We speak from personal experience; the Park Avenue is simply gorgeous. They arrive in luxurious, premium packaging that’s representative of the level of craftsmanship you’ve come to expect from Allen Edmonds. Unboxing the shoes feels like opening your most anticipated gift on Christmas morning. We felt as much joy and excitement in opening them as we experienced when we wore them for the first time.

Handcrafted in Port Washington, Wisconsin, these shoes look and feel like the epitome of luxury. The leather lined interior is so soft and sturdy, and it’s immediately obvious that the CustomCork™ insoles will form to fit your feet perfectly after a short amount of wear. These shoes are incredibly impressive, both visually and from a comfort perspective.
The single layer of vegetable-tanned leather used to build the soles gives the Park Avenue cap-toe oxford a sleek, low profile, and we can imagine wearing these with quite literally any outfit. After taking these for a spin, it’s not hard to see why the Park Avenue is Allen Edmond’s best-selling style. You can wear them all day, and all night, to any venue.
