First of all. These shoes are beautiful! High quality shoes seem to be a relic of the past and Allen Edmonds is one of the only true American shoemakers that remain. With J&M's downgrade in quality and Alden's Beverly Hills price tags, Allen Edmonds is really the only company that remains for me. Everything about these shoes is immaculate, down to the high quality bags that they come with!

HOWEVER: These shoes are sized entirely wrong. I'm normally a 12 D/E with "average" (*cough* J&M *cough*) makes, so I ordered a pair of 12Es, they were entirely too small. I switched them for a 12EEE, which are still entirely too small. I went into their store today to find that NONE of their penny loafers fit me. This was extremely disheartening as I can fit into some SLT Ferragamos; an Italian maker should never make wider shoes than an American one. My advice: buy them in the store, and be ready to be disappointed if you have wide feet.
