Hypersomniac Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I was in Minneapolis this past weekend and found out I have something in common with Di. Spending my cigar money on shoes! I bought a pair of Allen Edmonds LaSalle, and I think they are pretty dang comfy. I'm also pretty sure I learned more about my feet while at that store than I did when I went to a podiatrist. http://www.allenedmonds.com/aeonline/producti_SF4308_1_40000000001_-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GernBlansten Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hyper, if you ever make it down to Milwaukee, take a drive just North to Port Washington. There is an Allen Edmonds "Shoe Bank" (outlet). It's glorious. Check it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnMWC Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Surprised you didn't leave here with a pair of moon boots with all of the snow we had this weekend. Di is definitely on to something's with buying good shoes... but one must consider the climate in which you live. Loving my Red Wings! Bring on the slush! Or snow...

Very nice, but probably not as large as the Shoe Bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangedog Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 nice pick up. benefit of allen edmonds is their longevity. I've had a couple pairs for about 7-8 years now, and they still wear great. periodic repair is a great thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nice pair of kicks, Hyper! I'm a Florsheim guy as well, ever since I bought my first pair of dress shoes 20+ yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habanos2000 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'm an Ecco man myself. They just last forever and the older they get, the more comfy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Nice shoes. I used to be a daily suit and tie man but never found Allen edmonds to be for me. Also I was too tough on my shoes to spend that kinda dough. Very nice style though! --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=20.631753,-87.070686 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theholmesmob Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 In my book there is only RM Williams boots. A pair in brown and a pair in black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanbellc Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Best shoes ever. One of the best things about them is when you wear them out, send them back to AE and they'll recraft them to look like new again! Like getting a new pair for less than $100.

Lotusguy Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 For dress shoes, I swear by my Church's - even though they rival my wife's Louboutin's in cost I still have a pair from 1995 that looks like new! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
