Allen Edmonds Factory Tour

[Ghoststar2009]

I ONLY wear Allen Edmonds, yes, there are some shoes that are more expensive, but why spend more when AE is the very finest? The richest guys on Wall Street wear AE, I ought to know I am an attorney in NYC and see those guys all the time. Allen Edmonds are the choice of Billionaires and hard working guys like me too..... The are extremely costly, but you can have them recrafted and they'll last a lifetime.

@Ghoststar2009 I think some might be better like Alden, Chaco, Edward Green, Crockett and Jones, John Lobb, Limmer, and more.

The best shoes possible. So comfortable and they last a lifetime.

I love my AE shoes. Its great that they are still made in the USA.

[davidcononie]

I love that they manufacture in usa, that is key, I wish people would buy high quality and less shit, it is cheaper to buy one pair of these and be happy as can be than three pairs of china shit that will not last as long, and you support our economy,

I also like how the admin guys refer to the shop workers as co-workers, this is great,

One of the best purchases I ever made.

A couple of years ago I bought a pair of calf skin AE shoes from an US retailer by for 120 Dollars (appr. 100 Euro). Really great luck.

Including charges for shipping to Germany, customs et cetera I have paid 160 Euro in total. The regular price here is about 250 Euro at least.

By the way J. Stollenwerk the CEO of Allen Edmonds speaks with a slight german accent people from Rhineland (area of Cologne) have where his name is largely spreaded.

Exceptionally great shoes indeed!

The best shoes ANYWHERE! Wonderful comfort and construction -- long wearing and always in style. Plus, BEST salesforce in the Universe!

[mrmecsikan]

this is truly one jewel of the american apparel and should set the example to make more here.

i was on the factory on the summer of 2007 with a group of fellow shoe repairers. The staff was so kind to tour us the same way this video does.

i bought the book of the story and love'it.

its is a real inspiration.

question though; i saw an AE made in italy, its was like the park avenue but on a different last. what's up with that?

[willie1227]

These are the only shoes I buy. They're comfortable from the first time you put them on and look great. They came out with their Classic line this year and they are beautiful! Keep up the good work and keep America working!

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

Keeping the Manufacturing in this country is one of the main reasons I continue to do business with Allen Edmonds.  When that ends - so does our relationship... at that point, there will be nothing to distinguish them from the rest of the din in the market place.

(ps - I miss the Chester - traditional wing-tip)

[jameshudson84]

I am impressed! Right now the most beautiful shoe is the Strand.

[norrab3]

love these shoes wish I had a pair

[gilbertdenice]

La chaussure des présidents. Un seul reproche, un grave déséquilibre entre la hauteur du talon et la cambrure.

[aki2065]

Unfortunately, Allend Edmonds no longer makes a pair of shoes for size 6EEE.

[jvarela965]

Best shoe in the world regardless of price. Period Paragraph

[uweetnix]

You make some excellent products Mr. Stollenwerk but from the look of your shirt and tie combination, I'm assuming you don't get involved with aesthetic issues.

[dexter345]

He just might be. While the shoes are well built, I think that more recent designs are diluting the brand (especially the 'casuals'). Regardless, they do make good shoes for a reasonable price.
