously, every guy needs at least one pair of Allen Edmonds shoes in their assortment of hunting boots, grass cutters, high school pair that is still worn today, and flip flops. The best time to get a deal is during their annual tent sale. I went last year and had to go back the next day to pick up two additional pairs, a shore care kit, and wildly wicked colored shoe strings. They also have random clothing and other great things that would make great gifts. Oh, and really excellent golf shoes that would make you the talk of the fairway.
Yeah, their expensive, but they last F-​O-​R-​E-​V-​E-​R! Plus, you can have the bottoms replaced a few times to extend the life of the shoe. So, be sure to check their website for the dates of the next sale, or stop in to a store or showroom at the factory in Port Washington. You’ll be impressed by the way they look and feel.

Excellent shoes, made in the USA. Excellent customer service (helpful, but not at all pushy, even though they work on commission). We visit the store once a year and my husband comes home with a new pair every time.
AE, please start making women’s shoes!

These seriously are stellar shoes! When you come here it’s also about the experience of fitting & selection and most o all their quality is impeccable! These aren’t your dads Dexters.
