Allen Edmonds

Founded in 1922 and headquartered in Port Washington Wisconsin, where they still make many of their shoes, we’ve called Allen Edmonds the “biggest good shoe brand” — some are bigger, some are better, but no one balances scale and quality like them. Their best known boot is the Higgins Mill but they’re most famous for the Park Avenue, the seminal oxford and every guy’s first dress shoe.
