I’ve own a half dozen pairs of Allen Edmonds but am wondering if there’s a similar company (American made and sourced) that are better/more comfortable/better value/ etc.
Haven’t bought a pair of shoes in 5+ years so I suspect the market has changed.
Aldens are pretty highly regarded for quality. People seem to like Grant Stone as well. I don’t own either, but I have a couple pairs of Rancourt & Co and love them. A few years ago they were doing at cost sales of limited styles, so if you’re in no hurry it might be worth getting on their mailing list and seeing if any more come up.
Grant Stones are made in China.
Aldens are pretty good quality, but their prices have run away in recent years, and they never really competed on price in the first place.
