What would you pay? The Allen Edmonds Mora 2.0 in Bourbon

Allen Edmonds Bourbon Mora 2.0 – $295.00 ($345)

Here’s a potentially perfect storm for some.

Combine the newish, plenty rich, medium brown “bourbon” shade of leather, with the new rounded toe Mora 2.0 double monk, put it on sale, and… poof!

There goes $300.

Maybe.

Now, they have put five other bourbon styles on sale (the Strand, Fifth & Park Ave., Kenilworth, Mcallister) but a few of these have dipped down to the mid or low $200s during earlier sales this year. But the Mora? Just came out. And while many voiced their displeasure with the chiseled toe on the Neumora… Well with a rounded toe, that’s no…mora the case with these!!!!

AHAHAHahhHAHahaHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

Ehhh. Eh-heh. So.

The Mora is also built on a different last than the Neumora, which was another issue that caused consternation on the previous double monk… for some. So previous issues seem to be solved, it’s in the color, and it’s fifty bucks off. More reaction from a reddit user over here.

    I know it’s not remotely in the same league, but it’s a similar look to the Claiborne Gerry double monk. Leather upper, currently on sale for $50 at jcp but only in black. Was considering it before grabbing a pair of Maddens, which I’ve been pleased with for occasional wear.

    Damn those are good. If I had an extra $300 for shoes these would be mine in a heartbeat.

    I have one pair of shoes in Bourbon and don’t plan on buying anymore. I prefer Walnut or the Darker Brown that AE does. I found bourbon looks nicer in pictures than real life.

    You should do an ‘Offered without Comment’ post on the Allen Edmonds ‘see with pants’ product view. Ugh. Why wear a nice pair of shoes if your just going to cover them up with long, baggy pants.

    This pair of double monks look really nice. And the color is great. I have a pair of 5th Aves in Bourbon and love them.

    It’s not the most well executed, but the intentions are appreciated. It’s along the lines of “what are your measurements joe?” here on the site. People just want a better idea. When you’re wearing pants (as you most likely will be with Allen Edmonds…awww yeah…) 20-30% of the shoe is hidden. But yeah… dad jeans.

    Apparently I was the only one that really liked the chisel toe on the Neumora. Got ’em for $250 before the Mora came out, and I think I’d still pick them in a head-to-head matchup.

    I’m not usually a fan of the double monk, but this one nails it for me.

    I’m wearing a brand new pair right now. Leather is stiff and noisy. Perhaps the noise will reduce, but my AE boots I bought last year are still just as noisy. Shoe is a litter narrower than the Park Avenue but otherwise nice. I bought them on sale along with a $50 gift card. Wait for the sale.

    I completely agree. I ran to buy the Fifth Aves in Bourbon during the last sale, but when I saw it in person…it had sort of a sickly yellow undertone.

    You wear pants with yours? I’ve always considered my AE’s my “business” shoes.

    I like the shoe as well as bourbon color quite a bit. That said, the color is created by starting with a walnut shoe and then burnishing/darkening/antiquing it with darker polish. The dark color is not colorfast, so these require more than standard maintenance if you want to keep them looking the way you bought them.

    This is true. I wish I knew that before polishing my Fifth Ave’s. I had a mirror shine on the cap that got a fairly deep scratch in the wax. Using a cleaner/conditioner revealed that it’s just a walnut shoe underneath, so now I have to either figure out how to color match the burnishing, have light colored caps, or remove the burnishing from the rest of the shoe.

  15. Murph65 says

    Similar experience here. I inquired with AE and was told to switch to their leather lotion (even though website clearly says to use cleaner/conditioner). Leather lotion had the same effect. One suggestion was to use the bourbon polish and then brush it off using the shoe brush used for black polish.

    BLASPHEMY!

    (I also really liked the Neumora and wear my black pair all the time. Shhh…)

    I bought the Neumora on clearance, so I won’t be buying these. Damn that’s a lovely shoe though.

    Same camp here. Got the burnished brown, love em and never looked back. It’s a fashion forward shoe and the toe works fine.
