Allen Edmonds Men's Carlyle

Allen Edmonds are the best and will last a lifetime.

I bought these for my husband and they look great and are high quality. The only downside is that they run very narrow. They do come in wide at the Allen Edmonds stores and direct website, but we opted to just get them stretched at a local shoe repair shop. They still need some breaking in but are wearable now!

Great shoes from AE. This is my second pair. The other pair I have had for ~6 years and just get them resoled. If you are looking for a classic black shoe that you can wear with a wide variety of clothing, from a suit to jeans, this is the one to get. It is classic and will not go out of style. Fits as expected and comfortable out of the box, which only improves with time.

AE make excellent shoes, but $400 is quite high. These didn’t disappoint, but I wish the wide sizes went on sale occasionally.

I've always worn better than average shoes. When you wear size 8, you need good shoes. Anyway, one day I went berserk and bought a pair ofAllen Edmonds Men's Carlyle Oxford. They were comfortable from minute #1 and I haven't regretted the purchase for even a second. When I switched to my old good shoes for a week -- WOW what a difference. The Allen Edmonds shoes were much better. I now own two pairs and they are both great. I alternate them each day and use shoe trees at night -- both practices are highly recommended. One other note: Allen Edmonds shoe polish is excellent. I was using the brand you get at the grocery store and what a noticeable difference it makes to use the Allen Edmonds Premium Shoe Polish. Not sure why, but it is much better stuff. Bottom line: If you need excellent black dress shoes that are comfortable enough to wear for long days including long treks through airports, I highly recommend these. As for the price ... How much do you spend for tires on your car? My last set cost $500. I decided that I am worth $300 for awesome shoes.

Shoes had inconsistent black shoe coloring/polish around the sole. Fit was tight, more than what i would have expected. The shine on the leather was a bit more muted than what was anticipated.I did order another pair (light reddish brown) at the same time but this other pair came in a different box, each shoe had its own bag and the quality seemed much better. Fit was also more on par as to what was expected for this particular shoe brand.

High quality, real leather, good material, good finishing, good packaging, doesn’t hurt your feet

Perfect fit but not as described in the pictures.

Very comfortable shoe right out of the box. Great quality. Fits true to size when comparing to other high quality dress shoes and/or leather boots

Phenomenal dress shoe. I have worn many quality brands. The leather is smooth, flawless and moulds well too the foot.

First time buying Allen Edmonds, shoes came in a really nice box and shoe bags. I was disappointed that this came like this. Got another pair sent back to me hopefully it comes back as a good pair.
