Quick Picks: Allen Edmonds Extra 20% off Clearance

Allen Edmonds Late Winter Clearance

The latest Allen Edmonds 2nds Quality Sale wraps up today (here’s how that type of sale works, via Reddit), but if you struck out on the 2nds quality stuff, it might be time to revisit the Allen Edmonds Clearance section. A few new options recently got dumped in there, and it’s worth a quick look. All picks below had a decent size selection at post time

UPDATE: And poof, like that, overnight, they knock an extra 20% off clearance at checkout. Scout’s honor didn’t know that was coming. Worth a call to customer service if you ordered something yesterday. Many thanks to Riley for sending in the tip early this morning (2/19), and for also confirming that customer service will price-match if you give them a quick call.

 

Park Avenue in Walnut Grain Calf – $227.00 $181.60 ($335)

Park Ave Grain / Dappered.com

A rare one. Available online only. Lots of sizes but it looks like for many sizes & width combos they’re going to be made to order, and thus, there’ll be an 8 week turnaround time.

 

Hale in Black Calf – $237.00 $189.60 ($345)

hale dress  ox

For a good long while, these were down to just a couple of sizes. Now, it looks like they’re making most if not all sizes, as long as you can wait the 8 weeks it’ll take. That’s a LOT of dress shoe, for just under $190. One of the better deals seen in awhile.

 

Neumora Double Monk in Black – $247.00 $197.60 ($345)

Black Neumora on Dappered.com

Guess what’s back. The Chisel Toe Haters were happy to see the Neumora go (and frankly, nobody argues about the toe on the Mora 2.0) but at $100 off they’re a solid deal. The toe really isn’t that sharp in person. In fact, some might like that slight chisel on the no nonsense black option. Looks fantastic with all kinds of suits when going tieless. Consider going down a half size. Full review on these things over here.

 

McTavish in Smokey Grey Leather – $147.00 $117.60 ($295)

grey mctavish on Dappered.com

The Zombie McAlister (hat tip to Shomas for that original nickname) has returned. It’s a roughed wingtip Oxford (the McTavish model) in a smokey grey. Black welt is a little too visually thick for some, but it does blend in a bit more in person. Now under a hundred fifty bucks. Far from a home run for everyone.

 

Elgin Cap Toe Oxfords in Saddle Waxy Leather – $197 $157.60 ($295)

Elgin

More of a spring/summer dress, or year round casual in a more dressed up form. A bit like a casual Friday Strand. Awfully close to the just introduced “Rush Street“, and only $125 less (although the Chromexcel leather on the Rush Street sure looks fantastic). Both the Elgin and Rush Street are built on the 65 last, which is the same last the Strand is built on.

 

Carson City Boots – $197.00 $157.60 ($350)

Carson City Casual on Dappered.com

Like someone threw a Dalton on a Hoverboard. Sadly, these don’t actually hover. At least, pretty sure they don’t. YMMV.

 

Player’s Shoe in Walnut Burnished Calf – $227.00 $181.60 ($335)

AE's Players on Dappered.com

A derby wingtip that’s a favorite for plenty. Does seem to show up at some Nordstrom Racks from time to time. Looks mighty good with grey trousers and a navy blazer.

 

Player’s Shoe in Sand or Bittersweet Chocolate Suede – $227 $181.60 ($335)

Players in Suede on Dappered.com

Seems like these would have dipped a bit further than the walnut calf, but the chocolate suede option should be pretty versatile. Still a lot to pay for a suede derby.

 

Promontory Point Cap Toe Boot – $197.00 $157.60 ($350)

Promontory Pebbled on Dappered.com

These seem to have gone over like a lead football with the general public, yet still tempting to some of us. But what do they really look like? Football pebbled leather, thick laces, and a Dainite rubber sole. Getting close to the time of year when you start shelving your boots for more 60 degrees + up appropriate footwear.

