Great Shoe
PostedAugust 28, 2015
I got this shoe in Walnut. Of the 22 pairs of Allen Edmonds that I own, the Flat Iron gets the most compliments. I find it goes great with my business wear and works superbly with jeans or chinos. It is both comfortable and attractive. The construction quality of the shoe is very good. I do not shop for a specific size shoe with AE, the "right size" will vary based on the last that a shoe is built on. If a shoe I am interested in is built on a last that I have not worn, I will go into an Allen Edmonds store to figure out the correct size for me. I have shoes in 11E, 11EEE, 11.5D and 11.5E. Due to the elongated vamp, the 333 last is a model that will likely vary from your "off the rack" size. My "off the rack" shoe size is 11.5E. For the Flat Iron, 11E was the right size.

Leather quality sub par
PostedFebruary 16, 2015
The overall fit and design are in line with my expectations based on the three other pairs of AEs that I own.
However, this s the first pair I've purchased post the Brentwood Associates buy out, and I am definitely wondering if they are trying to cut corners with leather quality.
I've had the shoes for about three months now, and since day one the leather has been very loud and noisy (almost squeeky). I was hoping I simply needed to break them in, but I've worn them at least a dozen times (probably more) and they are still as loud and obnoxious as day one.
I plan to reach out to customer service soon and see what can be done. If the answer is nothing, I won't be buying another pair and will have to find a different brand to embrace and pitch to my friends.
Response from allenedmonds.comBy Allen Edmonds Customer ServiceMarch 3, 2015
Thank you for your review of the Flatiron and we apologize for any inconvenience with the squeaking you report. Squeaking is a property of new leather, it happens when two pieces of leather rub against each other. More than likely it is occurring between the tongue and lining under the blucher opening. We use full grain leathers and leather lining which initially can be susceptible to this contact. While completely natural to experience this in a new shoe, a good polishing or leather lotion application will quell the noise during the initial break in period. If this does not quiet the squeak, please reach out to our customer service team for further assistance. Our team can be contacted at 1-877-817-7615 or eservice@allenedmonds.com and would be happy to help.

Cool statement shoes
PostedJanuary 10, 2015
This was my first pair of AEs,sand it's just a great shoe. The first draw for me was the styling: sleek look, slightly understated, with great quality appearance. Some here say the shoe is narrow, but I am a "D" and these fit fine. The only downside is the three lace holes. It would be perfect to have four.
