Allen Edmonds seems to be an affordable and well made shoe (I say that with an asterisk...you know what you have done to me Mr. Edmonds!
and I see many members here also remark on their seconds. Not exactly living near a major U.S. city (D.C. is 2.5 hours away) to be able to easily attend tent sales and trunk shows, I have to rely on ebay and tidbits from websites dropped from this distinguished forum in forming intelligent decisions for well thought out purchases; here is the question:
What usual defects can be expected in an Allen Edmonds second? I am looking for a tuxedo shoe in the wide spectrum, and God bless Allen Edmonds they carry them. However, I do not have the desire to drop 300 dollars for a 1st, as my semi-formal and formal events are very rare; I would consider a second if I knew what to expect from them.
That being said, I have purchased two pairs of their shoes recently, including a Wilbert that had to be returned twice to Nordstrom before I got a defect free pair; I love 'em but I am leary of 'em. Any thoughts?