So back to the Factory Outlet 2nds sale… How’d everyone do? Happy with what you got? Did you not find what you were looking for in your size? Leave it all in the comments below…

    I have the Park Avenues in walnut pebble grain. I LOVE them! granted, the pair that I received appeared significantly darker than walnut in other styles. I can’t explain why that is. But regardless, they add just the little bit of flare while still being clean enough for a suit.

  2. Alan says

    February 18, 2014 at 9:08 AM

    As for the sale, I didn’t even look at the lists. I can’t afford them right now so window shopping would just be an exercise in disappoint for me.

  3. Bryant says

    February 18, 2014 at 9:31 AM

    Any thoughts on the Kenwood in pebble grain for 117?

    I am a big fan of the Neumoras, but I second the recommendation of sizing down at least a half size.

  5. drocpsu says

    February 18, 2014 at 10:05 AM

    Wow, AE makes a lot of variations of the Strand. I didn’t even know these things existed.

  6. Alan says

    February 18, 2014 at 10:17 AM

    What’s your intent for it? They’re too casual for a suit, but they’ll go great with khakis and a polo. They’re not particularly inspiring, but they’re a safe and solid example of a casual loafer, IMO. And I’m sure they’re made very well.

    I’m also going to throw in a vote for the Hamptons in Brown Burnished Calf/Brown Grain Leather for $197. I also have a pair of these and they’re AWESOME! They’re some of my very favorites. At first I didn’t know what to think of them, but I adopted a “screw it” attitude, and they quickly grew on me. They work well with all of my suits (grey, navy, and tan). Note that they have a round toe so they’re not what some people would call “sexy”. But what they lack in sex appeal, they more than make up for with flare… All without looking ridiculous.

    I’ve read speculation elsewhere that the shoes in this photo are AE Players in Walnut. I’ve always enjoyed this picture, and always wondered about the shoes. What do you think?

  9. Alan says

    February 18, 2014 at 10:44 AM

    Here they are in all their glory.

    Not sure about the hatred for the Numora toe, I kinda like it.

    Hands down ugliest shoe in AE line up is Park Ave in black, big bulbous fat toe just seems out of place with fitted clothing, Walnut might look better though.

    Players are extremely sexy shoe, great toe and profile!

    Got a pair of Franciscans in Merlot (the order taker was very surprised they ever made them in that color – last/single pair) and a pair of Brooks Cronmok Wingtip boots in tan, all for under $300.

  12. DXLi says

    February 18, 2014 at 12:07 PM

    I think dressy leather shoes look super awkward sans-socks. But maybe that’s just me.

  13. Joe says

    February 18, 2014 at 12:21 PM

    Franciscans in Merlot are now my white whale. Man. Envious over here. Nice get.

  14. Seth Pollins says

    February 18, 2014 at 12:29 PM

    I tend to agree. I suppose these look good to me because they look so worn. I’ve tried to go sockless with my unlined pair of brown Alden bluchers. I try this only when a little drunk.

  15. Greg Haney says

    February 18, 2014 at 12:33 PM

    Tip on the Grey McTavish, apply a generous amount of Saphir Renovateur and the color of the shoe changes from light grey to dark.

    In my opinion this blends much better with the black welt and enhances the rough burnishing of the shoe. I did this about 9 months ago, and the color has stayed dark. Get a lot of compliments when I wear them.

  16. Greg Haney says

    February 18, 2014 at 12:39 PM

    AE Seconds sale: I came away with 3 pairs of Strands (Bourbon, Walnut, and Brown) and the Franciscan in Black and Walnut.

    Great sale, been waiting on those for a while!

  17. BYC says

    February 18, 2014 at 1:06 PM

    The wingtips… borderline. The ones on the right? Ten miles past the line.

  18. Sergio Arteaga says

    February 18, 2014 at 2:45 PM

    PIcked up the Black neumora’s for $86 thanks to a friend at AE :-)!

