Steps From The Old State House, Allen Edmonds Offers Superior Men’s Footwear In The Heart of Historic Downtown Some things remain timeless. That’s how Allen Edmonds feels about its traditional 212-step manufacturing process that has been the basis for handcrafting Allen Edmonds Goodyear welted shoes since 1922. It’s a lot of work for one pair of shoes. And Allen Edmonds certainly feels a sense of pride that comes with making its shoes in the same way and in the same place for nearly 100 years. But the company isn’t just keeping up a tradition for tradition’s sake. If there were a better method of making premium shoes up to the firm’s exacting standards, they’d do it. Until someone improves on Allen Edmonds’ way of doing things, they are sticking with what got them here. Allen Edmonds style is about more than just fashion and materials. It is about conveying a classic look while retaining versatility and durability. While all Allen Edmonds customers hold true to these enduring values, they are not clones and that’s why Allen Edmonds carries a variety of products and manufacturers–one hundred different shoes in countless shapes, sizes, designs and materials. From the iconic Park Avenue and the sophisticated Williams to the more rugged Lubbock and edgier Ashbury, every one of Allen Edmonds’ shoes tells a distinctly 83 story all its own.
