Whether it's the timeless architecture of New York's dramatic Chrysler Building or the boundless utility of a Swiss Army Knife, you just can't improve upon some ideas. For that same reason we celebrated the 30th Anniversary of the sleek design of our Park Avenue in 2010, continually one of Allen Edmonds' best sellers and the Inauguration Day footwear choice for Presidents Reagan, H.W. Bush, Clinton and G.W. Bush. Guaranteed to make a dramatic impression, this cap-toe balmoral combines a classic silhouette with unsurpassed craftsmanship to convey the serious presence necessary for anyone who leads by example and ensures the Park Avenue will perfectly suit all the most important moments in your life.
True tastemakers know chili adds the same complexities to food as it does to shoes: color, depth and just the right amount of kick. That's why we're proud to introduce Bob's Chili, our new dark chili burnished leather. Named after our head of finishing, Bob's Chili was an experiment on the burnishing wheel. He combined several unique dyes and a pinch or two of secret sauce to create distinctly powerful highs and lows in the Chili color range. Now available in our line-up of Classics, as well as other select styles, these styles are destined to be the hottest shoes out there when the weather turns cool.
