Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Leeds model is the first Allen Edmonds shoe I have purchased/owned. These are without a doubt the single most comfortable shoe I have ever walked in. They are more comfortable than any sneaker I have ever owned.
Some background: I finally said enough after walking 20+ miles all over New York on a business trip. A customer of mine wanted to see the cities landmarks during a conference. My Johnson and Murphy's (1 1/2 years old and worn minimally) were shot, not to mention my freaking feet. I could barely walk for a couple of days and my heel hurt for two weeks afterwards. My J & M's are in a landfill somewhere as I type this.
The above prompted me to research higher quality shoes. I simply chose AE over Alden this particular time because I liked the look of the Leeds. Allen Edmonds quality is certainly commensurate with the price, if not more so. I got the black calf leather.
I am sure I will stay with Allen Edmonds on future purchases. The only other shoes I can see myself getting, is an Edward Green, a significant step up in quality even over AE's.
Some advice- The shoes are accurate to shoe size and width. I wouldn't over think anything buying them on line.
Also spending this much on shoes obviously it is smart to get shoe trees. Buy your shoe trees from Allen Edmonds direct, you will save 40-45% depending on state tax or even more as they are on sale occasionally. For instance they were 14.95 on sale but AE's website charges WI state sales tax, Amazon obviously does not. They are 29.95 + shipping on Amazon, AE does not charge for shipping.
One other thing: The solid block shoe trees run bigger than the split toed trees, so be careful if your shoe size is in between tree sizes. The solid ones wouldn't fit my shoes while the split toe easily did................
