Vintage shoe still in current production but with updated last shape. Shows excellent vintage construction with quality leather and traditional components. Demonstrates consistency in Allen Edmonds manufacturing over decades.
Strength
- Still available in modern production
- Thick leather sole
- Quality leather uppers with nice hatch grain pattern
- Traditional Blucher style construction
- Perforated leather lining still in good condition
- Seven nails in heel consistent with other models
- Good quality leather after 50 years remains supple
Weakness
- Cork is very dry and brittle with age
- Last shape has been updated from original
- Plastic strip mystery component in welt stitching of unknown purpose
