Allen Edmonds to start exporting to China (shoes, not jobs!)

This is a nice development. I have a feeling they'll do well, USA brands carry a lot of cachet in China.

I hope this boosts sales! Good for AE!

Definitely a market for them. Clarks have been selling well in China for some years now - typically at two to three times the price they are in the UK. By the time you account for the difference in the average wage over there (much lower than the UK), they really are expensive shoes in China.