  19. burban says

    Picked up the Strand in bourbon and the McAllisters in merlot. Could’ve reversed the colors on those two and been just as happy, but those were available in my size. Went to the Brookfield outlet last weekend to get some polish and was tempted by the burgundy Patriots and brown Strands, but held off. Just can’t see myself wearing loafers very often.

  20. sabrown says

    February 18, 2014 at 3:17 PM

    Picked up the tan suede Amoks for $99. Worn them once since and loved them. They are going to have a lot of mileage put on them this spring and summer!

  21. jamie says

    February 18, 2014 at 3:21 PM

    Also, the current webgem is a customizable Neumok – some of the colors are pretty outrageous, but $199 for a custom shoe is a good deal.

    The McTavishes look MUCH better in person than they do in the photo. I was fully expecting to have to remove the black stain by hand, but with some dark wash denim they look absolutely fantastic.

    I spent way too long looking at this, trying to figure out the difference between it and the McTavishes in my closet, before realizing it’s the same shoe with a short wing. I like it.

  24. Kevin says

    February 18, 2014 at 5:37 PM

    They do look good.

  25. ari says

    February 18, 2014 at 5:41 PM

    mine as well!

  26. Alan says

    February 18, 2014 at 9:44 PM

    Yes and no. It’s sort of a pseudo cap toe/wingtip, but it’s also a spectator. But instead of being a typical spectator with different colors, it’s much more subtle because it has different textures. It’s got smooth leather on the cap, laces, and counter (the back piece), but it’s got grain leather on everything else. And I’ve noticed over time that the two leathers are actually wearing in at different rates such that they’re now starting to have a slightly different shade of brown, even if they didn’t when I bought them. They’re just plain spiffy.

    Anyone else showing the “receive an additional 20% off at checkout” on all the clearance shoes? I sure hope there’s nothing in a 13E…

  28. BJ McGeever says

    February 19, 2014 at 8:03 AM

    I’m a huge fan of the AE Player’s in walnut. They were actually the first legit pair of dress shoes I purchased about 2 years ago. They’ve held up really well, the leather has taken on a really cool depth/character (aka patina?).

  29. Alan says

    February 19, 2014 at 10:08 AM

    … and I’ve got those black Hales (new addition since yesterday)!

    They’re the only black shoes I own. I would still prefer Park Avenues over the Hales, but I don’t like them $100+ more.

  30. Jack Guthrey says

    February 19, 2014 at 12:12 PM

    Which of these would you pair with Seersucker? Player’s Shoe in Sand?

  31. Prayer Police says

    February 19, 2014 at 12:21 PM

    Just got me a pair of those Zombies.

  32. Alan says

    February 19, 2014 at 1:17 PM

    There are a number of them that would work, but my absolute favorite for seersucker would be the Strawfoot in brown calf/linen. Awww yeeeeah… (It’s not listed here, but it’s available on the AE clearance page.)

  33. pridv says

    February 19, 2014 at 4:59 PM

    if you have a AE store close by it might be worth the visit and order in store. Just be sure to know what you want to order before going in as it seems they don’t have any clearance items there. I wanted the Player’s walnut shown above but they didn’t have my size online, I was able to order them for $145.28 before tax along with the Neumok suede tan for $126, both shipped to my door.

  34. Matt M says

    February 22, 2014 at 7:27 PM

    Argh! Just getting back into the country and seeing this post. Doesn’t look like the Carson boot is available anymore. Those look great! For the price I definitely would have jumped on them. Doh!

  35. Philip says

    I picked up the Strandmok in tan suede during this sale, and I will say that I think they’re trying to push off some of their 2nd’s during this clearance event. The pair I got had some questionable construction issues and a couple bad scuff marks that were very noticeable right after removing them from the box. I had been looking at these for a while and couldn’t pass up on them at this price, but with the defects I didn’t even bother trying this pair on. Entirely too many defects for even the reduced price of $160.
