Class Shoe - A well-built dressy shoe, to carry the well-dressed man through the day and into the evening. Comments are all positive, speaking to my wisdom in choosing such a fine shoe.

Park Avenue Performance from Zappos! Zappos price was only $3 more than the lowest price I found elsewhere, but included free overnight shipping. And my size is very rare -- 13AAA. Very comfortable, stylish, classy, and the service could not have been better. My experience did not include immediate comfort out of the box as described by others, but after 2 wearings, the shoes "broke in" to a nice comfort level. Zappos will now be my first stop for shoes, instead of my last stop in desperation, as it was this time. I could not be happier. Thanks!!!

The Cadillac Of Dress Shoes - These shoes can be a bit pricey, but they fit perfect out of the box. There is no "break in" period and they look sharp.

Outstanding - Probably the best shoe I'll ever own. The leather quality is excellent. The shoes feel comfortable almost immediately. They aren't running shoes, but they're not going to give you blisters either. The styling is classic and will always be great for formal wear. The shoe is built on a narrow last, so their normal-width fits a bit tight on normal feet. Unless you have skinny feet, you might want to go with the wide size.

Did not settle - Usually I have to settle for D width shoes and figure out how to make them work. The Park Avenues in C width were perfect. The only reason for 4 stars for comfort is because they are dress shoes with hard soles. These shoes are expensive, but they are also well built and beautiful.

I hate to say anything negative about the shoe after all of the rave reviews that I've read here, but I've accumulated a few nasty scratches on the toes of these shoes in only a few weeks of wearing them as the leather seems perhaps too soft. In saying that, I love Allen Edmonds and my other pair, Brentwood, has held up great for five years of fairly regular wear. As for the Park Avenue, they fit perfectly, look great and I'm sure they'll last a long time, but I guess I'm just a little irritated about the scratches.

Best Dress Shoe in the Market - If you are hesitating between the Park Avenue and another pair of shoes, please do not hesitate! Price, quality, reliability, comfort... there is nothing like it. I have been a loyal Allen Edmonds customer ever since I bought a pair two years ago; these are my third pair. Again, nothing like it. The best dress shoe in the market.

My first impression was that these shoes are the most comfortable shoes that I have ever worn. The shoes have a traditional cap toe style, but I would have preferred a less pointed toe such as with the AE Byron.

Speechless - I have been eyeing this pair for a good 5 years, and finally bought it. I must say I wish I bought them a long time ago. These shoes are very classic looking...I mean 5 yrs later and I still couldn't find a better looking shoe. Having owned a pair of AE before, I knew my size and they fit like a glove right out of the box.

Just bought my 2nd pair!!! These are, by far, the best dress shoes I have ever owned. They took a couple of wears to break-in, but, after that they have became the most comfortable dress shoe I have ever worn. They are incredibly well-made and look very sharp. My first pair were black and I just ordered a brown pair. I wish I would have spent the extra money years ago.

Highly recommended - Extremely comfortable from minute one day one. With these, I never worry about comfort even when I'm on my feet all day or during those long days traveling through airports. Pricey? Yep. Worth it? I spent $500 for tires for my car recently and to be brutally honest, my feet are priceless. So, while these shoes are pricey (by my standards at least), this will be my second pair (the first pair are over 2 years old and are in fine shape other than needing new soles which is pretty good given that I have worn them 5 days a week during this period) as I can't find anything near the comfort and overall value. Highly recommended.

You get what you pay for! I read a lot of reviews about this brand of shoe. Comments like "comfortable right out of the box," yada yada, and I was skeptical you know. But I'm happy to report that being a skeptic isn't always what its cracked up to be, at least in regards to these shoes. Bottom line: Buy this brand of shoes, it’s worth every penny, and the people who proffered that the shoes are "comfortable right out of the box" were right. Glad I shelled out the dough.

This is the most comfortable captoe that I have ever owned. I also have a pair of J&M Melton’s, but those will be my backups for these shoes for those times when the Park Avenues are off being re-crafted.

The 8 hour shoe - I am a professional wedding photographer and spend 6-8 hours on a Saturday on my feet. Allen Edmonds shoes feel great, look great and give you the all day support you would normally never get in a dress shoe.

If you're in business formal, this "is" the shoe for you - - Gave it 4 stars only because they're new and need to be broken in. You can get any width with these great USA made shoes. I have a cave man foot, maybe should have gotten EE or EEE. - Great leather, shined to a deep luster on the first try. - An absolute classic shoe.

Worth The Money- I purchased a pair of the Melton Johnston Murphy shoes and returned them to Zappos because they were stiff and dug into the side of my ankle. For some reason they are cut higher around the ankle than the Allen Edmunds. Purchased these after returning the Melton. No comparison in the leathers, fit and construction. Beautiful shoe and comfortable immediately.

Zappos, we'll be back! My husband wears a size 12Wide shoe which is difficult to find in stock in most shoe stores. He needed a new pair of brown dress shoes before leaving on a business trip. We logged onto Zappos and chose the Allen-Edmonds Park Avenue shoe. We paid a small upcharge for next-day delivery and were surprised when they actually arrived the next day. My husband is thrilled with these shoes. The fit is perfect, the quality outstanding, and he says they're the most comfortable pair of shoes he owns. We'll definitely be ordering from Zappos time and time again!

Ok Shoe - Looks great - Shoe screwed up my heel - looser fit caused friction and bad blister. Heel pad and tongue pad made it better. This is the consequence of a real dress shoe though. Otherwise, a great shoe - it is comfortable now, although just a touch narrow in the toe area. I am a natural 12, and 11 1/2 was a little big.

awesome service - I needed these shoes asap as my dog (yes, true story) ate my newest pair the day before. However, I had a couple of other pairs that were older so I did not pay for express overnight delivery. However, to my surprise, Zappos upgraded the delivery at no charge and the order I placed on Saturday pm was delivered Tuesday afternoon. Now, that is service.

I'm having a party tomorrow night, and after my usual online store hadn't even shipped my fondue pot by yesterday morning and after checking several real stores, I stumbled upon Zappos.com. Who knew you even carried fondue pots?! You said you had it in stock, and with trepidation, I paid for 2-day shipping with hopes it would arrive with time to wash it and prepare the fondue. Well, a mere 24 hours - 24!!! - I have my fondue pot in hand! You upgraded my shipping, and up drives the UPS man with my package this morning. Thank you, Zappos, you rock. This wasn't my first order and it definitely will not be my last. Have a great day and keep up the great work. Theresa M.
