For those of us who have lots of money to spend on shoes, and even for those of us who don't, save up and get a pair of shoes from Allen Edmonds. A few years ago my father gave me a pair of hand-me-down shoes from 1972 (and he paid $250 for them!@!@ You could buy a Mustang at the time for like $4000), needless to say, I looked upon him as if he were on crack. He wasn't. I put the shoes on, and let me just say, holy shit. Every step was like a massage on my feet, with a little indent for every toe which hugged my foot like a glove. I later found out that they were the pair of shoes which my father had gotten married wearing. Well, on to the store, and not just the shoes. I went there not long ago because this pair of shoes, which had become my absolute favorite, were starting to develop a slight tear on the curve of the heel. The staff could not have been more helpful or nicer. They made me feel like a regular customer. Sent my shoes back to the factory, a few weeks later, good as new! All I had to pay was shipping! Now on to their new shoes, they will run you upwards of $500, but it's worth every damn penny, your feet will know where that money went! read more
