Allen Edmonds (really... are they good shoes?)

[Lgrant]

Why didn't you just look to other brands by then? I can imagine getting the same or better quality for less than you paid for the shoes and the resole.

Because I haven’t found another pair of spectator shoes that look as good. Each manufacturer has slightly different styles of brogue-ing, and very subtle changes can make a shoe look ugly (at least in my eyes). I couldn’t find other shoes in the AE price range that looked as good to me.
