What is the allen edmonds shoe bank? It is a "seconds" store. AE "seconds" are new but have some flaw (often quite minor) that caused them to flunk quality control.
I just ordered a pair of clifton's for $149 today, and will surely post pictures once they arrive. If you do wish to take advantage of these prices without seeing the flaw. Here's their number: 1(262) 284 - 7158. Just go ahead and tell him what shoe, color, and size you want!
Reviews i looked up:
"This store is a true outlet of AE. So, this means that unlike most outlets in the country, they don't make CRAP for their outlets. These are true 2nds. When I say 2nds, I mean...a small scuff on the bottom (yes the bottom) or a place on the leather that might have a micro imperfection."
"Marvelous place to spend few hundred dollars. For a newer menswear shopper; the staff certainly treat you like a gentleman. The shoes are everything that the reviews say they are. So far I am very impressed and plan to put on quite a few miles with them."
