Great shoes, they are very comfortable and stylish. This is my 3rd pair of Allen Edmonds and they are well made and last for years. I can wear these shoes all day and my feet do not hurt at all.

These are great looking and very comfortable once broken in. It took me a few rounds of orders through Zappos before getting the right size, largely because the width really matters and affects the volume of the shoe. This will affect the crease and overall look of the shoe. It is worth getting your foot measured somewhere to get the right shoe. Neither an 11½D or 11D fit me right and I finally got measured and realized that I needed an 11½C, which fits perfectly.

Long time Allen Edmonds fan. The Park Avenue was a replacement for a previous Park Avenue pair that I had recrafted several times, but the heels finally gave in. The shoe is a bit stiff as new and requires some break in time. Nonetheless, for road warriors and heavy use, this is the shoe you want. Comfortable and well built, I like this model.

Allen Edmonds shoes tend to run a half-size big, at least at EEE and wider widths. I knew this, and ordered accordingly. Like my Allen Edwards boots, the Park Avenue is fantastically well made of very high quality leather, and made in the USA. I put them on out of the box and didn't want to take them off. The six-hole height is tall enough to look like a boot but still short enough to feel like a shoe. The design is clean and modern with classic proportions and detailing. You can't go wrong with this dress shoe. You will pay more than other brands, but the quality and sturdiness is worth it and these will last for decades.

Very comfortable for a dress shoe. Wore them for a major conference and then a trade show, both with lots of time on my feet, and no break-in period.

Great shoes, though toe is slightly more pointed than I'd like. Seems to run big; I'm having to order/try on sizes smaller than I ever have before.

Beautifully made and super comfortable. My husband was being cheap and buying less expensive shoes but finally broke down and got these. He said they were a little snug first thing in the morning but by the end of the day, he sent an email that he loved them!

My first pair of Allen Edmonds and not disappointed. Well-made, classy look. They were slightly narrower than expected and also took about a week to break in. They say good shoes do not need a break-in period...whoever they are. Still happy with them and they are now comfortable. Would buy again and looking for a brown pair.

Outstanding quality, comfort and style - right out of the box. I purchased these shoes before a business trip to London. Wore them every other day for a more than a week with much walking on cobblestone and concrete - not a single uncomfortable moment.

I am so pleased with the service I received. To be honest, I ordered shoes that turned out to be the wrong size. Given the cost of these shoes I was quite nervous about what might occur. The team at Zappos handled my situation perfectly. I was able to replace the shoes with the right size and with incredible service and understanding. Great shoes-great service- great job Zappos!

The Park Avenue is the only dress shoe my husband will wear; Allen Edmonds is the only brand he considers when buying dress shoes. These shoes get a lot of wear and still look great after wearing them longer than most would; he has them re-soled and then they are ready for another year!

I have had two pairs of these shoes. I have had my current pair for 8--yes 8!--years (with a couple of sole changes). These are hands down the most comfortable and durable pair of shoes I have ever owned. I will never buy another company's dress shoes!

These are great shoes and I would highly recommend them to anyone. I have both the black and burgundy. I have worn Allen Edmonds for more than 10 years.

I like the classic lines of these shoes, as you can easily dress them up. As other reviews mention, they take some time to break in, but are decent once you break them in. One issue I have is that it seems my feet are rather tall, and although the length/width of the shoes is appropriate, I feel a fair amount of pressure on the tops of my feet. I don't know what to make of that.

A classic, stylish, and well constructed shoe with a great fit. Much better than anything else I found in the market.

I have a lot of trouble finding a dress shoe that doesn't make my feet hurt. I have tried so many of them...expensive ones, cheap ones, in between. This is the best of the bunch so far and they look great.

This is my first nice pair of dress shoes, and there really is a difference. I was going through multiple pairs of low end shoes and my boss said I needed to get a pair of Edmonds. He was right. The look and feel is great. I highly recommend this American made shoe.

I am neither a shoe connoisseur nor one demanding a high-quality, hand-made dress shoe. But I must explain my experience with the Park Avenue. I found these on the shoe rack at a thrift store, coated in dust, spotted lightly with paint, but nonetheless never worn with the tissue still inside. I could tell they were worth more than the $4 price tag. I cleaned and polished them and wore them to a wedding. The blend of style, durability and craftsmanship is unlike any article of clothing I've ever worn. I am constantly astounded by their comfort and look. Even though I discovered they were worth 80 times what I paid for them, I will never sell them and plan to use them for decades to come.

I own several AE shoes and the 65 last is my favorite for work. Have a few Fifth Avenue and Strand, but this is my fist pair of Park Avenues. I am surprised they feel slightly longer than the rest of my shoes.

Attractive shoe but slightly odd fit - not sure I would have bought them if I tried them on in a store but I bought them on-line. Fingers crossed that they get broken in.

Allen-Edmonds shoes/boots are the most comfortable I've owned. In the years I've been wearing their shoes I know I can trust if the style is made on a last I'm familiar with it will fit my feet properly. My only complaint is that the shoes require polishing upon arrival if you want a high gloss finish (see the 4 star overall rating). If you want a well made shoe that looks good and fits properly then you should try Allen-Edmonds.

Great shoes. My husband loves them. The color is a nice deep brown. Just bummed because they looked a bit worn when we received them. For the price of the shoes, I'd expect them to be perfect without any signs of others trying them on. They had creases in the leather and scuffs on the bottom.
