This shoe is high quality and comfortable immediately

Great shoe, will order more AE shoes. I ordered an E width and they are much more comfortable from the beginning.

I love these shoes. This is my third pair of Fifth Avenue Cap Top Oxford and about my 12th pair of Allen Edmonds. I won't buy any other brand.

Love these shoes. I wear one of my three pairs of Fifth Avenue Cap Toe Oxfords every day to work, pending on my color selection. Always comfortable. Always durable and fashionable.

Looks great, but did not last a year

(This is my second pair of Allen Edmonds)
Overall the shoe looks fantastic, as you would expect. I got mine in black, and everything from the leather to the stitching looks sharp and neat.
My issue, however, is with the sole. I have had these shoes for just under a year now, and wear them on average every other day at an office job (and for what it's worth, I don't wear them in inclement weather, and I use the shoe trees when they're off). I would expect the sole to still be in great, albeit worn, condition. That, unfortunately, is far from the case. The right shoe has a hole in the sole that's about the size of a quarter, and the hole goes through the sole and into the actual cork. Furthermore, the sole is clearly coming off of the shoe, to the extent that I feel I can almost "peel" it off .
I have read forum posts about Allen Edmonds shoes lasting 3, 4, 5 years before needing recrafting. And while I'm happy to have my shoe recrafted, I'm not interested in having it only last one year.
So overall, I would not recommend (or at least not with the leather sole - the dainite sole on my other pair are holding up very well).

Buy in Store If You Can

I just received my Walnut Fifth Avenues today and would say that I am slightly disappointed in what I received. To echo some of the other reviews, I feel like I received what should have been a factory second pair of Fifth Avenues. Overall, they are still nice shoes but I was expecting, for what you pay, that the fit and finish for a first quality shoe to be better. I noticed a number of things that would make anyone question the quality control for their first quality shoes. The first and biggest thing I noticed is that the welt stitching around the heel of the left shoe, ran off track for 1.5 inches and the seam is on the edge of the welt/outsole, which will end up receiving more wear and tear faster, not to mention doesn't look good if noticed. The second is on the right shoe. The toe cap seam that ties the toe cap to the vamp is out of line with the stitching holes underneath it, leaving the edge of the toe cap not quite covering the seam underneath it. It would be hard to notice at a glance, but easily identifiable by someone admiring their new par of shoes. Some of the smaller things, but still important are looser grain in the lace guard/quarters, some of the smaller brogue holes aren't quite cut out all the way, machine marks around tongue of both shoes from sewing, a skiving mark with a loose flap of leather around the welt, and 1 or 2 small un-burnished areas of the outsole. All in all, I think if you can go to a store in person and do your own inspection, you will undoubtedly find a good shoe. I wish I were able to return these for a better pair, but due to my circumstances, I do not have the time for the turn around. I am known by my friends to be kinder in my reviews than I "should" be, but I would still recommend AE to a friend that wants a quality pair of shoes.
