I need to wear dress shoes to work. Based on advice from Reddit’s male fashion advice I bought two pairs of Allen Edmond shoes. The Strand and the Park Avenue. They have been awesome. I had them for 7 and 6 years respectively. Between the two pairs of shoes, I’ve had five resoles. This is a way better method then continually buying cheap shoes which I was doing before.

The time has come to finally replace my shoes. The uppers is on both pairs are quite damaged. I’ve been hearing Alan Edmond’s is not what they used to be. I don’t mind paying for quality but I want to make sure that it’s cost effective. I don’t really have any idea what other brands to look at.

Is it true that Alan Edmond’s is no longer worth the money? If so, what other comparable brands should I look into?

    I’d check out Parkhurst. They get good reviews and I was impressed with what I saw when I stopped in. Haven’t bought any, they’re not my style.
