Allen Edmonds Rediscover America Sale 2025 – Top 10 Picks

Up to 40% off Rediscover America Sale (exp. 10/27)

AE has two big sales on the calendar every year. First is their Anniversary Sale in the spring, and this second one is their Rediscover America sale. It’s during these big events that their “icons” shoes actually go on significant sale. It’s not every day one can save serious money on a pair of Parks or Strands. So yes, while AE will run the occasional sale, this big one, and the “other big one” (not a technical term) in the Spring are the real deals. Below is our top 10 rankings picked and placed by way of a combination of factors like value, versatility, discount, and style.

 

#1. Strand Oxfords – $299 ($450)

Wasn’t expecting these to be under $300. Usually they’re more than that, even during AE’s two big sales.

The Strand is the legendary, bit-of-flash dress shoe from Allen Edmonds. They’re often excluded from other sales, but the Rediscover America sale (and the Anniversary sale in the Spring) is usually when you get them for a bit off list price. Nice to see that’s holding true again this year. Almost $100 off. Available in Walnut (shown), Mahogany (in person review here), Black, Dark Chili, or dark brown Espresso.

NOTE: If a truly dark brown color would appeal to you, Nordstrom Rack still has the Espresso option on mega sale for $179.97. Limited sizes though. Just 9.5, 10, and 10.5 left at post time.

 

#2. Park Avenue Leather Sole Oxfords – $349 ($450)

Full review here. The bedrock of the Allen Edmonds business. Doesn’t get more timeless and handsome than that. They DO make the Park Avenue with a Dainite Rubber sole, but for some reason they’ve limited the color selection on the Dainite sole version to just Black, Walnut, Dark Chili, and Coffee. Shown above in the darker brown leaning mahogany. Also shown at the very top of the post in the darker red leaning burgundy.

 

#3. Combination Cedar Shoe Trees – $19 ($30)

Yep. #3 on the top 10. Under twenty bucks! Gonna need those if you pick up a new pair of shoes or boots during this sale. Made in the USA. Won’t ship for free on their own since standard free shipping doesn’t kick in until $100 these days.

 

#4. Higgins Mill Weatherproof Boot – $429 ($550)

Boot season is here. Spendy, but the Higgins Mill does it all. They’re simple, handsome, and have (wait for it) Dainite rubber soles. The weatherproof leather uppers are a feature that competing, heritage workwear/field-style boots rarely if ever match. Available in five colors, including the new Burgundy Chromexcel (which looks like it could be Horween’s #8). Chili is shown above. Full review here.

 

#5. Fifth Avenue Oxfords w/ Dainite Rubber Soles – $289 ($475)

Timeless style and crafted in Port Washington Wisconsin. As we head into fall and winter, making the switch from leather soled dress shoes to something with a bit of traction is the way to go. The Dainite sole is largely un-noticeable. It’s not some big toothy, lug sole. Not at all. They look just fine with a suit. Perfect even. If you don’t think the Dainite sole is necessary, then the standard leather sole version is also on sale for $20 less ($269).

 

#6. Mid-Calf or Over the Calf Merino Blend Socks – $15 – $18 ($20-$24)

We interrupt this list for necessary… sockage. Made in the USA. Temperature regulating merino wool blend. True dress sock weight. So, not thick. But not so paper thin that they feel wimpy. Mid calf or true over-the-calf length.

 

#7. Park Avenue Verse Suede Boots – $429 ($550)

A new arrival from their easy wearing, softer construction “Verse” line. Still crafted in Wisconsin with a Goodyear welt. Spendy though. Even with the sale.

 

#8. Carlyle Plain-Toe Oxfords – $349 ($450)

Modern in their minimalism, classy in their quiet style. That’s the Carlyle. Hard not to love. Full review here. Available in black, dark chili, or walnut. Would love it if Allen Edmonds started offering this model in Mahogany or Espresso.

 

#9. Chandler Weatherproof Chukkas – $399 ($525)

No one advocates for wearing chukka boots like this particular style website. These have weatherproof uppers, Dainite soles, and are versatile enough to pair with both casual and smart casual wear. But those eyelets, as cool as they are, will keep them from being dressed up.

 

#10. Park Avenue Cap-toe Oxford Dress Boots – $429 ($550)

Also available in chili or burgundy. If you’re the type that loves both your dress shoes as well as wearing boots from time-to-time, these are going to be hard to pass up. Would have been higher up the list if they had a grippy, v-tread or Dainite sole. Soles are the usual leather. Which is… fine. Would have been nice to have seen all season “tires” put on this particular ride. Like these.

 

BONUS  #11. Liverpool Chelsea Boots (suede or leather) – $429 ($550)

Hello, “polo” suede. Extra “how-do-you-do” to the dark brown Espresso. Sleek but not Elf-ish/pointy. Dead simple design. Comfortable. Also made in Dark Chili, Walnut, and Black.

NOTE: Nordstrom Rack has these in walnut for $259.97. Lots of sizes too.

The Allen Edmonds Rediscover America Sale goes live to everyone Friday morning, and is scheduled to run through 10/27 (although that can change).
