Allen Edmonds’ Shoe Bank is having a sale this Memorial weekend. This is where they normally sell factory seconds, which means slightly damaged pairs that didn’t pass quality control. Most of the time, they’re defects that nobody would ever notice. Many of the times, it’s not even clear what the defect is.
Factory seconds for the Park Avenues you see above are normally $259 at The Shoe Bank. This weekend they’ve been discounted to $221. You can call them at (262) 785-6666 to see what else they have in your size. It’s best if you know your AE models or at least are at a computer where you can Google them. You can also email them at brookfield@allenedmonds.com and ask them to tell you what’s available in your size. Shipping is free within the United States.
